"What it says is that I'm not very well known in that part of the country," Obama said. "Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it's not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle."

OBAMA CLUELESS ALERT!!

Obama DOES NOT KNOW that Illinois is closer to Kentucky than is Arkansas!!!!! Illinois shares a stretch of BORDER, with Kentucky, they are neighboring states!! Obama obviously does not even know this!

This guy wants to be POTUS and doesn’t even know that Kentucky shares a BORDER with his own state of Illinois!! If we had an unbiased media this guy would get the Dan Quayle treatment right now - this is ridiculous.

ROLMAO! This is a hilarious howler..... Obambi shows yet again that he is geographically challenged in his own country!!!! Chicago is CLOSER to almost anyplace in Kentucky than is Little Rock, AR...... and Illinois shares a border with KY. Only the sparsely populated SW tip of Kentucky is close to AR, but the vast majority of KY's population is closer to Illinois - yet Obama whines that he is unknown there b/c Arkansas is closer. HUH??

Little Rock, AR to Lexington, KY = 560 miles

Chicago, IL to Lexington, KY = 376 miles


I guess while Obambi was busy visiting "57 states" Kentucky was the one he missed before deciding he couldn't get to Hawaii or Alaska........ what a clown.

He imagines that Shrillary was much closer to KY while in Little Rock when in fact he is about 200 miles closer in Chicago. Maybe he doesn’t know that Kentucky is one of the “57 states”..... or was it 58, or 60????

Good heavens, I knew more geography than this guy when I was 5 years old!

This is Obama’s biggest howler yet, b/c he doesn’t even know that Kentucky and Illinois share a border!! And that most of Kentucky is much closer to Chicago than to Little Rock...... and that if you regard him as the Senator of the STATE of Illinois (which he is) and not merely the Senator from Chicago, then he was closer to ALL of Kentucky than Shrillary was from AR.

Obama is not merely tired, he is seriously geographically challenged, in a scary way, completely ignorant of a state that borders his own state. This is like a Senator from PA thinking that Arkansas is closer to West Virginia than WV is to PA..... (not an exact analogy, but gives the rough idea).

This man is IGNORANT and CARELESS. You would think that anyone running for POTUS would examine a map of the country. You’d think that a US Senator from Illinois would know what the neighboring states are!!!

I wish this could have come out in the fall after Hillary was out of the picture, but still, this is dynamite. This guy does not know his own country and region, not even moderately well.

LOL. Good catch, Enchante.

You’d think that a US Senator from Illinois would know what the neighboring states are!!!

When you have 57, 58...60 states to keep up with, it's hard for any presidential candidate, dontchasee? We need an Obama doll that says, "Geography is Hard!" when you pull his string.
