Whose White House?

I said I didn't want to be political, and I ignored it the first time, BUT.....

Obama said it again....

It won't happen in "MY WHITE HOUSE," he says.

In my book the White House belongs to the PEOPLE!

Just had too get it off my chest.....

Et Tu, Ute

I don't really want to get political on this blog, but I am wondering.....

Listening to a speech by Obama yesterday, I heard him thanking everyone who was even remotely within earshot. One thank you was directed to a Native American tribe in Colorado.
"I want to thank the Utes," he said.
He pronounced it "You - tay." Someone by his side must have caught it because he quickly, and quietly, pronounced it again, properly. Now, I wonder.....

Am I the only one who heard it?

Was the tribe offended?

Why did Obama, or someone on his trusted team, not bring him up-to-speed on the pronunciation of something that important. That is like mispronouncing someones name.

Why does the press pounce on a Conservative faux pas, and pass on the Liberal?

Does the Press not know how to pronounce Ute, thus missing the mispronunciation?

Just wondering......
