Bachmann was also criticized for getting the Iwo Jima facts wrong back in February during her SOTU speech.

Bachmann playing off to her web camera instead of direct eye contact to the networks camera was a more minor WTF moment, as Sarah Palin might describe.

I seem to recall....

Obama: "I have now been in 57 states, [?] I think one one left to go...one left to go.. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to.. even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it"

Biden: "Stand up Chuck!..Oh God love ya, what am I talking about!! Stand up for Chuck!! Good to see ya buddy!!"

What matters is her prudent applications of government, in all 57 States.

Politicians are wise to have their stump speeches fact-checked before making them. (With the literacy level of the average public-schooled intern it still might go bad.)

However, New Hampshire, COLONY OF, was for many years a dependent of Massachusetts, but first to form an independent State government (Jan. 5, 1776) as temporary, to last only during the war; a permanent State government was not established until June 4, 1784.

Making her first trek to New Hampshire as a 2012 prospect, Bachmann told a GOP crowd in Manchester: “You’re the state where the shot was heard around the world at Lexington and Concord.”

The Revolutionary War began, not in New Hampshire’s capital, but in the famous two towns more than 50 miles away in Massachusetts.

Big deal. The sad fact of things is that 9 of 10 Americans would not recognize this as a mistake. There is only local impact on this gaff.

These asswipe morons at the politico are drooling Hussein cultists...because any fair, objective CHECK on the gaffe meter would show the Kenyan Communist knows less about some basic facts than Michele Bachmann on any given subject.

Naval Corpsemen, the effects of capital gains taxes, and the 3000% percent raise, are the first examples that come to mind of the verbal idiocy displayed by the man-child occupant of the top of the executive branch.

But the “journalists” at the politico obviously have their noses buried so far up Hussein’s backside, they can’t hear him speak.

I wonder who filled in little Jonathan and Kendra about Concord and Lexington. I doubt they even knew about those two towns until someone pointed out Michelle’s mistake to them.

While the facts are important, I really can't buy into the "Katic Couric" plan that presidential candidates be potential "Jeopardy" winners.

A leader should possess many things other than rote memorization of historic dates, times and places.

The most needed quality for a leader for America right now is courage. With countless advisors at hand, not to mention a tireless staff, any situation required historical accuracy can be researched at a moment's notice, just like obama's teleprompter writers do.

Governor Scott Walker is a perfect example of a leader - courage and integrity beyond reproach. Knowing the right thing, and doing...damn the torpedoes.

Fixing all of America's ills will be a be a gigantuan task; it will take a super hero just to undo obama's messes. But now that the left has had a taste of unbridled power, they are not going gently into that good night, we have a fight on our hands.

The upcoming battle is not for the faint of heart like Jimmy Carter, nor the appeasers, like John McCain. The left has a lot of good "intimidators"...who use terrorist-like scare tactics to weaken our resolve. They hope that fear will keep us from fighting, as they don't really want a fight. It's like the old schoolyard saying, "One is scared, and the other one is glad of it.".

Whichever candidate, or potential presidental candidate comes forward, the left if going to leash the Kracken on them with their favorite weapon, the politics of personal destruction. With their screwy policies and liberal/socialist ideology, it's the only thing they have...well, except cheating at the ballot box.

However, i disagree with the notion that our side must pass a pop quiz in history and adhere to Courics approved reading list to be a president - especially looking at what we have in office now.

Concord NH is kind of close to Lexington MA.

Not that close but... Whatnot, when you are talking to the retarded.

I have been on the Concord green many times. I can walk from my house to where a band of 200 men mustered and walked 16 miles to fight that day at Concord MA. Most of them never survived the war.

If you are living in a housing project in Manchester NH, any Concord may as well be on Mars... Just get out and vote in November. There are rides available for you too...

“had Palin simply said the nonsense Biden has voiced we would think she was lunatic and she should be gone from the race–and that disconnect reminds us again how the media sadly ignores the most unhinged things if only they come from the politically-correct.”

Imagine this: “If Sarah should say, as did Biden, that Americans once watched “President” FDR on TV in 1929 rally the public after the Great Panic—Sarah is history. Fact. End of story.” - Victor Davis Hanson

They’re going to Quayle-ize and Palin-ize and marginalize her. She’s got to be perfect or they’ll jump on every gaffe as proof of her right-wing stupidity.

Very sad.

There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I'm not coming home to Selma, Alabama. .....Barack Obama

Selma was in 1965 —
Obama was born in 1961

Besides the media double standard (everyone gets details wrong), we should keep in mind that Michele may have had the right Concord in mind and not paid attention to the fact that she was in the wrong one. I’ve been on the road, and it’s not easy to remember where you are.

Uhgg.. The snobbery in this article is so offensive. None more than the comment “She makes Sarah Palin look like Count Metternich” from a so-called GOP consultant Mike Murphy.

I hope someone does a piece on Mike Murphy. I want to know who exactly consults him. It would help reveal more of the left-leaning, big-government, old-guard appeasers and compromisers in the GOP. (James O’Keefe, are you available?) These guys see the writing on the wall. They know they are dinosaurs about to eat their last meals and they are lashing out at those who represent the common man of the United States.

Bachmann is loved and admired precisely because she is not a card-carrying member of the elitist Washington clique of snobs. She is uncompromisingly conservative, she is a God-fearing family woman, she is a brilliant, hard-working, and accomplished lady, she is a fearless leader and exudes confidence, and she is drop-dead gorgeous. The same could be said about Sarah Palin. The opposites could be said about the old-guard GOP who have been too quick, too often to surrender their positions and vote with the big government socialists.

Forgive her. Several generations of us have been brought up on falsified history. I’m just now correcting that for myself.

She was just complimenting the people of New Hampshire on their tremendous sense of hearing. She didn’t say the shot was fired in New Hampshire, she said they heard it there. Those New Hampshireinians have many abilities.
