*Scroll down for update.
I know this is trivial, but we've learned that Obama doesn't know how to pronounce Orion.
Maybe it's not in Teleprompter's job description to spell words out phonetically.
h/t: the CornerAll terrific press for Orion, except that Obama kept pronouncing the company’s name wrong, calling it OAR-ee-on.
After finishing his remarks and talking with a few people, the president returned to the microphone and said his prepared remarks led him to pronounce the firm's name wrong.
“I suspect this is Or-EYE-on as opposed to OAR-ee-on. Just wanted to make sure that when I’m giving you a plug, that we’ve got the right plug. It’s Or-EYE-on.”
*Update: I don't feel quite so petty now that Powerline has picked up on this, too. They suggest we add astronomy to the list (history and economics) of disciplines Obama knows little about. Let's throw in classical mythology, too.
