Michele Bachmann continued her 2012 presidential flirtation today with what is quickly being called the “gaffe her ’round the Internet.” Speaking at a Manchester, New Hampshire event sponsored by the Republican Liberty Caucus, the Tea Party favorite tried to establish a rapport with her audience and with the Granite State generally over a common love of freedom. “You’re the state where the shot was heard ’round the world at Lexington and Concord,” Bachmann told the crowd. (WMUR has the video.) Of course Lexington and Concorde are about an hour’s drive south of Manchester … in Massachusetts. It’s probably not the best way to introduce oneself to the famously flinty New Hampshire-ites who are enormously self-serious about their role in the presidential nomination process.

Oh my, she insinuated they were 'flatlanders,' a huge gaff in the montain states of New England. She'll probably try to gain rapport with people in Boston by complimenting how well the Yankees will do this coming year.
Then you have the anti American president from Kenya. He doesn't even know how many states there are. Here watch the moron form Kenya.
He and you are both wrong. We essentially have 64.

Speaking of morons, Stone, what do you call someone who thinks Obama was born in Kenya?

Yep, and when Clinton was President he worked hard to memorized the intro to a speech in Spanish that he gave in Brazil.
