New gaffe: Obama hails America's historic building of 'the Intercontinental Railroad'

"We’re the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad," Barack Obama.
That's what the president of the United States flat-out said Thursday during what was supposed to be a photo op to sell his jobs plan next to an allegedly deteriorating highway bridge.
A railroad between continents? A railroad from, say, New York City all the way across the Atlantic to France? Now, THAT would be a bridge!
It's yet another humorous gaffe by the Harvard graduate, overlooked by most media for whatever reason. Like Obama saying Abraham-Come-Lately Lincoln was the founder of the Republican Party. Or Navy corpseman. Or the Austrian language. Fifty-seven states. The president of Canada. Etc.
If you talk as much as this guy likes to talk instead of governing, if you believe you are a Real Good Talker as much as this guy does, you're gonna blow a few lines. But this many?
No doubt, we'll see a collection of Obama's Best Bombs on 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend, one right after the other. No doubt.

He also said yesterday that Warren Buffet’s secretary shouldn’t have to pay a lower tax rate than Buffet.

2+ syllables, if it isn't "reparations," or "betrayal," or "Anglo-Saxon" or some such, probably can't be put into TOTUS.

Anyway, what's he proposing, reparation to the Chinese?

It’s yet another humorous gaffe by the Harvard graduate,
He is sait to be “brilliant”. Does anyone have his grades from Harvard? I don’t find him brilliant at all - devious, angry, anti American, and a liar but never brilliant.
