4. Obama ... explained why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” Obama’s home state of Illinois, and not Arkansas, shares a border with Kentucky.

Umm, I think the editors got confused here. The Wuss was explaining why Hillary Clinton did better in Kentucky because she's 'from' Arkansas right next door. They could have substituted this with his REAL stupid statement about CORPSE-men.

But Arkansas is not ‘right next door’ to Kentucky — Illinois is.

That is the point the writer was making.
