.. he sure does do some dumb things:
This is how President Obama signed the guestbook at Westminster Abbey earlier today, where he got a tour from the Very Reverend Dr. John Hall and laid a wreath on the Grave of the Unknown Warrior.
It is a great privilege to commemorate our common heritage, and common sacrifice.
Barack Obama
24 May 2008
For the liberals visiting, today is 24 May 2011... just sayin'.
But wait, there's more:
"I want everybody in Joplin, everybody in Missouri, everybody in Minnesota, everybody across the Midwest to know that we are here for you," the president said Tuesday in London, the second stop on his four-country, six-day tour of Europe.
Here being London... sigh...
Dude's so much smarter than Bush isn't he? I'm sure if we polled the 57 states he governs, there'd be consensus on that.

Choose another word other than "know" warchild.
These people watch Fox News and read right wing blogs. They don't "know" anything other than what they had for breakfast. They just feel and guess and... well, the rest is obvious.
This is a fact-free zone. That's why it's such a target-rich environment for us libbies. But don't quiz them on history or current events. If some other right wing blog hasn't told them what to think about a given subject they don't "know" what you're talking about.
Isn't Bush Jr the pres who racked up more vacation time than any other president in U.S. history? But right wingers never noticed -- they were too busy saluting and singing the national anthem every time a news agency showed a picture of Bush out on his ranch walking around on cow shit.
