I hate wasting 5 points on this, but have to ask.?

Why does the spellchecker on here recognize McCain as being spelled correctly, but not Obama? I am looking for sarcasm here, best answer for the answer that makes me laugh.

Update:

Why would I doubt you pootfart...? You guys with the serious answers need to read the question.

Update 2:

that's the spirit Davo
