Aloha and welcome to Asia!

It's hard to mistake that Hawaiian scenery. But President Obama apparently forgot where he was during his press conference on Sunday on the outskirts of Honolulu, despite being born there (NOT in Kenya). The president mistakenly described his location as "Asia" while answering a question about budget cuts. The quote? "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." Technically, Hawaii isn't in Asia, but neither is it geographically fixed to North America. Hawaii is a chain of islands in Polynesia, therefore, it is not part of any continent. I think Obama had one Mai Tai too many before the conference.
