Consider this your fun little game of the day. Can you spot what’s wrong with this picture?
Stumped? Let me give you a hint: the picture was taken in Ohio.
Still not sure? Romney campaign man Christopher Maloney has the big reveal:
The Hill has more:
Although Obama and several students at a campaign stop Tuesday morning at Sloopy’s Diner on the campus of OSU tweeted out photos of the president correctly posing as the “I” in Ohio, another student supplied a photo of a spelling mishap to Mitt Romney’s campaign.
The photo, tweeted by Romney’s Ohio communications director, Christopher Maloney, shows Obama and three students all a little confused about how to spell the state’s name, with Obama holding his hands up in what seems to be an “H” and as the third letter.
A report by the Washington post suggested the photo was doctored. But Maloney stands by its authenticity, saying he got it directly from a student who was snapping pictures. And the Post’s theory was later debunked.
Eventually the president and the students got it right, as evidenced by the picture tweeted from the President’s official account:

Posted on August 22, 2012 at 3:39pmSince Glenn and this site are masters at spelling, it comes as no surprise that they would be quick to point out this mistake. Oh, wait a minute, all those spelling errors I see on this site are errors made by Beck’s “reporters” and “editors.”

“You guys” — nice generalization. I never said anything about Dan Quayle, I only pointed out that Beck and TheBlaze seem to have trouble spelling. Thus, they should not be so quick to condemn Obama for this.
“You can’t have it both ways.” The same goes for TheBlaze and Glenn Beck, right? I also might add that Tea Party signs have a history of atrocious spelling — YOU CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!.

First, script OHIO was taught to (The Ohio State University, much like the MSU school of animal husbandtiry who are hard pressed to spell words over two letters) by the Michigan marching band many years ago. Michigan fans already live in Oklahoma as in all the States, countries of the world so do not have to be moved there. For what it is worth, Obama and his gang doing OHIO easily makes them either grads of OSU or persons who should go to OSU. After 4, 5, 6, 7… years the spelling would still be the same.
