We all remember when Obama said this, right?
"...over the last 15 months we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in 57 states. I think one left to go."
Well the geography genius is at it again... On Leno last night he made yet another gaff on his geography knowledge:
LENO: You mentioned infrastructure. Why is that a partisan issue? I live in a town, the bridge is falling apart, it’s not safe. How does that become Republican or Democrat? How do you not just fix the bridge? (Laughter and applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: I don’t know. As you know, for the last three years, I’ve said, let’s work together. Let’s find a financing mechanism and let’s go ahead and fix our bridges, fix our roads, sewer systems, our ports. [You know], the Panama [Canal] is being widened so that these big supertankers can come in. Now, that will be finished in 2015. If we don’t deepen our ports all along the Gulf — places like Charleston, South Carolina, or Savannah, Georgia, or Jacksonville, Florida — if we don’t do that, those ships are going to go someplace else. And we’ll lose jobs. Businesses won’t locate here.
Full Story. (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/08/07/did-you-catch-the-presidents-u-s-geography-fail-on-leno-tuesday/)
Except one small problem Mr. President... Charleston, Savannah, and Jacksonville are Atlantic coast ports, not Gulf coast ports. Derp! Of course if it was Bush who made this comment he'd be torn to pieces like a seal in shark infested waters. [Bang]
