I mean I don’t need her to know Antietam or Picketts charge but I expect the President of the US to pass the civics portion of the Naturalization test. Shit, what type of expectation levels have we sunk to?

She didn’t have to get into how the Kansas Nebraska Act or Uncle Toms Cabin played a role, all she had to do was know that slavery was the main catalyst. It was a simple question with a simple answer.

Do we want a president who doesn’t know why we went to Vietnam or where Germany is on a map?This is Sarah Palin territory.

And yeah, the President definitely better know about the Monroe Doctrine.
