Obama and Snooki

Does Obama know who Snooki is or not? That is the question.



From Gawker:

Barack Obama has been caught in a contradiction. Asked about Jersey Shore star Snooki on The View today, the President replied, "I don't know who that is." But two months ago he knew who she was! Nitpicky video analysis ahead.

Asked for his opinion on Snooki (who voted for John McCain) the president claimed ignorance. But two months ago he dropped Snooki's name in a White House Press Correspondents Dinner punchline about a health care provision named in honor of the hit MTV show. "It [the provision] reads, 'The following individuals shall be excluded from the indoor tanning tax within this bill: Snooki, JWOWW, The Situation and House minority leader John Boehner.'" So which is it, Obama? Do you know Snooki, or don't you? Clearly, this is the Watergate of our time, and America demands an answer.

If you can't trust Obama to be honest about something silly like knowing Snooki, you can't trust him on the big stuff.

Now, Obama does get confused. It's possible that he forgets what he says, considering so often he's reading words that aren't his own.

But good grief, Obama can't remember how many states there are in the U.S.



Can we really expect the brilliant Obama to remember Snooki?

That's too much to ask.
