Do most Americans even know who Hayes is?

Allegedly misquoting a rather obscure politician from more than one century ago clearly proves Obama should be impeached. And he hasn't even the excuse of being too busy starting new invasions, that no-good uppity usurping slacker. *nod*

So this error is representative of his entire knowledge of history? Okay. So one mistake necessarily means that his entire grasp of the subject is flawed?

Cool logic bro.

Clearly this is grounds for Obama's impeachment and subsequent crucifixion on Capitol Hill. This is an utterly inexcusable crime and America's honour demands blood in retribution.

Right, because conservatives have never been wrong. And because a writer who's a self-described conservative can be trusted to write neutral articles about a liberal.

I vaguely remember the name Hayes..... But as president, I think he should be a little more knowledgeable about past leaders. The whole "those who forget history are bound to repeat it". I don't think it's a big deal though.

Fuck, all I know about Hayes is that he had a beard, I think.

Wait, waitt, was he the one that got shot and the guy thought that would somehow get him a cabinet position or something?

That is the Republicans fault, they forced him into either accepting or denying it when they were still trying to get the environmental kicks ironed out, and as without that proper time he was forced to deny it. Moreover, as native Nebraskan I can tell you a strong number of our state doesn't want to risk the environmental risk of the pipeline, including our Republican governor.

Yeah, because a few new workers are so much more important then the environment....yeah totally.

I'm sorry, but I'd rather they wait for some OTHER jobs to pop up that aren't so damaging to the environment then spending a bunch of money on a pipe line that's bound to destroy natural habitats.

Making speeches is hard when you can't do a quick fact-check of yourself on Wikipedia before you talk.

That ABC chap must've gotten distracted by cross-linked articles, since it took him two hours to respond.

Wait, I thought Cleveland was the one who served two nonconsecutive terms... and probably did some other stuff, too?
