Let's not get too tough on Obama
Obama apparently couldn't remember the month or the location of his last campaign stop.
Reminds me of 1996, when Bob Dole mixed up San Francisco and San Diego and the song Stay, where Jackson Browne doesn't remember if the next stop is Chicago or Detroit.
Anyway, the funny thing about the 96 Dole was he was hammered for calling the Dodgers "Brooklyn." My old man still calls the Dodgers "Brooklyn" on occasion.
And I often still mistakenly refer to the Colts as "Baltimore."
Time and travel get to all of us.
As Montgomery Burns once said [paraphrasing from memory], "Young man! I need to send this missive to the Prussian consulate in Siam - post haste! Am I too late for the afternoon auto-gyro?"
