It was an ABSURD gotcha question.. I doubt obummer knows.
Carson not knowing the Fed Reserve chairman, that was pretty bad
LOL. He should stick to fighting Rosie O’Donnell. He isn’t up to dealing with Hamas or Hezbollah. He’s at the Kardashian/Miley Cyrus level. He should go back to filming Apprentice: Presidential Edition and leave the grownup business to grownups.
I’m betting Trump’s Sec.of State John Bolton knows all the bad characters inside and out but like Trump said a load of these guys will be dead by the time the next President gets in
Let’s see who in government knows the answer to Hugh’s question and then let’s find out how well this knowledge of who’s who has resulted in effective USA action against Hamas and Hezbollah.
Only a couple of months onto running I doubt most all except Cruz would not be up to speed on these issues.
I come here every day and couldn’t tell you the names of the terrorist leaders in the Middle East.
I read about organizations and what they are deemed to be up to, but it just doesn’t interest me who the individual players are.
If I was going to be in a position to take positive action against them, I would study up on them. I’d know in short order.
Hewitt’s question was evidence of ignorance on his part, not Trump.
I would be surprised if any of the candidates could rattle off more than one or two payers these days. Does that make them less presidential?
Does knowing all the major players make them more presidential? I’m not convinced of that.
The national security team is who needs to know. They will keep the president up to speed, them and the CIA briefings.
Good managers down get into the little details;
they hire other people to do that.
I don't know, they all sounds (and look) the same to me.
Just because he didn’t know the names the leaders doesn’t mean he doesn’t know which group is which. I do, and I don’t bother to learn the names of various Mohammeds who run them.
all IslamoNazi murder gangs are essentially similar
asking any candidate to cogently differentiate between them
is like asking O for his real birth certificate
you can’t REALLY expect a positive response
Einstein didn’t know his own phone number. When asked why, he said, “Never memorize something that you can look up.”

One is funded by the Democrats through the UN, the other if funded by the Democrats through Iran.
The Difference Between Hamas And Hezbollah
The Smell..
Hugh Hewitt thinks it is important for the presidential candidates to know the names of the leaders of all the separate terrorist groups? This is not 8th grade history, is it? Should candidates be tested on the capitols of all the countries of the world?
Questions of this sort generally meant as "gotchas" when applied to political candidates. Not that I'm a fan of Donald Trump, because I'm not.
One thing I will say for Trump, he’ll tell you what he wants to do as president. Slick Willie’s bimbo is telling everyone that they’ll have to elect her and her empty skull to find out what’s in it.
The same gotcha quiz thing was done to W if everyone will remember. The media is horrible.
Here's some good advice for smart freepers...
As long as he knows they aren’t the JV, he’s doing better than the idiot we have now.
