Maps were never my strong point. Are you SURE this thing isn't upside down?!

Gavin Andrews   June 29th, 2009 8:55 pm ET

Oren Skurnik   June 29th, 2009 9:23 pm ET

Let's see.... Who else can we borrow money from?

Parisa .Z. Toronto, Canada   June 29th, 2009 9:31 pm ET

Obama as an aspiring politician and a messenger of hope and change ,not only in US but in the world, manages the unification of East and West despite the challenges.
This photo really reminds me of Chaplin's speech at the end of the Great Dictator movie when he says, "in the name of the democracy, let's all unite".

I invoke interest from all over the world, and all I got was this big map.

Hilary   June 29th, 2009 9:37 pm ET

I still can't believe she thought Alaska's proximity to Russia was foreign policy experience.

Sam Njoroge   June 29th, 2009 9:38 pm ET

Did Gibbs tell them that am one of the 20% of Americans who cant locate America on the world map?

sharon, sydney, ns   June 29th, 2009 9:39 pm ET
