Even the White House press office isn't immune from making geography gaffes.
Per CNN's Mark Walz, the credentials given to members of the press corps traveling with President Obama on his campaign swing out west this week included a map that mistakenly identified Wyoming as Colorado.
The two rectangular states do look similar on the map, but it's a pretty embarrassing error, especially considering how important Colorado might be to President Obama's re-election chances next year.

It’s hard to remember where all those 57 states are.

I’m not too broken up about this. I’VE done that before. In front of people. Embarrassing.
Especially since there is SO much more to bring down on Barry the Boob’s head.

From 35,000 feet, who can tell the difference?
To: Oldeconomybuyer
At least Yahoo (unlike CNN) knows that on a map they’re rectangular not square.

Cut them some slack. After all, it is all just part of fly-over country on the way to those campaign fund raisers in CA.

Do these people ever double check or even Bing/Google , Oh wait,they are way tooo smart for that ,I remember all those months of telling everyone how smart Obama was, that should have been double checked LOL
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Hey Obama, here is a clue. If going into the city involves interstate travel, you may be in Wyoming. If people move there because Alaska was getting too crowded, you may be in Wyoming.

Zero, try to frame it in a way even you can understand it. Colorado = Buffaloes. Wyoming = Cowboys. Penn State = Nittany Lions. Your administration = Dildos.

Even the White House press office isn't immune from making geography gaffes. What? When do these clowns get anything right? From top to bottom the White House is populated by fools, an Administration of morons. This is just one of the quotidian gaffes du jour from these nitwits.

When I was 6 years old I could identify every state by its shape and name its capital.

Wyoming has more oil refineries and fewer stinking hippies than Colorado. More cowboys and fewer milk cows. Bigger ranches and fewer farms. More sheep which get raised for wool and meat and fewer which get raised to pull the Democrat lever.
Hard to tell from 35,000 feet up, but it is still possible by looking for clues such as large cities (or lack thereof) and circle shaped greenery created by irrigation pipe.
