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." . . .
Why Won’t Barack Obama Go Away? Unfortunately, the American people are suffering the consequences of Obama’s insatiable desire to insert himself into the national conversation. He has been vocal in criticizing the Trump-era GOP and boosting Democrats on the campaign trail ever since making the two-mile trek from the White House to Kalorama. Obama soared to the top of the political world after his 2004 Democratic National Convention speech vowed there was not a liberal America and a conservative America, but a singular United States of America. It’s a poignant sentiment. But once in power, Obama ruled as divider-in-chief.
"All these years later, he’s still acting the same way." . . .
