57 states, Philippines is a small country, often not knowing what city he was in on the campaign trail, the list keeps expanding. This bozo is as geographically challenged as they come. And the media keeps covering for him.

I shake my head.

My sister-in-law is Filipina and my brother was married in the Philippines.FANTASTIC COUNTRY. Everything is dirt cheap with the ridiculous US dollar exchange rate. My brother went back there for business and he saw Dark Knight on Imax for $3. Went to Cebu for another buss. meeting and surfed from dusk til dawn the next day.

I might just retire there/ Buy a condo in Makati, party and drink Ginebra San Miguel til I drop.

My in laws are Filipinos and yes, Pacquiao is the king. Believe it or not, I live 5 minutes away from Freddy Roach’s Hollywood Gym here in Hollywood and whenever I pass by there before one Manny’s fights, the entire intersection is clogged with cars heading to that really small strip just to see pacquiao train. Unreal.

“He and his staff don’t believe they need to do any background research before “opining” on any subject.”

Hmm...that fits to most of the users here, too :o)

Yes, Obama will apologize for the evils of US history, if he knows we fought a dirty Vietnam-like war in the Philippines at the beginning of the twentieth century. Considering the historical errors he has made already, I wonder if he even knows the Philippines used to be part of the US.

On the other hand, I don’t picture him “bowing and scraping” before a woman president.

I guess you can’t see the Philippines from Indonesia. If you could, he’d have known how big it is.

I’ll bet Sarah Palin would never have said such a stupid thing about Russia.

Gee, I really expect to see this lampooned in an SNL skit.

With that sort of strategic acumen I’m glad you weren’t calling the shots in WWII.

Yeah, 0bie — just like Iran is a tiny country that’s no threat to U.S. interests.

Resign, idiot.

They are also a population of devout Christians. Obama can’t stand it.

There are muslims in the Philippines and they occasionally commit acts of terror over there.
