At a campaign event this afternoon in Denver, President Obama touted the importance of green energy industries in the United States. And when he got to the bit about wind turbines, well, his teleprompterlessness reared its ugly head:
Oof.
Obama just referred to Colorado as "here in China".

Heh.
Several Twitterers noted that the Obama/Biden campaign seems to be particularly gaffetastic today:
Biden thought Ohio was Iowa today and Obama thought Colorado was China. http://t.co/TQud7tpH Hard when things don't start with the letter B

At least Biden’s flub managed to stay within the United States.
