Sure, there may be 100 senators’ names to remember, but perhaps the president could study them between golf holes, couldn’t he?

During an interview with Manchester, New Hampshire-based WMUR — intended to build pressure on U.S. senators to hold a hearing for his Supreme Court nominee — President Obama totally blew Sen. Kelly Ayotte’s name.

“I know that folks like Sen. A– Ayotte,” pronouncing it A-oat, “met with him and the fact that they’re not calling a hearing or a vote, mean they’re not doing their job.”

Ayotte, who pronounces it A-ott, could argue President Obama isn’t doing his job in learning the name of the senator from New Hampshire.
