Did anyone else (I'm sure lots of other people did) catch President Obama open his inaugural Address with a flagrant historical inaccuracy? He stated that 44 men have taken the oath of office. That's wrong. While our 44th President was busy doing Cocaine some of us were learning History, and learned that Grover Cleveland served two non consecutive terms and is considered to be both the 22nd President and the 24th President.
I know that some people are asking why this even matters, or thinking that I'm just nit-picking, but it does matter because it shows a complete lack of knowledge, or even concern about the knowledge, of our national history.
Obama has stated on more than one occasion that we need to break from our History (or fancy words which mean that) and now we find out that he doesn't even know the History that he wants to break from. Nor does he care.
I don't much care what anyone else thinks, I think it's disgusting.
