Obama is catching flack from Poland because he referred to Polish death camps instead of Nazi death camps in Occupied Poland.
Meantime, the Romney campaign put out some kind of app - i.e., application, for those who don't have Smart Phones...and whoever created that mispelled America!
Is there no quality control for speech writers or app makers?
Will all the money these folks make, they can't hire proof readers and fact checkers to make sure they don't make these stupid gaffes?
As with Kennedy and his "I am a donut" comment in front of the Berlin Wall, is Obama's flub really that serious. Everyone did know what he meant ...well, everyone over the age of 30, I think, the younger folks don't even know where WWII took place, I'd wager...
And as for mispelling America...how many of our bright students today - except the Asian-American ones - even know how to spell America themselves?
What's really frightening is the lack of education in this country among our younger folk...even up to college. I read a lot of message boards and it is very rare that I find someone posting in complete, coherent sentences. More often than not they write with atrocious grammar, run-on sentences, and faulty logic.
And the thing is- if you can't write coherently, that means you're not thinking coherently. Problem-solving skills probably nil.
Not a good situation for this country to be in, when there is soooooooooo much competition now from other places.
