That is another somewhat common fallacy that the President is too stupid to know isn’t true.
When Columbus started his journey, most everybody believed the earth was round.
But in fact, they knew about how big it was. What they didn’t know was that the Americas existed. Columbus was trying to sail to Asia.
But most people knew the circumference of the earth, and knew Columbus didn’t have the provisions to make it to Asia. Columbus thought they were wrong, and that the earth was about half the size it really is.
But he got lucky, and ran into a large land mass. He thought it was Asia, and it took a while to figure out he was wrong about that.
The Sumerians back in 4500BC knew the earth was round and that their gods came from another planet. Knowledge has regressed since that ancient civilization. Obama is the epitome of man reverting back to his former state.
Excellent post.
