Gotta
love the First Lady
Michelle
Obama reminded attendees of
a Naturalization Ceremony Wednesday
that the Founding Fathers
weren't born in America.
The ceremony for 50 new U.S.
citizens was held at the
National Archives in Washington,D.C.
She
said during her speech,
referring to the Declaration
of Independence,
"It's amazing that just a
few feet from here where I'm
standing are the signatures
of the 56 Founders who put
their names on a
Declaration that changed the
course of history, and like
the 50 of you, none of them
were born American - they
became American."
Excuse
me? Did she actually mean
that those who signed the Declaration
of Independence and
participated in the drafting
of the Constitution were not
born in America?
Benjamin
Franklin was born in
Pennsylvania. Thomas
Jefferson, George
Washington, and James
Madison were born in
Virginia. John
Adams was born in
Massachusetts. Only eight
of the 56 were not born in
America. Surely she knew
this.
But,
then again, maybe not. After
all, she is a Harvard
graduate. Isn't
she?
As
John Wayne said, "Life's
tough. It's tougher when
you're stupid."
And
by the way, THE CONSTITUTION
WAS NOT SIGNED IN WASHINGTON
D.C.!
It was signed in Philadelphia!
It was signed in Philadelphia!
I
guess it's true, you just
can't fix stupid.
