Even liberals will have to shake their heads with this one from Obama:
The president mistakenly described his location as "Asia" while answering a question about budget cuts.
"When I meet with world leaders, what's striking -- whether it's in Europe or here in Asia -- the kinds of fundamental reforms and changes, both on the revenue side and the public pension side, that other countries are having to make are so much more significant than what we need to do in order to get our books in order," Obama said.

So Hawaii is now Asia? Back around 1941 when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor was the probably the closest Hawaii has been Asian. Of course, there are numerous Asian tourists that go visit, so maybe Obama was confused about that.
I am sure this was a mistake, just as Perry and Cain have made in recent weeks. But if political opponents want to criticize those guys, then Obama is fair game as well.
