Obama-Harper Press Conference In Canada UPDATE: Obama Doesn't Know Where He Is

Just wrapping up on all the cable networks.

No word yet on whether or not Obama's first appearance in a foreign country as President has led to that country asking for admittance to the union.

Stand by for a rundown.

Oy.

The newness is showing - the president began his remarks with, "It's a great pleasure to be here in Iowa - Ottawa."

But as silly school girl Kathleen Parker tells us, Obama is preternaturally calm and unflappable. Since he never gets nervous, one can only surmise he's an idiot (at least that's how Bush would be portrayed).

(Thanks to Robert_Paulson in the comments for the link).

Ummm...Obama just thanked the Canadians who came to the US to campaign for him. How many donated money to the cause Barack? Jebus what an idiot. (see the 3:31 entry from the White House liveblog)

Shocker! As of 4:17est the AP story on the press conference doesn't mention the Iowa/Ottawa gaffe. To paraphrase Chief Brody, you're gonna need a bigger memory hole.

For the record, I don't think it's a big or even little deal. It's just the clear double standard I find so amusing/annoying.
