Here's Obama in Wisconsin yesterday:
I haven't watched much of that, but the Milwaukee State Journal says:
At several points, Obama mispronounced Evers' name, which rhymes with “weavers,” not “endeavors.”It rhymes with "cleavers" and "beavers" and "fevers" and "grievers" not "severs" and "whoever's."
Maybe somebody told Obama it rhymes with "levers."
But, man, somebody is serving Obama badly. He comes all the way to the state, then gets the name of the candidate wrong.
If you want to compare crowd-drawing power: Obama got 3,500 in Milwaukee yesterday (with 600 in the overflow room). Milwaukee is the biggest city in Wisconsin. Trump did a rally on Wednesday in Mosinee, Wisconsin, a town I've never heard of, and I've lived in Wisconsin for 34 years. I'm having trouble finding the crowd-size number for that rally, but I am seeing this, in the Wausau Daily Herald:
Meanwhile, [Trump] mispronounced the name of his choice Senate candidate, referring to her as "Leah Vyook-mar" at one point in the night. He also said Evers' name incorrectly as if it rhymes with "levers," not "weavers."As if it rhymes with "levers"?!!! So my theory may be correct. Advisers are giving exactly the wrong word to say "Evers" rhymes with.
AH!!! GET AWAY FROM THAT LEVER!!! YOU'LL BLOW US ALL TO ATOMS!!!!

It just goes to show you that Wisconsin is an other worldly place.
(Or maybe that Washingtonians are out of touch with the real world)
Don't leverage losers.
Take that, Tony.
I set the brake up by connecting up rod and lever. - Yes, given the whole of the rest of the mechanism. Only in conjunction with that is it a brake-lever, and separated from its support it is not even a lever; it may be anything, or nothing.

Obama pronounces the name correctly. Everyone else is wrong. And also Racist.
Did he pronounce it "zombie" or "corpse man"?
This is what I don't get about the bomber. Obama is not even on our radar as a threat. It's like there is a "safe to ignore" bit next to him in the right wing brain.
Is it really all that important? The fact that Obama came and stumped for Evers is far more important.
Did the Bride of Frankenstein let out a cheese curdling scream?
(Its FRONKINSCHTEEN, not FRANKINSTINE !)
Obama had negative coat tails the whole time her was president.

Yeah. If history is a guide it means that Evers will lose.
I was going to go with the thread jack because what can you do with the "Don't touch the lever" joke but just admire it? So lacking a like button for it, I am going to just comment "like."
I heard he claimed no one in his Administration was ever indicted. Which might be true, since his DoJ ignored the Congressional referral when they found Holder in contempt of Congress. Also, time hasn't fully weighed in on whether or not members of his Administration will go unindicted.
I was going to listen to some of that, but could not do it. I really can’t listen much to any of our Presidents, except Reagan and Trump.
Everyone knows Obama doesn’t actually know anything about Evers, he’s there for the Blues.

The first time I started comments, some time early in 2004, just after starting the blog, I ended up shutting them down because I couldn't take people telling me, in post after post, that I should be blogging about the Iraq War, as if every time I blogged about anything else, I was complicit in evil.
EEEVIL!

Oh and how I miss the Obama jog with the hands held high up and close to the chest, sucha stark contrast with Trump standing on the down escalator.

I used to be more sensitive.
There's no rhyme for "sensitive."
Unless you accept "pensative."
So Hillary didn't go to Wisconsin again!
Someone serves Obama badly? How about Obama serves the people of Wisconsin badly? He has, amongst some — the cruel, the neutral — prestige and influence. He chooses to use it *without knowing WTF he is talking about*.
But it's his *staff* that's to blame!
"I took, oftentimes, my pen in my hand to write it, and as often set it down again, as not knowing what I should write; and being once in a muse, with my paper before me, my pen in mine ear, mine elbow on the table, and mine hand on my cheek, imagining what I might write, there entered a friend of mine unexpectedly, who was a very discreet and pleasant-witted man, who, seeing me so pensative, demanded of me the reason of my musing; and not concealing it from him, said that I bethought myself on my preface I was to make to Don Quixote’s history, which did so much trouble me as i neither meant to make any at all, nor publish the history of the acts of so noble a knight."
Leaver can be pronounced as if it rhymes with weaver.

Do you expect media to publish attendance at MR. T's rally?. From the FBI/DOJ timeline, they were watching Hildebeast's numbers. Narrow/closeup focus of the TV cameras on her dias and all. The electricians on her events new something was happening. One "collusion theory to go" piping hot coming up. Donald is strong with the people.

