In his analysis of President Obama’s inauguration speech, Fox News’ Bret Baier was surprised that more attention wasn’t paid to what he thought was a familiar phrase: “peace in our time.”
And we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice – not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes: tolerance and opportunity; human dignity and justice.
Even more surprising than the lifting of a line from Neville Chamberlain, though, was a tweet to Baier asking, who’s Neville Chamberlain?
FNC viewers tweet @SpecialReport host @BretBaier the question – who is Neville Chamberlain. I weep for my country.

Baier’s response? Google it.
A LoFo voter just Tweeted Bret Baier "Who was Neville Chamberlain?"
Bret politely answered then asked, "If you can Tweet, can't you Google?"— Lucianne Goldberg (@LucianneLinks) January 23, 2013

@BretBaier Those who asked about Chamberlain instead of googling him, are the same people that want government free stuff.

@BretBaier People asking ‘who is Neville Chamberlain’ is case in point that History curriculum is seriously lacking today.

So, which is more troubling? That Americans don’t know who Neville Chamberlain was, or that the president chose him to quote in his inaugural address?
@BretBaier perhaps "peace in our time" was a Freudian slip. Obama WILL go down as the Neville Chamberlain of our time. #tcot
