New gaffe: Obama hails America's historic building of 'the Intercontinental Railroad'

"We’re the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad," Barack Obama.

That's what the president of the United States flat-out said Thursday during what was supposed to be a photo op to sell his jobs plan next to an allegedly deteriorating highway bridge.

A railroad between continents? A railroad from, say, New York City all the way across the Atlantic to France? Now, THAT would be a bridge!

It's yet another humorous gaffe by the Harvard graduate, overlooked by most media for whatever reason. Like Obama saying Abraham-Come-Lately Lincoln was the founder of the Republican Party. Or Navy corpseman. Or the Austrian language. Fifty-seven states. The president of Canada. Etc.

If you talk as much as this guy likes to talk instead of governing, if you believe you are a Real Good Talker as much as this guy does, you're gonna blow a few lines. But this many?

No doubt, we'll see a collection of Obama's Best Bombs on 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend, one right after the other. No doubt.

I’m so glad, I hate to fly and would love to go to Rome.

The intercontinental railroad connects all 57 states, some of which are the size of small continents in Obama’s lame excuse for a brain.

We’re also the country that built the Jupiter 2. And if it wasn’t for Dr. Smith (R), we would all be living in the Alpha Centauri system while our planet healed itself.

That must be the railroad that connects the lower 48 with the others to make up the 57.

Those extra states must be on the continent of MU, because they aren't on the continents of North or South America -- thus intercontinental.

“We’re the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad”

To be fair, that depends by what he means by “we”. I think the Trans-Siberian would qualify.

I detest the , uh, whatever he is. Do have to admit though that he has been brilliant- destroying our economy and our Nation, he has caused the most division amongst parties and races that I have ever experienced. He did set out and proclaimed that he would, *fundamentally change America* in that regard ,he has proven to be quite brilliant. Also pretty good at hiding his whole life record. We have no idea who or what he is! ~Brilliant traitor, dictator,and socialist creep~

That’s an unenviable position.

Frankly, I’m ignorant on papers like the LA Times, because I don’t want to give their websites any hits.

Ain't it the truth!!

ANYTHING anyone claims about “O’s” intellectual capacity has to be regarded as a howling lie until or unless his actual academic record is verified.

I am still in shock that the MSM thought this was an incidental detail about “O’s” background WHILE calling Bush (and ALL “O’s” opposition) ‘stupid’, etc. REALLY????

There went your credibility, MSM

I’d love to give the anointed one a vocabulary test.

Obama is a walking example of people being advanced throughout life with no basis of intellect or knowledge.