Ok, time to defend Inga. She isn’t suggesting a different topic. She is suggesting you missed an important point about this one. You do the same thing every time you talk about burying the lede or how you have to get to paragraph 389 to learn a key fact.

Or change the spelling to Eaver.
Leave it to Eaver.
"One man working so hard to go no where and another just standing and moving forward."
That's a classic. Love it.
@Althouse, let me see if I have this right. According to this report, Wisconsin's educational achievement gap between black and white is worst in the nation. Tony Evers (Eavers?) is Wisconsin's Superintendent of Public Instruction, so one might imagine that Mr. Evers is filled with shame and humiliation at the crappy job he has been doing as far as getting black educational achievement up to the level of white educational achievement. But obviously one would be wrong because not only did the Wisconsin Democrats nominate him for Governor, but a former President of the United States who is mostly famous for being black is stumping for him.
The report is from three years ago, so perhaps Wisconsin has moved up (tough to move down from "worst"). But do note that at the time the report was issued Tony Evers had been Superintendent of Public Instruction for six years -- plenty of time to assess the problem, formulate a solution, and implement it.
It would not surprise me or any other fair-minded person, however, if Tony Evers' solution to the black-white achievement gap is the standard Democrat answer to everything: throw other people's money at it and hope it goes away. Democrats need to grow up enough to understand that there really are things money cannot buy.

The "you cunt" is silent.
Tcrosse: “Get your own damn blog if you want to tell me about what you think the right example is! I have a 15 year old peeve about commenters telling me about examples I didn’t use.”
In fairness to Inga, I don't think she was criticizing the topic of the blog post. The topic of the blog post was why do big time politicians come all that distance and not be prepared enough to say the candidates name correctly.
Inga was just pointing out that the mispronounciation of the name has much smaller impact than the fact Evers was standing beside and supported by Obama.
“There's no rhyme for ‘sensitive ‘.”

YouTube has two hours of the Trump rally here. (You need to skip forward about fourteen or fifteen minutes.)
Looks like way more than 4100 people present. Nice touch to have Walker come out in a Packers jacket.

"Ok, time to defend Inga. She isn’t suggesting a different topic. She is suggesting you missed an important point about this one."
Nope. It's a different topic by my definition of — not the word "topic" — but the scope of my peeve. I select what I want to talk about, and it does not represent my rating of the importance of anything, but what I want to write about. When someone comes in and tells me I picked the wrong things — which Inga did by saying "Is it really all that important? — I am peeved.
She's talking about importance and selecting something different that I should have prioritized. I don't accept the correction and consider it an annoying misunderstanding of what I am doing here.
Now, if she hadn't begun by purporting to correct me but had shown respect for my 15-year-long writing project, I would not have been annoyed if she'd simply said something like, "What I think is important is that Obama came to Wisconsin at all." I wouldn't care if people talked about that in the comments and think it's not a thread hijack, like those old Iraq War comments I hated so much.
I remember when Obama did not come to Wisconsin and disappointed a lot of people who'd actually had the audacity to hope that he'd meant it when he said, "Understand this: If American workers are being denied their right to organize and collectively bargain, when I'm in the White House, I'll put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself. I'll walk on that picket line with you, as president of the United States of America. Because workers deserve to know that someone's standing in their corner."
Inga was just pointing out that the mispronounciation of the name has much smaller impact than the fact Evers was standing beside and supported by Obama.
@Bill from the great state of Texas, especially true since Evers can't figure out how to educate black kids but a black former president supports him anyway.
I would have advised him to make his campaign slogan: "Leave It To Evers." But he never asked me for my advise.
somebody is serving Obama badly
Didn't we all?
Baldwin, in introducing Obama said they were in a high school. Question, how many people can you fit a high school gymnasium? 3,500?
So, all these years I've been mispronouncing "Tinker to Evers to Chance"? Or is this some Wisconsin dialect that doesn't apply in Chicago? (like "Yohn Yohnson from Visconsin")
There's no rhyme for "sensitive"
So change the problem space. Call yourself "touchy." (Hmmm. Doesn't help much.)

Jesus, Ann. I’m not saying that it’s not important enough for you to blog about. I’ve said numerous times to others that is your blog and you blog what you want to blog about.

