In Ford’s Theater, Obama invokes forbidden word

CNN Political Ticker: "It’s a word so fraught with superstition, its very mention can send grown men ducking for cover — and President Obama used it Wednesday night.
Macbeth."

Way to go Obama!

I think it is really funny that some people are getting worked up about this. Its just a superstition and its someone who didn't know any better and isn't a theatre person.
I think the theatre and all involved will be okay.

Best of luck to Obama for his next four years , or should that be break a leg?

I agree with Katherine. I believe that this is really dumb; I'm not really superstitious at all and have never experienced "bad luck" because of something that I did to violate the rules of it. Hence, I think that our president will continue to rock and help the nation.
