Obama Gaffe, Says Lincoln Built the "Intercontinental Railroad"??

[abola2121]

Lincoln was also a vampire hunter. True story.

[pennyf9]

what an asshole, its called the Transcontinental railroad, not the intercontinental railroad, where did he go to school?

[Menyhard1]

It's ok for the left to make fun of te right,but how does it feel wen the shoe is on the other side mmm

[Yabuturtle]

The intercontinental railroad was built by Lincoln so it could go across all 57 states and it was built around the time the Constitution was written more than 20 centuries ago.

[tenhirankei]

The railroads that Lincoln had built during the Civil War crisscrossed Union states in an effort to move troops and supplies where they were needed quickly. The Intercontinental railroad was more of a commercial venture linking the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

[publiusforum]

@tenhirankei Wrong. There is no such thing as an "intercontinental railroad." That is the point of this video. Besides, something that links two coasts is TRANScontinental, not inter. "Inter" means between continents!

[tenhirankei]

@publiusforum Maybe whoever put the speech together used web search to get their information, that is what I did to look it up. You can find it in a web search, but they will correct it as "transcontinental". I guess the speechwriter did not notice the correction. Or did Obama use his Blackberry to look it up and missed the correction?

[dlsofsetx]

Obama took history in a class taught by Al Gore.Remember some of his history?He claimed Lincoln was elected in 1960,James Knox was a President from Tennessee(Knox was his middle name,Polk was his last name.)He also claimed "E Pluribus Unum" means "out of one,many."

[tenhirankei]

@dlsofsetx He got his Latin backwards. Distranslengua?

[dlsofsetx]

@tenhirankei Ironic how Republicans make errors much less absurd & get raked over the coals.

[bluegsp]

Which continents does this railroad run between and why have I never heard of this "intercontinental" railroad?

[nytmstr]

And they say Bush was stupid! If this fucking communist doesnt have a tel-a-promter he cant speak either.

[eog0314]

@nytmstr

HAHAHA

[ladylordess]

And they call Bachmann and Palin stupid?

[drcoolfinger]

And this Idiot went to college? No surprise though, look at the other fool he chose as VP

[christopherxkelly]

Stupid teleprompter

[mocatz187]

Can anyone say Dan Quail the 2cnd. LOL.

This Obama guy is no Bill Clinton.

[jensen220]

I don't know about the rest of you, but personally I'm glad Obama brought this up. Many is the time I've thought if only I save up my money, I could be lucky enough to take a train to Africa or Europe.

[rodrigozuniga45]

...and it was built by corpsemen...

[abola2121]

@rodrigozuniga45 from all 57 states.

[medlock01]

A "Corpseman" told him about this after he got his "5000%" savings on his health insurance. Of course the insurance companies "Profit-to-Earnings" ratio was a little off because of that.

[jason101other]

what an idiot. amazing how all his gaffes go ignored by the media.

[PInk77W1]

never ran a candy shop. But he can run the USA

[samspinchat]

It's the teleprompter's fault!

[SCOOPNJ78]

and the loons at MS-LSD network gang up on Republicans that make gaffs LOL

What about the 57 states, this guy is such a joke, he even makes Jimmy Carter look good

[anangbhai]

He makes gaffes. He's the gaffe-meister. 

[Subsinkr]

@Dave, Palin is smart and pretty! 'o'blahma is stupid and fuggin' ugly!

[johnnycmajor]

Lets start our battle and impeach this puppet O B O M B M A , leave the White House O B O M B M A, just GTFO don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Vote Ron Paul, then hang most of the Federal reserve crooks. Put the IRS puppets in jail that are aware of what they are doing. Above all start with Obama he creeps me out.

[Weasler455]

The miracle of Affirmative Action!

[RobtKraft]

He did it again in Cinncinnati 9/22. He even thought about it for a second yet said Intercontinetal RR. It's in the transcript and I watched a video.

[MsCurwin]

Intercontinental vs Transcontinental. If that's the most the Obama haters can throw at him then I'd say his chances for re-election are pretty good. By the way the word "mis-underestimated" has got to be the biggest embarrassment for a world leader ever. Not to mention saying that you can see the USSR from Anchorage.

[Weasler455]

@MsCurwin LOL! Obama's chances of being reelected are about as good as Michelle squeezing her super fat but into Kate Moss's tight jeans. Even the schvartzes are starting to catch onto Obama now.

[IrenicIronist]

@MsCurwin Palin never said she could see the USSR from Anchorage. What's her face on Saturday Night Live said it while impersonating Palin. Obama, by his own definition, is unpatriotic by the way. Don't you remember when Obama said that Bush's spending of 4 trillion dollars over 8 years was unpatriotic? Obama did it in just 2 years. Maybe Obama meant it was unpatriotic to take so long to blow $4,000,000,000,000.

[ChimpBama]

We all know this DicKHole (SCoaMF) just repeats the Teleprompter words.

He is gifted and got a Nobel Peace Prize for Outstanding Teleprompter Oratory Skills. Some claim affirmative action was involved, I do not.

This is actually the TOTUS fault, and I find it offensive & racist that it allows our Idiot In Chief to spew this crap.

[mattyohe]

This sort of "gaffe" can be found of any president. Anyone assuming that Obama doesn't know what the transcontinental railroad is is a buffoon.

He even used the words "transcontinental railroad" twice in his budget message this year.

[madest]

Really? That's all you got? lol

[XiaoFury]

You know...as the president that he is, shouldn't he like....KNOW his American history? Oh, wait. He's a fraud of an American to begin with. PLEASE let this be his final year as president.

[KCUAC]

asshole

[FISTRIG]

HE IS NOT A REAL AMERICAN. HE IS ANTI-AMERICAN AND UNAMERICAN, A PRETENDER, AN IDIOT,A FAKE,A PHONY,A FLAKE,A FLOP, AN AMATEUR WHO HAS LEARNED NOTHING ON THE JOB IN THE LAST 2-1/2 YEARS. HE IS NOT NOT NOT CULTURALLY AN AMERICAN. HE IS SOMETHING ELSE CULTURALLY, HAWAIIAN OR KENYAN OR INDONESIAN, BUT NOT NOT NOT A REAL AMERICAN. HE IS A FOREIGN NATIONAL IF NOT AN ILLEGAL ALIEN. ONLY IDIOTS LISTEN TO HIM OR HAVE VOTED FOR HIM. HE IS A SILLY ASS OF A PRETEND MAN. HE IS VERY VERY QUEER

[KetsugoJohn]

Why is Obama given a pass for being an idiot regarding U.S. History when Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann are raked over the coals for EXACTLY the same thing? Can you say *liberal media*? :(

[jukinj3]

This is just another example of the sooooper smartyness of the smarterest president in the history of the universe.

[AriesLudzik]

What a moron ! Total dunce. This is what happens when you put a freakin' community organizer at the helm -- complete and utter incompetence.

[Nachtjager]

negro puto estúpido

[joeasmythe]

How much lower can we sink, this moron has tp be a one-termer.

[dijhili]

I wonder if it spanned all 57 states!

[themaclady]

This man is a criminal... worse yet.

[daveh69]

Palin has more smarts than this moron. and chris mathews says he is the smartest person in the room. Would hate to see the dumbest

[greenyeyes77]

Every time he talks it makes me cringe

[Raycheetah]

Mr. Malaprop rides again. =^[.]^=

[BeantownJim]

FOOOOOUUUUURRRRRRRRRR"swings club"

[Pighood]

The Aleuts are coming! The Aleuts are coming!
