The comment on this website covers it well. It says, "Is he running for President of the United States? Or, of Mexico? And it makes the important point that these were not off the cuff remarks. This was a prepared text.
Somebody, though apparently not Obama, actually thought about this statement before he came out with it.
For a guy that is terrible off the cuff but brilliant on the teleprompter, how does he possibly get any kind of pass on this? I can see it now. With the speech-writer screaming in the background as he is thrown under the bus, "I should have proofread this a bit better. This is not the speech writer I know."
