“If Obama does not know where these ports are, how can he deepen them?”
You can fill the universe with what “O” does NOT know. His lack of basic education is apparent in everything he says and is not limited to a weakness in the understanding of geography.
If you cannot READ and/or have NEVER understood what is WORTH reading.... (not EVEN basics-as this author suggests) then your lack of understanding is character-wide and profound.
EVERYTHING in your character/personality is stunted and deformed by this lack of mature understanding, functional knowledge and basic perspective.
If you are a person who was permitted to slide-by throughout your entire educational career, with only a cursory exposure to basics, it’s the same as building a house on sand. Every where and at all times, the building lacks structural integrity.
“O” continually gives himself away on this. His ‘education’ was exceedingly compromised and whole swaths of basic and fundamental information were ignored.
It shows.
He is very like all the young people I know who are smart–mouthed but not smart.
What's even worse is that he doesn't know that he doesn't know, and there is absolutely no on in his inner circle who will tell him other-wise. Any one outside the circle that points out a mistake is simply and can be ignored, because their view point is biased.
