Does Obama Know the Difference between Great Britain and England?

In a press conference this evening, the president referred in stumbling fashion to the “English Embassy” in Iran instead of the British Embassy. One can only imagine the kind of howls of derision that would greet any presidential contender if that kind of basic error were made before, say, the editorial board of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. You can watch the video above. In case the president is unaware, England forms part of Great Britain, which also includes Scotland and Wales, though not Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. There is no such thing as an “English” embassy anywhere in the world, and there hasn’t been one for several centuries.

Idiot, everything Western is Interchangable to him.

One would think he would know this, since he was born a British Citizen

I'd Bet he Doesn't even know that English has Roots in Austrian.

There’s the UK, Great Britain, England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Let’s see if Obama can figure them all out.

He doesn’t even know who his daddy was, how old he is or where he was born.

The short answer— “No.” And somehow every nudnik in the Chattering Classes doesn’t realize that Obama is not that bright.

Love these lines from Doctor Who in the episode “Voyage Of The Damned.”

Somewhere in an open space in London the TARDIS is waiting. The DOCTOR and MR COPPER walk across in what appears to be falling snow.

COPPER:
So, Great Britain is part of, uh, “Europee” and just across the British Channel you’ve got Great France and Great Germany.

DOCTOR:
No, no, it’s just-it’s just France and Germany. Only Britain is great.

Well, as when Bus alluded to “Grecian” instead of “Greek”.

All things Anglo-Saxon are foreign to him; and not meaningful in his distorted worldview.

We who civilized the world are the oppressors.

Freedom, hence, is a concept which escapes him.

As if world-wide, scorn and derision is not sufficient; Obama invites more. All justifiable; of course.

Do you think NOW; that someone in MSM might be curious as to Obama's 'educational credentials'?

When does Harvard, make a disclaimer?

Is Obama's ignorance as much a threat to our nations well-being; as say. . .an overweight twelve year-old? Per Government recommendation's per 'fat pre-teen'; think it is time for Obama to be removed from HIS living quarters. . .and far more critical that we insure that he is.

Obama sickens me. Now, that said, from an American point of view, there’s no big difference. If you share a military, then it’s all the same. There’s no Welsh Air Force or Navy of Scotland as far as i know, and they all bow to the same “Royals”.

This reminds me of dolts who foam at the mouth when someone calls us “America” because south and central American are “America” too.
So British, England, UK, etc,, everyone knows what you mean by any of em.

PS,,did i mention that Obama sucks?

"He doesn’t even know who his daddy was, how old he is or where he was born.

And we don't know how old he was WHEN he was born.
