Wyoming rocky mountain high?

The Obama administration, which is dripping in Ivy League-educated academics, made an elementary geographical error during its recent fundraising tour.

In a map of the United States appearing on press credentials issued to reporters and photographers for Obama’s West Coast tour, Wyoming is highlighted instead of Colorado. The tour was scheduled to include Colorado, California and Washington.

Though both states are rectangular in shape, they have tremendously different electorates. Wyoming is a conservative stronghold while Colorado is a swing state that Obama carried in 2008.

Obama attended seven fundraisers in two days between Washington and California. He finished up his tour Tuesday after making a speech at Denver’s Lincoln High School.
