The new president of Afghan was very gracious and never mentioned this gaffe and thanked the American taxpayer for their sacrifices made in order to keep funding Afghan in this war on terror.
Four scenarios regarding BO's gaffe.....
1. He really doesn't give a crap enough to even know who he's on stage with
2. People who wrote the teleprompter for him screwed it up
3. He went off script and screwed it up (pulled a Joe Biden)
4. He can't read a teleprompter anymore
Which one do you think the liberal media will use or do you think they'll make up one of their own, like "He's so overworked and tired...yadayada"
