Twice in the last two weeks, he has referred to the Czech Republic as Czechoslavakia when it hasn't been that for several years.

Geez, man, this is not important.

What it important is when a presidential candidate is seen as waffling on foreign policy -- like Obama's bungle on Jerusalem, his waffle on sitting down with foreign dictators, his plan to immediately withdraw from Iraq (followed by one revision after another, to where his policy on getting out is essentially the same as Bush's, except Bush's is to have us WIN and Obama's has us surrendering).

Making an understandable mistake in referring to some country as its predecessor just doesn't matter. Many people still refer to Russia as the "soviet union" rather than the "Former Soviet Union".

Don't be such a child.