Consider a CNN video clip without context edited out — Trump dumping fish food. A good defense of that would be “Don’t tell me what to include. Get your own cable news network”?
Inga was just pointing out that the mispronounciation of the name has much smaller impact than the fact Evers was standing beside and supported by Obama.
Well... Ok.
Obama evidently offered to campaign for Robert Francis O'Rourke in Texas. Beto publicly rejected this ("this is about Texas"), because hemlock would be a much simpler method of suicide in TX.
WI elections, evidently, are not about WI. Ok fine. Enough simps up there that O's name is still one to conjure with. If you say so.
Now, O came all that way. Gets the name wrong. Not like PDJT who is always, mostly refreshingly, a loose cannon, and nobody cares or minds if he mangles "Vook-Meer" (I presume?). O is smrat! Not dumb like everybody says. So, this must mean things. What things?
1. O never does anything by accident, like Louis XIV, this is an intentional slight. O hates Eevers and shows contempt in this way. Don't vote for the schmuck, I'm just here to put the knife in him.
2. O is so much bigger than Eeevers that he just couldn't be arsed to heed his briefing. This could explain the Vaseline on his coattails.
3. O is a dummy, careless, too coked up, low in coke, short sleep, incipient stroke victim.
4. O is SOOOO smrat that this is an intentional tactic to raise awareness of Eeeevers and GOTV.
5. Steal underpants,...?,...PROFIT!

Maybe after she gets her cataract surgery she’ll see more clearly and not jump to erroneous conclusions.
Possibly, once the scales are lifted from her eyes, she'll see the leftist project for what it really is, and light you all on (metaphorical) fire.

”There's no rhyme for "sensitive."”
There are a lot of rhymes, aren’t there? Accusative, provocative, ... I’m typing with one hand so I’ll stop now.
@Meade, some autocorrects appear to be aware of sentence structure (i.e., next word should be a noun or an adjective). Others, not so much.
Ann could have made a big deal that Trump mispronounced Leah Vukmir’s name but instead she spent paragraphs on President Obama’s mistake. Only Ann still believes in her lie of “cruel neutrality.”
Depends on your standards for a rhyme, but I think "tentative" would be a fine rhyme for sensitive. Rappers would accept it.
My pet peeve; complaining about autocorrect.
Turn it off.
I did, Inga? Me? You sure about that?
As you don't live rent-free in my head, Schatzie, I don't maintain your mental baggage in my own buffers, to have your explosive diarrhea ready to reference, but I'm pretty sure that your "I'm done here" fits arise to new levels over a mere quip here or there.
Pretty much beyond anything I've ever seen here actually. Don't sell yourself short, you did a man's job of it. I'm actually not sure why you don't get the Glynn treatment after that. She may have outdone you but not by much, and she really does think more than you.
And isn’t it great that at the Vukmir/Trump rally the crowd chanted “Lock Her Up!” in reference to Tammy Baldwin. What losers.
"I would have advised him to make his campaign slogan: "Leave It To Evers." But he never asked me for my advise."
I blame the superintendent of schools for Meade's getting un-educated, writing "advise" like that or as I say in my more poetic moments, righting "advise" like that.
And I think "Leave It To Evers" is a fantastics slogan. It makes sense and it subtly teaches us to pronounce his name right.
I don't know how to pronounce Vukmir, and it doesn't matter, I'm still voting for her.
Ken B-we will know the tree by its fruits. Keep on the way you're going by all means.

Ah, the creature is back. Her post specifically referenced PDJT's misstep, which evidently was not repeated. Obama gave us Evvvers ovvver and ovvver again.

Obama and Trump are right, Tony Evers is pronouncing his name wrong.

"@Bill from the great state of Texas, especially true since Evers can't figure out how to educate black kids but a black former president supports him anyway."
Keeping people uneducated and dependent on the govt while beung indoctrinated to accept socialism is the very point of public education.
Once you understand the strategic objectives of the leftists you will see that in pursuing those objectives Evers performance has been stellar.
Lets face it no one would care what this post turtle as to say if he weren't a minority hire. That is all he will be known for in the history books "First Black President" and "The man that hollowed out the democratic party for a generation"
Althouse POUNCES on obambi repeated verbal gaffes which clearly cannot be the fault of the Lefty-LightBringer!
Narayanan Subramanian: "Was Obama lone black raisin among white grapes?"
According to Todays Lefty Dictionary, those were "white-blacks".
As opposed to a Kanye or Ben Carson. They have been relegated to "not black at all-actually white" status.
All along the lines of "white hispanic" and now "white-Native American".
It can be difficult to keep up with our modern Maoist-Kremlin-ites.
At least Obama needs no coaching to pronounce "I" correctly. He has perfected it through practice. He may even know how to spell it.

