"At Tuesday night’s AFL-CIO forum in Chicago, Obama was asked if he would scrap
the North American Free Trade Agreement as president. The senator from Illinois
said, “I would immediately call the president of Mexico, the president of
Canada, to try to amend NAFTA, because I think that we can get labor agreements
in that agreement right now.”"
What do you think? Do you think that he really didn't know that Canada has a prime minister, and not a president?
It is more likely that he was more focused on the point of his sentence, and was either being sloppy or lazy in calling the leader of Canada a president. It is worth noting though that Bush would have gotten more press in 2000, if he had made a similar statement.
