Argentine President Cristina Fernandez, who has insisted without success that Washington recognize its claim to the Falkland Islands controlled by Britain, was one of several presidents who left the summit well before its official closure.
She missed a verbal gaffe by Obama, who referred to the "Maldives" instead of the "Malvinas" when using the name Latin Americans give to the disputed islands.
Will Øbama ever learn anything?
Someone who knows everything cannot be taught anything.
Give 0bammy a break, man! It’s tough keeping track of all of our *57 states*, and the rest of the darned world, too!
If a Republican had done this, we’d never hear the end of how stupid they are from the MSM and their collection of idiot talking heads. But because it’s a Bamster SNAFU, nobody except FReepers will know about it.
So he supports Argentina’s claim now?
Maldives, offshore Kenya.
The MSM will report it.
Right after the coverage on the lack
of Obama’s BC and other normal documentation.
Had the faux pas been made by a conservative,
it would been covered 24/7,
followed by endless jokes on Leno, SNL, etc. etc.
I hope he learns what it is like to be an ex-president soon...and possibly how lonely a cell is in Leavenworth.

Aren’t the Maldives real near to the Malvinas?

I keep looking for an Obama gaffe with “AP” as the source. Non-existent.
This was obviously not a gaffe but certainly a teleprompter error
Those things and places connected with Islam seem to roll off his lips so much more easily...
Obama is a geographical gaffe.

You’re thinking of the Endives, a very common mistake! /s
Maybe he was talking about Mal Evans, deceased Beatles roadie?

He’s much too intelligent to be bothered by details.
Besides, the teleprompter set him up.
No...they’re next door to the Marquesas.
