Firenze Sage: Obama does not know geography either [Cartegena, Columbia speech about Falkland Islands]

FALKLAND
Obama refers to Falkland Islands as off coast of India

Two wrongs make a right? No. The first wrong is Obama’s attempt — unsuccessful — to snub Britain and undermine U.S. ‘special relations’ with Britain. The second wrong is Obama’s reference to the Falkland Islands as the Maldives — which are 8,000+ miles away from Malavinas aka the Falkland Islands.

Venezuela continues to dispute Britain’s sovereignty of the Falkland Islands.

President Obama erred during a speech at the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia, when attempting to call the disputed archipelago by its Spanish name.

Instead of saying Malvinas, however, Mr Obama referred to the islands as the Maldives, a group of 26 atolls off that lie off the South coast of India.

The Maldives were a British protectorate from 1887 to 1965 and the site of a UK airbase for nearly 20 years.

Firenze Sage: topsy turvy — Joe Biden is paid by secret service bodyguards

bodyguards pay Biden to guard

Biden charges govt

Topsy turvy Obama government VP Joe Biden is paid by his bodyguards for the right to protect him. Joe Biden received $20,900 from Secret Service bodyguards in rental income and Biden reported $12,653

Vice President Joe Biden last year earned $20,900 in rental income from the Secret Service, which is paying him to host agents on his property so they can protect him.

Most high-profile people in need of protection pay people to keep them safe. Government officials are allowed to have taxpayers pick up the tab. Biden is unique in that he actually gets paid by his bodyguards for the right to protect him.

Biden’s tax records list rental income of $20,900 from a “cottage” on is property, which is reportedly being leased by the Secret Service and paid for at a rate that could earn him even more money next year.

Biden took deductions for mortgage interest and taxes that allowed him to report only $12,653 of the amount on his federal tax return.
