White House fails basic geography test

Looks like someone in the White House press office needs to brush up on their U.S. geography.

The press office issued credentials to those reporters and photojournalists who are covering the president’s trip this week to Washington state, California, and Colorado. The credential even provides a handy graphic highlighting (in white) which states the president will visit.

The only problem?

Wyoming is highlighted, not Colorado.

To be fair, both states are square

CNN fails basic geometry.

It’s just one of those flyover states. The people there are hicks and rubes and just don’t matter...

If you say that two people of the same race look the same you are racist.

So if the white house thinks that two states look the same so much they are indistingishable and confuses them, does that mean they are all “Statists”?

Did the “Intercontinental Railroad” pass through Colorado on its way to Asia (or Europe, or wherever it went?)

Who cares? Those weird shaped states all look alike anyway.

Two years ago I would have been a bit surprised. Now I expect it.

0bama and his entire team are the most tone deaf ignorant bunch of whining malcontents to ever occupy the WH.

That's because some of them are not on the intercontinental railroad.

They got confused... CO and WY are mismarked on the White House's 57 state map of the USA.

Isn't that the railroad Abraham Lincoln built in the middle of the War of Northern Aggression?

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