Apples and oranges. First, I doubt that Obama was confused about the difference between, say, a state and a territory. Here, I'm not sure that Trump really grasps some of the key concepts or can even understand what these models show.

Second, Obama did not take a map of the United States and, wanting it to look larger or more powerful, artificially include other territory.

There is a difference between misspeaking or even misunderstanding an issue and going to these absurd lengths.

It's the behavior, not the statement that people are still commenting on.

So, here we are with Trump.
Hell, I would have even voted for Carly Fiorina over either Trump or Clinton. And the Republicans could still have got a lot of what they wanted with her as President. But out of all their choices, the Republicans chose to hitch their wagon to this guy. And now we are all stuck with him.

It’s only accumulated 11 years of comments.

Surely he's done something else to attract the wrath of his detractors. Has he tweeted on nothing else?

Funny...the Obama thread for his comment lasted two days and accumulated 78 posts. Yes, people still remember and mention the comment, but there's not a thread with constant chatter about it going on for eleven years.

His administration says he got hourly updats on Saturday......at what point was Alabama threatened -- Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,......maybe there will be some rare boomerang effect -- maybe it will happen next week?

So on Wexdnesday the forecast were genralized and many states were on the look out.

By Saturday it was clear what states were going to be impacted.

Getting hourly updates the PResident would have known this.

But somehow the Wednesday forecast stuck in his head.

Okay -- let's go with that story -- WOW.......so we have a President woh gets one idea in his head and can't be convinced otherwise in the futre.

EEEK......

It's not wrath.

It's people commenting on the bizarre behavior of our president. Some comments are serious, some are humorous, but none of them has anything to do with wrath.

The only anger I'm seeing here is from trumplings.
