18-year-old Kristen Neel of Georgia doesn’t like that Barack Obama was reelected. That’s fine. What’s also fine is that she said something so literally, factually wrong that it hurts.
But most at least have the sense to not broadcast their inability to do research.
From Austrailia’s Courier Mail:
Clearly disappointed with the election result, 18-year-old Georgia republican Kristen Neel joined the throngs of American Twitter users claiming they were moving to Australia to escape Obama’s presidency.
Unfortunately, she got a few facts wrong.
“I’m moving to Australia, because their president is a Christian and actually supports what he says,” she tweeted.
Neel’s tweet quickly went viral as bemused Aussies retweeted it more than 1400 times, many pointing out that Australia actually has an atheist, female Prime Minister.
“Our Prime Minister is a woman, an atheist who lives with a man she hasn’t married. I don’t think you’d like it here,” tweeted Ian Cuthbertson, TV editor at The Australian.
Ms. Neel appears to have deleted her Twitter account, likely because she was tired of people making fun of her for doing absolutely zero research about the nation she was planning on moving to—or because she didn’t want to face the shame of getting absolutely every detail wrong about Australia’s leader, from her title, to her religion, to the fact that she is, well, a she.

Key word : Republican.
She lives in Georgia, is attractive and so long as she doesn’t get addicted to meth, she will continue to look good, marry the love of her life and pop out a few ultra right wing redneck babies that will continue the cycle of ignorance.

Poor, vapid girl. There are many types of freedom she can still avail herself of in this country. Freedom from ignorance, for example. Maybe she tried to do the research, but couldn’t find anyone to tell her what the big words meant.
It would be funnier if there weren’t millions and millions more just like her.
Why don’t they ever want to go to countries where English isn’t the primary language?
Typical Fock Snooze groupie, right-wing nutjob Republican – Engage mouth before engaging brain.
I love how they all want to move to Canada or Oz or NZ . They have much more Liberal societies than here. BUT no black Prez. Like Canada wants them. Idiots all.
She’s obviously not aware of Australia’s strict immigration laws either.
Maybe she can join Newt on the MOON!
I think she should move to Australia and have children there, to keep from mixing her genes with those of the already cognitely challenged ‘white’ Georgia gene pool.
