[Tutor] Differentiating vowels from consonants

[William Becerra]

Hello, I'm new to programming
Running Python 2.7.8 on Windows 8 OS

I was reading http://www.sthurlow.com/python/lesson07/
Here there is an example of the for loop with a Cheerleader
program but the program is not able to print grammatically correct.


word = raw_input("Who do you go for? ")

for letter in word:
    call = "Gimme a " + letter + "!"
    print call
    print letter + "!"

print "What does that spell?"
print word + "!"

I tried changing the code so that  the program
can recognize vowels from consonants and write the correct article (a or an)
here is my code.

word = raw_input("Who do You Support: ")
vowels = ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u')

for letter in word:
    if letter == vowels:
        call = 'Give me an ' + letter + '!'
        print call
        print letter + '!'
    else :
        call = 'Give me a ' + letter + '!'
        print call
        print letter + '!'

print 'What does that say'
print word + '!!'


My code also isn't able to recognise vowels.
For example if i write Manchester as the raw_input
i get :
give me a M
give me a a
etc.
I would like it to say
give me a M
give an a

So here is my question. What is wrong with my code and how can I
change it to get the result I want.
Thank You
