Geography 101

As a social studies teacher, I'm frustrated and perplexed that people haven't wondered if Mitt Romney is qualified to be president having such a poor understanding of Middle Eastern geography.

"I've now been in 57 states? I think one left to go?" - Then Senator Barack Obama on geography

"When I meet with world leaders, what's striking -- whether it's in Europe or here in Asia..." -mistakenly referring to Hawaii as Asia while holding a press conference outside Honolulu, Nov. 16, 2011

Mountain out of a Molehill but I guess that is all you got.

Mark's right. It's just impossible for you guys to accept fault. Your defense is always something some Democrat did.

Romney's comment was stupid. So is the chart showing the Caspian as a sea. It is an endoheric basin - it has not outlet to another body of water. It is a lake despite the name.

Only progtards think two stupid comments equal one smart one.

Well let's see. If Mark wonders whether Romney is qualified to be president based upon poor knowledge of geography wouldn't he, using the exact same logic wonder if Obama is qualified for the same job based upon the same poor knowledge of the same subject?


You are mistaken, downtown, to assume that bringing up Obama's mistake is a defense of Romney, or a 'failure' to admit fault. What it is is an observation and illumination of Mark's partisanship overwhelming any semblance of logic he might otherwise possess.
