OSU Republicans greet Obama with reminder of his poor spelling!
COLUMBUS, Ohio (PNN) - October 11, 2012 - Illegitimate President Barack Obama’s visit to Ohio State University on Tuesday was greeted with a half-page ad in the school’s student newspaper, The Lantern, making fun of the illegitimate president for not being able to spell “Ohio”.
The photo was originally tweeted out on Aug. 22 by Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s Ohio communications director, Christopher Maloney, after Obama had stopped by an Ohio diner for lunch the previous day. The picture shows Obama with three students accidentally spelling out “Ohio” as O-I-H-O. It quickly went viral afterward.
The ad, paid for by Ohio State University (OSU) College Republicans, is captioned “SINCE YOU’RE HERE, IT’S O-H-I-O. Go Bucks!”
Obama’s Tuesday visit to OSU, one of the largest universities in the Fascist Police States of Amerika, was the fifth within the last two years.
“We wanted to make sure he was welcomed,” said Niraj Antani, OSU College Republican’s communications director. “Our ad was run in a humorous way and we had a little fun with it… I think that students found it funny and enjoyed it - even Democrats.”
The Republican ad was also a response to a full-page ad from the Ohio Democrat Party that ran in The Lantern on Friday. The ad quoted Romney saying he is a football fan of OSU’s long-time rival, University of Michigan.
“[The Democrat ad] was insincere,” Ohio Republican Party Communications Director Matthew Henderson said. “They don’t play Michigan until late November. It’s premature and a little bit childish.”
Obama’s campaign rally coincided with the last day for Ohio residents to register to vote. Approximately 15,000 people attended - half the 30,000 who attended Obama’s October 2010 OSU rally.
