White House still can't get Bruce Braley right

The White House is having a little trouble with the Iowa Senate race.

Earlier this month, first lady Michelle Obama repeatedly mispronounced the name of the Democratic Senate candidate, referring to Rep. Bruce Braley as "Bruce Bailey" during a campaign appearance for him.

Then the White House mistakenly reported that Braley is running for governor.

After Mrs. Obama's return to Iowa on Tuesday, the White House transcript of her remarks referred to a "Grassroots Campaign Event with Democratic Candidate for Governor Bruce Braley."

The White House later e-mailed a correction confirming that Braley is, in fact, running for senator (against Republican Joni Ernst).

During her appearance at the University of Iowa, Mrs. Obama joked about her earlier faux pas.

After urging the crowd to "give it up for Bruce!" Mrs. Obama said: "Now, let me say that one more time: Bruce Braley!"

The first lady added: "People should follow me home because -- talk to Malia and Sasha and I never call them the right names. It’s like, 'who are you?' I call Barack Bo. It just -- it never works out really well."
