Obama Forgets Where He Met Michelle In Moscow Speech (VIDEO)

Barack Obama has proven himself to in many ways be the ideal husband, but today in Moscow he showed that he was not immune to the occasional slip-up, as evidenced by the following statement: "I don't know if anybody else will meet their future wife or husband in class like I did, but I'm sure that you're all going to have wonderful careers." Why was this bad you wonder? Politico explains:

Obama seemed to be playing off an introduction that referred to him meeting his future wife, Michelle Robinson, while he was a student. But the truth is that the couple met not "in class" but at a law firm in Chicago, Sidley Austin, in 1989. Obama was a summer associate (essentially a legal intern) there and Robinson was an attorney completing her first year at the firm. Both attended Harvard Law School, but Michelle graduated in the spring of 1988, while Barack Obama did not arrive at the Cambridge, Mass., campus until that fall.
