"Dukakis". A name with more than two vowels in it running for President! The last time that had happened was Eisenhower (who looked good on a tank). Generally speaking Americans like their presidents to have no more than two vowels. Truman, Johnson, Nixon, Clinton. If they have more than two vowels (Reagan), they can have no more than two syllables. Even better is one syllabe and one vowel: Bush. Had to do that twice.

Obama has more than two vowels and more than two syllabs!
