he said in response to an Austrian reporter’s question.

Well....

I think that I'd have said something along the same lines.

But then again, it ain't my job to know that sort of thing. If I was a diplomat, I'd parse my phrases a bit better.

However, the point is a good one. Press would be all over W for a "mistake" such as this.

Obama is a joke.

One might say "an off-colored joke".

Wonder if he gave a gift to their Head of State also? If so, it was probably a dozen Austrian crystals.

And Africa is a country.

I assume you're referring to the Palin rumor. You may not realize that no actual person has been willing to go on the record about that. The "Martin Eisenstadt" who was named as a source for this rumor is the figment of a hoaxer's imagination.

I have seen no hard evidence whatsoever that Obama is more intelligent than Gov. Palin. Perhaps if he released his college records to squash the rumor that he is an affirmative action case whose only talents are reading from a Teleprompter and mau-mauing white liberals. . .

He should take a quick course in Latin in case he visits Latin America.

Now the TOTUS gave the Queen an Ipod with sound tracks from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals. A really big one, the Sound of Music should have been included. Now has Obama never seen the movie? Where does it take place and what language do they refer to? My 4 year old granddaughter knows where TSOM takes place and knows what language Austrians speak. Rent the DVD whenever you get back Mr. O you will learn a lot!

George Bush would NEVER have made this mistake. However, in Obama’s defense, he would never have said that they speak Kenyan in Nairobi, and Bush might have.

"And Africa is a country."

Trolling is what you do, laying these little short digs against conservatives. You wouldn't respond to anyone on this thread but you instead freepmailed me that discredited Cameron statement of unnamed sources saying she thought Africa was a country.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic Dan Mirvish, who with Eitan Gorlin created an elaborate Internet hoax complete with a fake policy institute and a phony adviser to Senator John McCain.

Trouble is, Martin Eisenstadt doesn’t exist. His blog does, but it’s a put-on. The think tank where he is a senior fellow — the Harding Institute for Freedom and Democracy — is just a Web site. The TV clips of him on YouTube are fakes.

And the claim of credit for the Africa anecdote is just the latest ruse by Eisenstadt, who turns out to be a very elaborate hoax that has been going on for months. MSNBC, which quickly corrected the mistake, has plenty of company in being taken in by an Eisenstadt hoax, including The New Republic and The Los Angeles Times.

Last month Eisenstadt blogged that Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, Joe the Plumber, was closely related to Charles Keating, the disgraced former savings and loan chief. It wasn’t true, but other bloggers ran with it.

Among those taken in by Monday’s confession about the Palin Africa report was The New Republic’s political blog. Later the magazine posted this atop the entry: “Oy — this would appear to be a hoax. Apologies.”

Posting a lie and not responding to anyone is troll behavior, you aren’t discussing anything.

Your posting history consists largely of zingers against conservatives, in this case Governor Palin.

A look at your posting history reveals a troll that is always tip toeing around this conservative site with his little troll nips, never really digging in or taking a stand but instead just nipping and running to the next little trolling mission.
