In the video below, the Democratic Presidential candidate refers to the school nickname as the "Nittaly Lions". Good thing he's not running for public office or anything.The program's head coach who leans right might take offense, but then there's his son and quarterbacks coach who enjoys blogging about his love for Barack Obama on company time to find sympathy from. Regardless, it's friendly and forgiving political turf.
Not that he needs any excuses, but it's been a long campaign and these mistakes happen to all the candidates, although this one does call back a bit to John Kerry's "Lambert Field" error in Wisconsin. The difference of course being Obama comes across as an actual athlete and sports fan instead of playing one for the cameras.
See the gaffe for yourself below.

Just one of a long list of gaffs from Obama, surprised anyone notice since the media is so enchanted with him and he has a number of delusional followers. My sympathy goes out to the head coach though, obviously the apple fell and rolled quite far from the tree and apparently to the left side of the meadow in regards to his son the quaterback coach's love for Obama. Maybe the head coach can lead the team and his son with an economics class emphasizing the adverse effects of taxation during each half time this season.
Delusional followers, that's funny, you republicans have been delusional for 8 years now, and continue to be so if you think anything will change at all or get better at all under McCain. You talk about delusional followers, look in mirror buddy!
I'd hardly call that "mangled." Is there any doubt he meant to say Nittany Lions? Not like changing what nickname you gave a prison guard depending on what city you're campaigning in. But nice headline.
maybe if they had a half decent basketball team then obama would have come up with the nickname cleanly.
Yeah, i think their young bb team only had a couple of wins last year against the lower teams in the big ten. I think they beat Michagan and Indiana. Maybe this year they can set their sites alittle higher on the better teams like Wisconsin and Purdue.
Hardly a gaffe. Big deal. Delusional? I knew Obama in Chicago in the early 90's. Played basketball with him. Hideous shot but hustled. He was and is also very bright. He graduated at the top of his class at Harvard. You can't do that and be an idiot.
It is not that Obama is an idiot for adding letters and a syllable to Penn State's Nittany Lions, instead pronouncing it "Nittaly Lions".
This is just another typical politician trying to sound cool with those in a local comminity or area by pretending to know things about same, when they actually don't. Kerry did it, as the story reminded us, with "Lambert" Field in Green Bay, and even worse, asking that swiss cheese be put on a Cheese Steak in Philly!
These things just seem worse when it is Obama, because he has based his whole campaign on the idea of not being a pandering phony. Whether it be bowling in an attempt to appear blue collar, or getting a famous college sports teams name wrong, just makes him look like any other pandering, but out of touch politician. As long as he doesn't allow himself to be photographed wearing a helmet while driving a tank, he should be okay.
Sarah Palin would chew him up and spit him out on the court. He'd call in his substitute, Hillary to take the half court shot though!
Unfortunately, Obama is a zero. Doesn't have any practical experience running anything and for such a "young man" seems to get confused and use incorrect English as well as, forget where he is at and goof up names regularly. Obama was raised in Chicago and came up through the known corrrupt political machine and never bucked or changed anything or stood up for what was right. Must be how he got this far? Feel sorry for his brother living in Kenya in squalidness.
IT IS ABOUT ISSUES NOT NAMES , FAMILYS ,OR GAFFS. IT IS ABOUT JOBS
SOC SEC, FOOD PRICES ECT. THESES ARE THE THINGS PEOPLE NEED TO FOCUS ON, ALONG WITH THEIR VOTING RECORDS. NOT THE PETTY THINGS
"Bryan-Hillary" Both of you watch way too much Fox news and it's obvious when considering the inaccurate, ignorant, and fact less comments you make. But, I guess that's all you can do when supporting a party that's done nothing for the past eight years but tarnish America's great reputation and buried us in more debt than ever imagined. Oh, but I guess those are the positive affects of taxation. Huh Bryan? Hillary you sound like the typical bigot and ignorant hypocrite...read a book!
Ann , you sound a little frustrated . It sounds as though you are reading too many books , funny how you sound like the typical bigot and ignorant hypocrite , solely based on someone saying something you dont like . Modus operandi for all liberal democrats .
keep the political commentary out, please. short of saying that he mangled the term, the rest of your stuff craps out your article. You worry that his mangling affects his ability to govern, Imagine the other old fool mangling the names of the factions that run Iraq!! and he thinks he's gonna be president? good grief!
Leo, if you're going to use Latin to insult democrats at least use it in the right context, lol. Your so typical, lol. Oh and you can never read too many books. Genius!
if you get your head out of his butt the you may see the real problem the dem have ran the leg part of the goverment the last two years when all of this problems came up. so niether can really do anything if congress dosn't buy in. but the more exp one has a better chance to pull congress together than the other. now if obama would stay in congress longer and then run for govener of a state the run for this office i would vote for him but he is to wet behind the ears
typical what Ann ?
At least he doesn't shoot wolves from helicopters like Hockey Mask Mom.

