Can someone please give Obama a history lesson

When doing a speech in a foreign country and using your Birthday to make your point, do you not think you should know what you're talking about?

Ortega denounced the U.S.-backed attempt to overthrow Fidel Castro's new Communist government in Cuba in 1961, a history of US racism and what he called suffocating U.S. economic policies in the region. In his 17-minute address to the summit, Obama departed from his prepared remarks to mildly rebuke Ortega. "To move forward, we cannot let ourselves be prisoners of past disagreements. I'm grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was three months old. Too often, an opportunity to build a fresh partnership of the Americas has been undermined by stale debates. We've all heard these arguments before." Actually, the president misspoke on the sequence of events in Cuba. The invasion of CIA-trained rebels at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba occurred in April 1961. Obama was born August 4, 1961.

Cuba occurred in April 1961. Obama was born August 4, 1961.
Are you sure?
On the first he could have been talking about Operation Mongoose which was in Nov 61
On the second do we really KNOW when and where he was born? :wink:

Reaching, that he needs history lessons?

for missing by a couple of months? Maybe he does need a history lesson. But he was close, closer than most people would have been off the top of his head. I guess my point is that there are things you could be justifiably picking on him for without nit picking stupid little miss steps like this.
The last moron that was your commander in chief made gaffs far worse than this on a regular basis but was beyond reproach on this board.
Perhaps this moron could be afforded the same slack. :wink:

It is a little worrisome though, when he goes abroad blaming the US for all these historical events, when it is clear he is no history buff, and he is reading from speeches written by people with questionable ties.

He needs to have the experience and knowledge to read a speech before hand and say "hey, that's not right"

Sitting in the Church he did for 20 years and listening to the hate for America, and not walking out. Is it any wonder where he gets his sense of historical reality?

But then again he is a "Christian", that believes that all people are going to Heaven, no matter what they believe, or sins they commit!
