Following the contemptible storming of the British Embassy in Iran by violent protesters, President Obama rightly condemned the Iranian government for not controlling the protesters and protecting a diplomatic outpost. In doing so, however, he made yet another embarrassing foreign policy gaffe: referring to the embassy as "English" instead of "British."
Reached for comment the president said, "Maybe saying 'English' was technically incorrect, but keep in mind that they have a
different kind of set-up than we do here. And how many Britishmen
can name all 57 states? See what I mean? Apples and Oranges."