OK I think the internet is done for today, you win.
If Trump had been able to book Lambeau, he would have filled it to at least half capacity, and likely filled it completely.
It probably makes some sense to have Obama campaign for Evers in Wisconsin- he did at least win the state twice handily, but Obama's record for getting other people elected is pretty bad outside of the single election of 2008. I am guessing he helped Evers little at all with that speech.

While addressing Inga?? Absolutely Freudian!!
Paraphrasing Andrew Gillum, I am not saying that Trump is an asshole. It’s just that people who are total assholes think Trump is an asshole.
That's funny, because I've heard "lever" the mechanical device pronounce like "weaver", while "lever" like "Trevor" is the verb pronunciation.
Is it common for ex Presidents to speak on campaigns 2 years after their tenure? Bush in 2010? Clinton in 2002? Bush I in 94? Carter in 82?

What the hell does WIWILL.VOTE mean??
Is that some kind of dog whistle that compels WI voters to vote democrat? Are they hiring former graffiti artists as graphic designers?
Partially, it's that there's a freak show quality to Dump and his rallies - they have mass appeal like with fake wrestling.
Obama gives a speech. Says I 823453928 times.
Mispronounces that other guys name.
Tries to take credit for the economy he obviously had nothing to do with.
Is called smart.
Maybe somebody told Obama it rhymes with "levers."
Didn’t Obama once claim to be a better speechwriter than any of his speechwriters? Maybe he couldn’t be bothered to be coached on such a (to him) trivial matter.
Meanwhile Dump's use of "we" is the most disingenuous way of speaking out there.
No one pronounces my name correctly when they first see it and say it.
Probably goes back to the Dutch name Evers, older forms Everts(en) = Evert’s son. The Dutch pronounce it Aivers (rhymes with waivers).

I asked this of the progressive on my doorstep stumping for Evers. Her response was it was Walker’s fault.
Uh-huh.
HT: "Meanwhile Dump's use of "we" is the most disingenuous way of speaking out there."
Characterizing the use of "we" in speaking as "the most disingenuous way of speaking out there" constitutes the most disingenuous sort of faux analysis of public speaking techniques one is likely to come across.
Only New England would elect someone like John Kerry.
God what a tool. Remember when he went hunting?
@Original Mike, if one naively believes -- as most Dumbocrats do -- that the one right way to solve problems is to throw other people's money at them, then she probably believes what she told you.
Neither the pronunciation nor Obama’s presence is important. What is important is, that as TV and radio tries to flog snippets of Obama’s civility bullshit in the last few days, I’ve seen people laugh, shake their heads, and make comments of the “blowhard” variety. One of the consequences of the slavish adoration of Obama’s Presidency may be the limited shelf-life of his post-Presidency influence.
@Big Mike - She said as much. I said I don’t believe our poor education results, at this point, is a matter of more money. That pretty much ended the conversation.
Would Evers be temerous and tell Obama how to say name write?!!.
Or accept as black level education?

oh, and Here's an Idea!
If people don't like Our Professor Althouse's opinions; maybe they should just not come here!
I took Obama's advice and looked up the numbers on job growth. Obama's right about the numbers of job creation, at least through 2017, (a quick search) however he's not right about bringing back manufacturing jobs from overseas. Trump is beating him in that category because of his policies.
What bugs me about Obama is that he is attacking and demonizing Republicans at this time. That's very counterproductive for our country and one of the reasons why I feel Obama is not truly patriotic, he's always partisan. Also, his swipes about indictments in Trump's administration is deliberately misleading-- he's talking about people who served a short time on the campaign and were indicted for crimes committed many years before the election. Not to mention that we wouldn't even have the Mueller investigation except for the fact that Democrats refused to accept the election result and insisted Trump only won because of Russian collusion.
To see former President Obama actively attacking the current President and attacking the Republican Party as the party of privileged people who want to keep the common people down is disturbing, it's the epitome of divisiveness and demagoguery.
My position is that no one gets to be president forever so have the grace to let go of power when you are out of office. Obama could do so much good if he were willing to acknowledge the good Trump is doing. Instead Obama is going to Milwaukee to mispronounce some guy's name and tell people to vote for Democrats (so he and his friends can reap the benefits of power and influence). That's how I see him.

Maybe the person(s) advising Obama/trump that Evers's name rhymes with "levers" are british?
From this article: https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1036123/President-Donald-Trump-Wisconsin-Mosinee-rally-live-Scott-walker-midterm-elections
"Right Side Broadcasting Network estimates that "at least 5,000" people are in attendance."
So, Obama, 3,500 in Milwaukee, the largest city in the state.
Trump, 5,000 in small town no-one's ever heard of.
Yeah, about right.
