So a sheep answer can be wrong as it pertains the question?

frenchy

My second choice after Bunker Hill would have been Antietam.

wendersfan

I'm now convinced Pharoh and JasonF are indeed the same person.

Question 5. Name a television show where Barack Obama has made an in-person (or by satellite) appearance.

wendersfan

This was a total guess for me. I don't think I've seen Obama on TV since the nomination.
