Romney Thinks Solutions

I've seen several stories online that suggest Mitt Romney is a bit foolish asking where the water came from while visiting Louisiana. It seems with the options of rain, rivers, and ocean that this is a perfectly good question from someone that might be considering or thinking about solutions to a recurring problem in the region. Why wouldn't someone who cared ask questions related to issues and solutions? I'm offended that I've read a story on this topic more than once and this suggests that some might be completely ignorant to how problems are solved or feel the need to promote stupidity. I hope the most recent presidency has not dumbed down some Americans to the point where we don't solve problems and we only maintain them or make them worse.
