In the midst of the former President's praise, Obama pronounced Talarico's last name as "Turico," butchering the state representative's last name.

"Barack Obama brought charisma, warmth and star power to the Texas campaign trail as he joined James Talarico for a series of candid interactions with voters in Austin, Texas, on May 12. From laughing with supporters to holding a child and greeting diners, the former president’s presence seemed to resonate with the public years after leaving office." . . .
"Obama and James Talarico moved from table-to-table speaking with patrons as supporters gathered around them inside the Austin restaurant. Obama spent nearly 30 minutes moving from booth to booth in a classic display of retail politicking, chatting with voters about issues ranging from data centers to voting rights while posing for group photos with an overwhelmingly younger crowd that erupted with excitement when the former president walked in.
"The images reinforced Obama’s continuing influence within Democratic politics as candidates seek to tap into his popularity and public appeal. The former president, however, did not make any public remarks or formally endorse either Democrat." . . .
