She's a Tea Party spokesperson. She can't come across as someone who doesn't respect the intellect of local voters enough to get 3rd grade history correct on a topic she herself chose to present...[and all]
Agree 100% "longjack"..and we all write that the other side says "this" and "that"..but I must admit is no excuse.
Fox News [by hiring] and other media outlets have overexposed [for media ratings] our best possibles.. they,therefore, become political celebrities/actors and are not taken seriously anymore.

So we are left without a Republican leader, not that I thought Bachmann stood any kind of a chance as President. But, I am disappointed.

...maybe there is no one out there with presidential leadership material, the "right stuff and IT factor".. and we go as a popular comment always made- "the worst of all evils".

Thanks for the support.

I like and respect Bachmann and think that, as ditsy as this statement is, people will understand she under the stress of a campaign and just screwed up.

I hope she learns a lesson and hires local proof readers. It just surprises me that some people want to try to pass this statement off as being correct in some esoteric way.

I grew up in New England and this stuff is baseball & apple pie level US history there.

It was a major gaffe.
