Obama and Intelligence

I really don't mean to pick on Obama but someone needs to point out his ignorance, given the pass that he usually gets. I suspect that he took classes in college in which debate is important and skipped classes which reguired learning facts. And I suspect that he does not read a wide variety of factual stuff, sticking to opinion pieces.

For the record, the US does not have one of the largest Muslim populations but ranks 38th.
And the Austrians don't speak Austrian, the US doesn't have 3% of the world population, Mexicans don't celebrate "Quatro de Cinco" (or Cinco de Mayo for that matter), Kentucky is not closer to Arkansas than Illinois, "Orion" is not pronounced "Or-e-On", etc.
