Our very busy Campaigner-in-Chief has been out west the past few days shaking down his fatcat millionaire and billionaire buddies while pretending to actually do his job by holding carefully orchestrated townhall events. Naturally, as with all things Obama, there are props involved, and not just human ones. Here you have what's supposed to be a map of the western United States that's curiously missing New Mexico and Arizona. In Obama's world, we've probably already ceded them to the Mexican drug cartels.
Notice the states in white and the cities mentioned. The states are Washington, California and Colorado, right?
Uh, not so fast.
Looks like someone in the White House press office needs to brush up on his or her U.S. geography.
The press office issued credentials to those reporters and photojournalists who are covering the president’s trip this week to Washington state, California, and Colorado. The credential even provides a handy graphic highlighting (in white) which states the president will visit.
The only problem?
Wyoming is highlighted, not Colorado.
Seemingly every day there's another gaffe from this bumbling incompetent, so many it's difficult keeping track. Yet you ever notice the so-called "mainstream" media relentlessly goofing on Obama over his endless reel of gaffes, missatements and mispronunciations? Of course not. Heck, for CNN to even mention this marks a breakthrough (don't expect to see this at MSNBC) in itself, although they later err themselves by saying the states are next to each other.
Back in 1992 former Vice President Dan Quayle had the temerity to add an "e" at the end of potato and the jokes still reverberate nearly two decades later. He was reduced to a punchline over an innocuous event, but Obama gets away with it. Mangling the word corpsman, claiming he's visited 57 states, calling Iran a tiny country and recently the Intercontinental Railroad and Jew-janitor malaprops, just to name a few.
Sure, he's ridiculed by his opponents (well, the blogosphere, at least), but whenever these flubs occur it's a one news-cycle story at best in the media and quickly forgotten. But let a Rick Perry, Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann misspeak and it's worldwide news as they're buried in an avalanche of ridicule. Heck, most of the time they don't have to say something stupid. The media will just go and put words in their mouths for them.
Colorado and Wyoming? They're just some big states on a map derisively referred to as flyover country by the coastal elites and who can tell them apart? Besides, there's just a bunch of bible-thumpers and bitter clingers living out there.
