If you are so gullible as to believe this list without first using your God-given brain to do a little critical thinking, then you're ignorance is alarming.

Let's take the first three.

First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner.
False This was from a viral email that was purely fictional "AP" story created during the "birther" movement. It was dated April 1.....April First...get it? There is no record in existence that Obama ever received college aid.

First President to have a social security number belonging to another man, from a state he has never lived in.
FalseThis is simply made up. There is no documentation of this except that he does have a Social Securty number and it is his own.

First President to preside over a cut to the credit-rating of the United States.
True The downgrade was brought on by the market's lack of trust in what congress could do. S&P said “political brinkmanship” in the debate over the debt had made the U.S. government “less stable, less effective and less predictable.” In other words, S&P directly blames Congress.

So,
1. Use critical thinking. Your team isn't always right and their team isn't always wrong. Blindly believing either one make you a poor citizen.
2. Consider the entire picture. Though there may be truth to some things, know WHY they are true and whether or not someone is spinning the story.

The only thing that truly frightens me about this country right now is the disturbing number of citizens who put blind faith in their parties and the pundits and act like rats following the urban legends and pied pipers.

Don't be an idiot. Wake up and think for yourself.

I'll be the first to admit I didn't check all of the stuff out, I just wanted to see how many liberals would have a coronary over it and need ObamaCare to save them. :-)

In Obama's defense I would like to say that he has definitely made Jimmy Carter look good, and I thought that was impossible.

A few funny ones
1. How many states? Vice President Dan Quayle was virtually laughed out of Washington for misspelling potato back in 1992, yet Barack Obama made a more elementary flub when, during the 2008 campaign, he said: “I’ve now been in 57 states-I think one left to go.”

2. Hero soldier mix-up: While commending troops at Fort Drum, N.Y., for their completed deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, President Obama said, “A comrade of yours, Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn’t receiving it posthumously.” Wrong hero. Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti was killed in action, another soldier, Staff Sgt. Sal Giunta, was the first living recipient of the Medal of Honor that fought in Afghanistan.

3. What year is it? During a trip to London’s Westminster Abbey, President Obama signed the guest book and dated it 24 May 2008. Oops. It was 2011. (Maybe he was wistfully dreaming about his 2008 election campaign at the time.)

4. Look at the map: Not only does Obama not know how many states there are, he also doesn’t know where they are. During the 2008 primary campaign, he explained why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” Obama’s home state of Illinois, and not Arkansas, shares a border with Kentucky.

5. What language is that? In April 2009, on one of his many foreign trips, President Obama mused, “I don’t know what the term is in Austrian” for “wheeling and dealing.” Oops, Mr. President. There is no Austrian language.

6. Twister casualties: After a devastating tornado hit Kansas, Obama discussed the tragedy without help from a teleprompter, saying, ”In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died-an entire town destroyed.” He was only off by 9,988 as the twister killed 12 people.

7. How old is Malia? The President last month thought he was so clever, unfavorably comparing Republican procrastination on the debt limit to his daughters finishing their homework early. In his remarks, Obama made a reference to daughter Malia, saying she was 13 years old, when at the time she was 12. Imagine the press reaction if Michele Bachmann made a misstatement about any of her five children or 23 foster kids.

8. Special Olympics insensitivity: The President called and apologized to the head of the Special Olympics, after making this insensitive comment following a game of bowling: “No, no. I have been practicing. … I bowled a 129. It’s like-it was like Special Olympics, or something.” Maybe he should have also apologized to bowlers for his feeble effort.

9. Faith confusion: No wonder so many Americans are unsure of the President’s faith, as he seems to be confused himself. During the 2008 campaign, during an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Obama said, “What I was suggesting-you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith,” before Stephanopoulos jumped in to help, saying ”your Christian faith.”

10. Health care inefficiencies: During the health care debate, President Obama explained all the benefits of ObamaCare, saying, “The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system.” Mr. President, we already have enough inefficiency in health care and, yes, your “reforms” will only make it worse.
