For example "Fielding", or "Heinz". Therefore Boehner is pronounced Bay-ner, not Bow-ner.

The fact is, this will garner him more votes from the racist Right, who denigrate the accomplishments of African-Americans by labeling it as "just Black History," which patriotic white Americans can safely ignore, because, they think, it's not REAL American history. I'm also from Ohio, there is NO reason anyone with half a brain should mispronounce Tuskegee. Hell, I was taught how to pronounce the word by the time I was 10. The only way to remain ignorant about the pronunciation of Tuskegee is if one has spent their life deliberately trying not to learn about the accomplishments of African-Americas.

Why don't we look into Boehner's ties to big businesses like predatory lenders (Sallie Mae, aka SLM Financial) and big tobacco? Those wrongdoings of his require a lot less inference and have more hard facts of corruption on Boner's part than the way he mispronounces words does.
