The President was delivering his most comprehensive speech on foreign affairs, entertaining an important leader from abroad and holding a press conference at which all but four questions focused on foreign policy...

The general curiosity seems to end with fourth-grade geography and the fact that Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable body of water on earth.
