The big deal is that this is the President who admitted he doesn't know how to use a computer. Normally, you'd brush that off because he gets competent people to use the computer for him. This illustrates that he, in fact, doesn't do that at all. Anybody who does Google Image searches knows why this kind of error happens and how to avoid it. Is it a big deal if the President doesn't know what Walter Reed Hospital looks like? Maybe not. Is it a big deal the nobody on his staff knows what Walter Reed Hospital looks like? That's an argument to be made.

Yeah...I think he should've gone with the Roman Colosseum motif.

so what? get a life?

how the hell do you expect a team of idiots who can't even do a proper google search to run this country?

Kev: This doesn't sound like a very close relationship to me. Ayers and Obama were on the same neighborhood council? Ayers and his wife do a livingroom fund raiser for Obama in 1995?

Gimme a break Kevie! So when did Obama and Ayers get together and build bombs?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversy_over_an_Obama%E2%80%93Ayers_connection

The Obama–Ayers controversy arose during the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign regarding Presidential candidate Barack Obama's contact with Bill Ayers, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a former leader of the Weather Underground.[1] His position as a professor led to him serving on two nonprofit boards with Barack Obama, who lived in the same neighborhood. Both Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, hosted a small campaign meeting for Obama at their home in 1995.[2] The matter was covered by news organizations and brought up by the campaign of competing candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton in February 2008, revisited during a debate between Clinton and Obama in April 2008, then subsequently picked up by Republican presidential candidate John McCain as an issue in the general election campaign. Obama condemned Ayers' past through a spokesman,[3] and stated he does not have a close association with Ayers.[2]

Why this is relevant--because it is one more example of the McCain campaign's weak commitment to fact checking. Why this is worth mentioning--because Sarah Palin has suggested that the convention backdrops are worth discussion. And why this is really funny--because Walter Reed Middle School is known for three things--all of which are pretty much of an anathema to the McCain campaign--1) highly gifted kids (i.e. like Barack Obama, referred to by Republicans as "the elite") 2) performing arts students (who will grow up and want to destroy the sanctity of marriage by marrying each other) and 3) poor Hispanic kids who qualify for school lunches (government handouts) and are in many cases, also English learners. Which makes it even funnier that they are now claiming they meant to show Walter Reed Middle School all along.....
