John McCain Makes Spanish Gaffes During Interview

Where is Spain, John McCain?
Republican Presidential John McCain showed some confusion Wednesday night about the identity of the Prime Minister of Spain and exactly where that country of 40 million people is located.
In an interview with a Florida affiliate of Spain's Union Radio, McCain was asked, if elected president, would he invite Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero to the White House.
"I would be willing to meet with those leaders who are friends and want to work with us in a cooperative fashion," McCain said. He then mentioned Mexican President Calderon, who he said "is fighting a very tough fight against the drug cartels."
When the reporter repeated that he was talking about Spain, McCain responded: "I know the issues, I know the leaders."
Asked again if he would invite Zapatero, McCain shot back:
"All I can tell you is that I have a clear record of working with leaders in the Hemisphere that are friends with us and standing up to those who are not and that's judged on the basis of the importance of our relationship with Latin America and the entire region."
Spain is a longtime NATO ally, has nearly 1,000 soldiers fighting with the U.S. in Afghanistan, and was the target one of the worst Al Qaeda attacks in 2004.
It is also happens to be located in Europe, not the Western Hemisphere - and Zapatero is no johnny-come-lately: He's been in office for four years.

They (Spain)are a NATO ally and fighting in Afghanistan - It's his job to know.
His Halcyon Days are beginning earlier than Reagan's did.

Well, we have McCain who is confused about the location of Spain and Obama who is unclear about how many states there are in his own country.What a choice!

He doesn't like Spain because somebody said they had WMDs buried in the sand - plus, long ago Spain was dominated by Muslims.
If they're not for us, they're against us. Love it or leave it and stay the course.
(Did I get'em all in there?)

Ouch on both parts. McCain and his knowledge of a foreign nation and Obamas about our nation.

Obama is also (in)famous in Ohio for confusing the Cincinnati University Bearcats with the Ohio University Bobcats during a speech. Not of much note in terms of national/international politics, but not a good move in one of the states that will be key indetermining the election.
