Stupidity

This is not good...

Harvard educated First Lady 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."

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, being a highly educated woman. But, then again, maybe not.
After all, she is a Harvard graduate. Isn't she?
