Obama Refers To Georgia As “Russia” During Country’s 20th Anniversary of Independence From Soviet Rule…
If this was Bush the media would mock him relentlessly, since it’s Obama, barely a peep.
Via Washington Examiner:
President Obama mistakenly referred to the nation of Georgia as “Russia” after a bilateral meeting with the Georgian president — an unfortunate slip-up, given that the president was celebrating 20 years of Georgian independence from Soviet rule.
“[O]ne of the first things that I did was express my appreciation for the institution-building that’s been taking place in Russia — in Georgia,” Obama told reporters following a meeting with Georgia’s President Saakashvili. Moments earlier, Obama had noted that it was “a wonderful occasion to have him here as we’ll be celebrating this year 20 years of independence for Georgia and the eighth anniversary of the Rose Revolution.”
Georgia was conquered in 1921 when the Soviet Red Army invaded the country. Three years ago, Russia invaded Georgia as part of a territorial dispute that has simmered since Georgia regained independence after the Communist empire collapsed in 1991.

At least he did not say it was one of the 57 states…
Did the dumbshit reference the Braves season-ending collapse that let the Cardinals in the postseason, or the Falcons losing in round 1 of the NFL playoffs?
Someone should ask him if he recalls when Russia burned Atlanta a few years back – you know, the Atlanta that lies in Russ…I mean Georgia…….he’d probably say yes.
Did he mention anything about peach trees?
MSM
Muslin Socialist Moron
He did mention he loves Atlanta’s new airport.
Assploding hypocricy at its highest level.
Most smartest president evah! /sarc
Southern Georgia is raaaaacist!!!!!!!!!!!
The Great Orator!
And he’s Richard Nixon – defying the law.
This isn’t about race or political persuasion – it’s the Constitution, stupid.
Face>Palm
He’s the gift that keeps on giving.
History is not going to be kind to this dumb ass, no matter how much the mfm has tried to protect and coddle him.
The dumbest affirmative action buffoon to ever disgrace the office of the Presidency.
Poor Bammy has kept his ignorance concealed till now but the strain of the past 3 years has rattled his subterfuge.
obama the dolt didn’t have the teleprompter to save his dumb ass
For a guy who supposedly knows so much, is so intelligent, is the smartest man in the room, he makes an awful lot of goofs. I know he “graduated”, but was it from the Plugs Biden School of Stupidity? He’s sounding more & more like Plugs every day.
Two days in a row he needs to fire his researches and the TOTUS programmers.
Some poor hapless Teleprompter programer is probably looking for a job today. Btw,has Dear Leader found a way to take full credit for Georgia’s independence?
Give the guy a break.
You spend 30 hours a day campaigning/fundraising and see how sharp your mind stays.
“And hey guys, I really love your peaches!”
At least he didn’t say our best president ever was from Georgia….oh wait, Obama’s from ?

Now we know why he didn’t do anything after the russians invaded.
More demacratic ignorance youll not be hearing about from your daily manure spreader and birdcage linner/parrots toilet
Maybe he forgot what year it is. He does that a lot.
I’ll bet Saakashvili is starting to grove with his new iPod. Boy that Ray Charles was smoking in that “Rainy Night in Georgia” track!
