Bachmann, Palin and American History
It is disturbing that our leading political figures make mistakes when they make statements concerning history then refuse to publicly correct them selves. Senator Bachmann, John Quincy Adams is not a founding father, even if he was born in the revolutionary era. JQ Adams greatest rival, Andrew Jackson, participated in the revolution in a small way and we do not consider him a founding father. Admit your error and move on! The same applies to you Gov. Palin, please make the correction and go on instead of steadfastly holding on to erroneous statements and setting such a poor example for others.
