She's almost as smart
as Joe Biden.
Harvard educated
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."
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 and Thomas Jefferson, George
Washington, and James Madison were born in Virginia. John Adams was born in
Massachusetts.
In fact, only eight of the 56 were not born in
America.
Surely she
knew this ... but, then again, maybe not. After all, she is a
Princeton graduate and Harvard law school
graduate, isn't she?

Pilgrim; it's tougher when
you're stupid." John Wayne
