Obama calls Putin “President” —just like he called P.M. Stephen Harper! Media thinks it’s funny.

Imagine if it were Bush or Palin or any conservative living or dead. 

Obama trips up over Russian leadership tandem

MOSCOW (Reuters) – In a slip of the tongue, U.S. President Barack Obama described Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Monday as president …

  He also called Prime Minister Harper “the President of Canada”. 

It’s OK though.  Barack Obama is not a Republican.  The media’s standards are lower for him.  Sort of an affirmative action for Democrats thing, I guess.
