The president looked at the phone and said "how wonderful"

This article refutes the White House vacationer's claim that Rutherford B Hayes made a ridiculous statement like, It's a great invention(the telephone) but what would we do with it. As usual he got all the facts out of his soon to be kicked ass.

[skeeter]

It wasn't the right metaphor anyway. Its as if someone was proposing to replace everyone’s telephone with smoke signals and a tribe of indians to send them.

0bama is doing his Pinocchio imitation.

Nothing but lies from the wooden marionette.

Let’s be real, Obama has no idea who Rutherford Hayes is except his incompetent staff put this story together for his little speech. It’s another Obama “corpse-man” moment.

Two points:

1.) This article from New York Magazine proves that 0bama is just as ignorant of history as he is incompetent, unworthy and unqualified to be sitting in the Oval Office.

2.) At least President Rutherford B. Hayes was an AMERICAN, not some foul arrogant wannabe despot from the African subcontinent.

I also posted and referenced this same article here

I listed some of the reader’s comments, in the New York Times nonetheless, which were hilarious. You got to read them.

When residents of NYC are mocking Obama, his days as president are numbered.

Are you sure his staff is incompetent, and not amusing themselves by playing “What can we get him to say?”
