To piggyback on Mock’s Tip O’ The Day below, I’d like to offer a bit of advice for those seeking the position as President of the United States.
KNOW THE FREAKIN’ NATIONAL MOTTO.
In case you’re stumped, the national motto is “In God We Trust,” and NOT “E pluribus unum” (Latin for “out of many, one”).
The video below shows you what NOT to do. While giving a speech in Indonesia, Obama compares what he believes OUR motto is with Indonesia’s, drawing a bogus line of similarity. Only, yeah…that’s not our national motto, Mr. President.
And, is it just me, or is “God” an easy word to say? So, you’d think someone with his level of education would be able to say it, but for some odd reason, he seems to avoid it like the plague.
FAIL.
