content: The thing is if you don't understand what you are talking about, don't talk about it and let someone that does speak on the topic. But Politicians can't keep their face out of the news and let the informed speak they have to speak themselves and a to dumb to admit to not knowing something, it isn't a weakness it is just a mater of lacking knowledge on a topic and deferring comment to someone that does know or until you can learn about it but they won't and that shows a level of ego or stupidity.
