The Obama Amateur Hour Continues

Not so much The One this time but his most prominent administration official embarrassing the USA.

Hillary Clinton visited the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a revered shrine for Catholics in Mexico. A church Monsignor showed Shrillary the Our Lady of Guadalupe image. The image is believed to have been imprinted by the Almighty himself and anyone with even a cursory knowledge of the Catholic Church would know this.

So what did our brilliant SecState ask?

After observing it for a while, Mrs. Clinton asked “who painted it?” to which Msgr. Monroy responded “God!”
Singularly, this would just be an oversight by the State Department in not preparing Hillary for the visit. Those things happen. But add this to the DVD fiasco with Gordon Brown and the bungled "reset button" gimmick with the Russians and we see an administration that is unprepared for even the basics of statesmanship and leadership. Hillary should be singled out as well as this is two times within weeks that her staff has made her look the idiot, a task she does fine by herself without outside assistance.

Update: Remember how we were told this would be the "most wired adminsitration in history". Uh, no.
