Description

Politicians, like any public figures, sometimes make verbal slips or misspeak, leading to memorable and often humorous moments. Here are a few notable examples:George W. Bush: Known for his malapropisms, one of his most famous misspeaks was when he said, "They mis underestimated me," combining "misunderstood" and "underestimated."Barack Obama: In 2008, while campaigning, Obama mistakenly said he had visited "57 states" in the U.S., obviously misspeaking the number of states.Dan Quayle: As Vice President, Quayle famously misspelled "potato" by adding an unnecessary "e" at the end during a school spelling bee.Donald Trump: Known for his unique speaking style, Trump once referred to the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, as "Tim Apple," which became a widely discussed gaffe.Joe Biden once introduced Barack Obama as Barack America.Keeping politicians on message and on strategy can be tough.

Communication is in every facet of our daily lives. In fact, if the ability to cooperate is what makes us distinctly different as humans, it's the ability to communicate that facilitates this. Is it any wonder communication has become a thriving profession? Those who succeed have the ability to persuade through public relations, government relations, media relations, crisis management, stakeholder engagement, marketing strategy, advertising, through all things strategic communications. They will create the websites and social media campaigns that influence us and the podcasts we remember. Doug Downs hosts this podcast about PR for those who do the work and those who hire the comms pros.
