President Barack Obama has received a lot of amazing gifts since becoming the President of the United States, but one of them fell flat. Former adviser David Axelrod spoke to New York Magazine about a gift he gave President Obama, and we learned that Michael Jordan doesn’t know how to spell the president’s name.
Michael Jordan misspelled President Barack Obama’s name on a birthday gift
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
“When the president turned 50, I wanted to get him something special ... so I sent it to Jordan to have him sign it for me.” In black Sharpie, Jordan scrawled, “To Barrack: you still owe me dinner. Wishing you well, Michael Jordan.”
Think this was just a typo in the story? Think again.
“I gave it to the president, and he said, ‘I can’t put this up, he misspelled my name!‘ So I said, ‘Fine, I’ll take it.’ ”
Poor POTUS. Dude can’t catch a break.
