Does Obama Know the Difference between Great Britain and England?It is gratifying to see President Barack Obama condemn the disgraceful storming of the British Embassy in Tehran by thugs acting at the behest of the Iranian regime. After all, Obama has been notoriously slow in the past to criticise the brutal actions of the Iranian government after initially extending the hand of friendship to it. But did he really need to make another embarrassing foreign policy gaffe while doing so?
In a press conference this evening, the president referred in stumbling fashion to the English Embassy in Iran instead of the British Embassy. One can only imagine the kind of howls of derision that would greet any presidential contender if that kind of basic error were made before, say, the editorial board of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. You can watch the video above.
In case the president is unaware, England forms part of Great Britain, which also includes Scotland and Wales, though not Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. There is no such thing as an English embassy anywhere in the world, and there hasnt been one for several centuries.
He IS the president of the US dealing (we should hope) with foreign affairs. Britian is our strongest ally ( or, was).
One would think he would know the difference between Britian and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Obama thinks we have 57 states. Do you think he will know the difference in England and Great Britain LOL

I mean, doesn't he have advisors that teach him some geography?
I'm no fan of Obama, but really, this is nit picking.
I would not be surprised if England.....I mean the British.....I mean the United Kingdom declared war on us

Not that I nit pick like the OP did here... BUT... I do find it weird that ones like wrongwinger slightly are complaining or defending, but had no problems doing it when the shoe was on the other foot
This is Big.........I mean BIG
We need more threads on this
its only big if a republican makes this kind of glaring exhibition of ignorance.
