I agree. And on top of it, the speech would have passed through about 20 hands minimum before she delivered it in Copenhagen. Not one thought to double check when these athletes competed? Pretty basic stuff. Normal, honest people do fact checking to make sure their memories are accurate....because normal people think the truth matters. When making up a story, you'd check the facts just to cover your rear. They're not just liars, but incompetents as well.
And thanks for the hat tip at #31. The people who think the incident is minor or nitpicky either do not understand the critical nature of character in government, or they don't care. This is enormously instructive info about this administration, and absolutely salient to issues far graver than the Olympics.

I believe they wrote it on purpose, left it in the speech on purpose, because they knew it would sound good and they’d never get called on it. Just like the Clintons. The only reason Hillary got called out on her “flying in under hostile fire” comment was because the State Run Media had already decided Obama was their man.
