In an embarrassment to the US presidency,the White House press office has reportedly spelt First Lady Michelle Obama8217;s name wrong.
In a media release sent out on Tuesday evening,Michelle8217;s name was spelled with just the one 8216;L8217; 8212; the error was committed by an aide in the White House press office,the 8216;Daily Mail8217; online reported.
8220;Michele and I are deeply saddened by the loss of life,injuries,and damage that have occurred as a result of the recent earthquake and tsunami in West Sumatra,8221; the release was quoted as saying.
However,on Thursday,the White House sent out a corrected version.
As the release was being sent out Tuesday night,the First Lady was giving a speech at a campaign fundraiser for California Senator Barbara Boxer.
She said her husband8217;s presidential campaign was never about putting one man in the White House,but about building a movement to restore the American dream.
