Why does Obama know so little about the United States?
First he thought there were over 57 states, Now he can't tell St. Louis from Kansas City.
What gives?

I saw that too.
His daughter asked "Daddy, what city are you in" he said without actualizing the double meaning of that there are more "Kansas City's".
I also thought Kansas City, Kansas. I forgot about Kansas City, Missouri and others.
So it was a double sort of a meaning.

Why does mccain know so little about the world....this is the short list, there are far more: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said “Iraq” on Monday when he apparently meant “Afghanistan”, adding to a string of mixed-up word choices that is giving ammunition to the opposition.
Just in the past three weeks, McCain has also mistaken "Somalia" for "Sudan," and even football’s Green Bay Packers for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Ironically, the errors have been concentrated in what should be his area of expertise: foreign affairs.

Those were gaffes from being exhausted on the campaign trail. McCain has his own.
But here's something we can't explain with exhaustion...
“McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent
years. The pastor McCain calls his ‘spiritual guide,’ Rod Parsley, believes America’s founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a ‘false religion.’ McCain sought the political support of right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God’s punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church ‘the Antichrist’ and a ‘false cult.’”

Apparently he wasn't a very good student. Guess he had no interest in history either. Seems he doesn't know anything about the history of WWII....even though his great-uncle served in Europe. This is concerning because "those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it." That is not what you want in a president.
