ESPN Personality Has No Idea How To Pronounce Barack Obama's Name

Barack Obama was the president of the United States for eight years, but one prominent ESPN personality still has no idea how to pronounce his name, apparently.
This week, Chris "Mad Dog" Russo went viral for attempting to pronounce Obama's name on the air. He failed miserably.
"Barack Obama was the President of the United States for eight years. Here is how Chris "Mad Dog" Russo just pronounced his name. Twice. This. This is the all timer," Jimmy Traina wrote.
You have to listen:

Maybe next time, the ESPN personality will go with "Obama" instead, rather than fumbling through several different pronunciations of "Barack."
But if you're going to talk about politics, at least get the names right, especially when one of those names is a former United States president.
Perhaps we'll hear Stephen A. Smith or Molly Qerim taunting Russo about his pronunciation mistake during "First Take" later this week. He's certainly deserving of some bashing.
