Stuff that people think they know
[30th J.P.'s Moment of Common Sense on Broad View, KBZZ 1270 AM and 96.1 FM in Reno.]
President Obama misquoted Rutherford B. Hayes this week. Hayes is our 19th president, he’s been dead for 120 years, but he was Republican so I guess that makes him fair game for Obama... I don’t know. Maybe that’s the reason he misquoted him, maybe not. I’ve given up trying to explain the president’s factual errors politely.
What’s interesting about the misquote is that when the curator of the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont, Ohio, was contacted, she admitted hearing and correcting that same misquote numerous times. It’s one of those things people think they know, but really don’t.
There’s a lot of that stuff in circulation – stuff people think they know...
