Obama’s not the only amateur, apparently

[cwo_ghwebb]

When I started the Obamateurism of the Day, I didn’t expect it to turn into a franchise. Demonstrating that Amateur Hour continues at the State Department, Hillary Clinton managed to display an amazing degree of ignorance while making a pilgrimage to the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico yesterday afternoon. While viewing the famous image of Mary as a native peasant that Mexicans believe was divinely created, Hillary asked — well, you have to read the story:

During her recent visit to Mexico, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made an unexpected stop at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe and left a bouquet of white flowers “on behalf of the American people,” after asking who painted the famous image.

The image of Our Lady of Guadalupe was miraculously imprinted by Mary on the tilma, or cloak, of St. Juan Diego in 1531. The image has numerous unexplainable phenomena, such as the appearance on Mary’s eyes of those present in the room when the tilma was opened and the image’s lack of decay.

Mrs. Clinton was received on Thursday at 8:15 a.m. by the rector of the Basilica, Msgr. Diego Monroy.

Msgr. Monroy took Mrs. Clinton to the famous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which had been previously lowered from its usual altar for the occasion.

After observing it for a while, Mrs. Clinton asked “who painted it?” to which Msgr. Monroy responded “God!”

Who painted it? Didn’t anyone brief Hillary on the history of the Guadalupe apparition? As it turns out, no one should have had to brief the Secretary of State. She told the Monsignor that she had visited once before, thirty years ago. She must have thought it was just a good place to take tourist pictures.

Real leaders surround themselves with competent staff. It's obvious this party cannot do that. It's not just the mongrel or the biatch, it's the Democrat party.

And the gaffes keep on coming..

"WHO PAINTED IT???????"


omg!!!

In anyone else, this would be ignorance in the true sense of the word (not knowing). When it is the United States' Secretary of State who has a whole department staff who do nothing but brief people on "protocol", it is beyond stupidity!

Can we revoke her passport before she gets us involved in another war somewhere?

Eh...who cares really?

I'd rather dislike her for other things (which I do).
