Michelle Obama reminded attendees of a naturalization ceremony
Wednesday that the Founding Fathers weren't born in America .
The ceremony for 50 new U.S. citizens was held at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
She said during her speech, referring to the Declaration of Independence , "It's amazing that just a few feet from here where I'm standing are the signatures of the 56 Founders who put their names on a Declaration that changed the course of history, and like the 50 of you, none of them were born American - they became American."
Excuse me? Did she actually mean that those who signed the Declaration of Independence and participated in the drafting of the Constitution were not born in America ?
Benjamin Franklin was born in Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and James Madison were born in Virginia . John Adams was born in Massachusetts .
Only eight of the 56 were not born in America . Surely she knew this.
But, then again, maybe not. After all, she is a Harvard graduate. Isn't she???
As John Wayne said ….
"Life's tough. It's tougher when you're stupid!!"