Philip J. Berg, Esq. Files Federal Lawsuit
Requesting Obama
Be Removed as a Candidate as he does not meet the
Qualifications for President
(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 08/21/08) - Philip J. Berg, Esquire, [Berg is a
former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania; former candidate for Governor and
U.S. Senate in Democratic Primaries; former Chair of the Democratic Party in
Montgomery County; former member of Democratic State Committee; an attorney with
offices in Montgomery County, PA and an active practice in Philadelphia, PA, filed a
lawsuit in Federal Court today, Berg vs. Obama, Civil Action No. 08-cv-4083, seeking
a Declaratory Judgment and an Injunction that Obama does not meet the qualifications to
Z\\FORMS\PressReleaseObama08212008 2
be President of the United States. Berg filed this suit for the best interests of the
Democratic Party and the citizens of the United States.
Philip J. Berg, Esquire stated in his lawsuit that Senator Obama:
1. Is not a naturalized citizen; and/or
2. Lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia; and/or
3. Has dual loyalties because of his citizenship with Kenya and
Indonesia.
Berg stated: “I filed this action at this time to avoid the obvious problems that
will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.
There have been numerous questions raised about Obama’s background with no
satisfactory answers. The questions that I have addressed include, but are not limited to:
1. Where was Obama born? Hawaii; an island off of Hawaii; Kenya;
Canada; or ?
2. Was he a citizen of Kenya, Indonesia and/or Canada?
3. What was the early childhood of Obama in Hawaii; in Kenya; in
Indonesia when he was adopted; and later, back to Hawaii?
4. An explanation as to the various names utilized by Obama that
include: Barack Hussein Obama; Barry Soetoro; Barry Obama; Barack
Dunham; and Barry Dunham.
5. Illinois Bar Application – Obama fails to acknowledge use of names
other than Barack Hussein Obama, a blatant lie.
If Obama can prove U.S. citizenship, we still have the issue of muti-citizenship
with responsibilities owed to and allegance to other countries.

Berg continued:
“Eighteen million Democratic Primary voters donated money, volunteered their
time and energy, worked very hard and then not only supported Senator Clinton, but
voted for her and often recruited other supporters as well. All the efforts of supporters of
legitimate citizens were for nothing because this man lied and cheated his way into a
fraudulent candidacy and cheated legitimately eligible natural born citizens from
competing in a fair process and the supporters of their citizen choice for the nomination.
Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a nominee and were defrauded by
Senator Obama's lies and obfuscations. He clearly shows a conscience of guilt by his
actions in using the forged birth certificate and the lies he's told to cover his loss of
citizenship. We believe he does know, supported this belief by his actions in hiding his
secret, in that he failed to regain his citizenship and used documents to further his
position as a natural born citizen. We would also show he proclaims himself a
Constitutional scholar and lecturer, but did not learn he had no eligibility to become
President except by means of lying, obfuscations and deceptions. His very acts proves he
knew he was no longer a natural born citizen. We believe he knew he was defrauding the
country or else why use the forged birth certificate of his half sister?
Americans lost money, goods and services donated in their support of a candidate
who supposedly was a natural born citizen simply because the DNC officers and party
leaders looked the other way and did not demand credentials to answer the questions and
prove whether or not Senator Obama was a legitimately natural born citizen, even in light
of recent information that has surfaced on websites on the Internet suggesting Senator
Obama may not be eligible to become President and questioning his status of multiple
citizenships and questionable loyalties! If the DNC officers and.or leaders had
performed one ounce of due diligence we would not find ourselves in this emergency
predicament, one week away from making a person the nominee who has lost their
citizenship as a child and failed to even perform the basic steps of regaining citizenship
through an oath of allegiance at age eighteen [18] as prescribed by Constitutional laws!

The injunctrive relief must be granted because failing to do so, this inaction
defrauds everyone who voted in the Democratic Primary for a nominee that is a fair
representation of the voters. Failure to grant injunctive relief would allow a corrupted,
fraudulent nomination process to continue. It not only allows, but promotes an
overwhelming degree of disrespect and creates such a lack of confidence in voters of the
primary process itself, so that it would cement a prevailing belief that no potential
candidate has to obey the laws of this country, respect our election process, follow the
Constitution, or even suffer any consequence for lying and defrauding voters to get onto
the ballot when they have no chance of serving if they fraudulently manage to get
elected! It is unfair to the country for candidates of either party to become the nominee
when there is any question of their ability to serve if elected.
All judges are lawyers and held to a higher standard of practice than a regular
lawyer. It is this Judicial standard that demands injunctive relief prayed for here. This
relief is predicated upon one of the most basic premises of practicing law which states no
lawyer can allow themselves to be used in furthering a criminal enterprise. And by that
gauge alone, failing to give injunctive relief to the 18 million supporters of the other
candidate, a true natural born citizen eligible to serve if elected, this court must not allow
itself to be used to further the criminal and fraudulent acts to continue and be rewarded
by becoming the Democratic Nominee. Failure to give the injunctive relief prayed for
will insure that a corrupted Presidential election process will only guarantee a show of
unfair preference of one group of people over another group by not demanding the same
rules be applied to all groups equally and fairly, especially in light of the fact that both
candidates are each considered a minority.
