GREAT COMMUNICATOR: “How would he pronounce Cassiopeia?”

UPDATE: Reader R.H. Hardin says Obama’s teleprompter was right, and his critics are wrong:

Or-ee-an is the way the Michigan town of Lake Orion is pronounced.

It traps new newscasters on WJR Detroit.

That’s news to me. But is Orion Energy Systems pronounced like the town, or the constellations?

ANOTHER UPDATE: Ed Morrissey emails:

You were right the first time; Obama blew it. He even acknowledged it afterwards. See my update.

I also have the video.

So there you have it.
