History Fail

So much for Joe The Historian:
“This country has been great for over 180 years,” Wurzelbacher said after urging folks to study the Constitution. It wasn’t clear whether something happened in the late 1820s to make the United States great, but other than a few puzzled glances from the crowd, everyone went with it.
Technically, it’s not an untrue statement, of course. Perhaps, not being sure how old America is, he just picked an age that he was sure it was older than, just to be on the safe side.
(To be fair, it’s possible that this is a Math Fail rather than a History Fail.)
