Although we have a Prime Minister, our head of state (equivalent of the President) is her majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, simply known in government terms as "The Crown".

So yeah, CNN tries to bash Mr. Obama for making a slight mistake, when in fact they don't even know the answer themselves...

As long as he actually know's that Canada has a Prime Minister and not a President, then I'm game.

God Save The Queen.

The press jumped all over Bush when he screwed up country and leader names, and I'm sure most of you weren't defending him.

Regardless, U.S. leaders should be more aware of Canada, its history, and form of government. Although, judging from comments on this page, Canadians themselves are not also not particularly well-informed. HM Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state, as is evident by a review of multiple Government of Canada websites, as well as the Canadian Constitution. Her pesonal representative in Canada - the Governor General - carries out the Queen's duties, but it is all done in the name of the Queen. That is why the Queen's visage appears on Canadian coins, why the name of Canadian military ships start with "HMCS" (Her Majesty's Canadian Ship), etc. "Clinton" from Montreal is either not really from Canada, or delusional.

God Save The Queen!

It’s truly disheartening to know that even when presented with the truth, one would still try and deny it. And some people wonder why America is in disarray and the world hates us.

There is one good trend I see emerging from all the polling and news coverage that has been going on, and that is that among Americans polled with college degrees, Obama is their choice. I guess that is because they have the capacity to use there head for something other then a place for their hat.

God keep our land,glorious and free!
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee!

Obama is ignorant of many things that a US president cannot afford to be ignorant of.

He knows little of world geography, know little of the US Military, or any military.

If this guy became president he would be somebodies hand puppet and we would never know whose running the USA. He is too dumb the run it himself that is for sure.

They say it's to have a bigger voice in choosing the nominee. That's true, because they(elitists) want to get the nominee THEY want. They know if things go as normal with the primaries, the greater the chance for the small guy to increase his candidacy. They want their guy to get the nominee while they're on top.

You're all being run into the ground and don't even realize it yet. Better yet, you won't do anything about it either because you're all trained sheep that obey your master government.

Obama is bringing topics to the table that Americans should be talking about and certainly the world wants to hear from a country that has so much military power and misuses it so tragically.

So, Obama we forgive you..

Oh, and by the way, I don't want my President to "take on the right." as Hillary said. I am so incredibly weary of left versus right, us versus them, evil versus good. Get a President in there that can make the country whole and start some forward momentum on things like healthcare and global warming. Hillary could NEVER bring Republicans and Democrats together as Americans. If you watch what she's saying closely, she's saying the same "you're either with me or against me" that Bush has, only now it's for the left rather than the right. Obama feels like he knows exactly what needs to be done and he's the absolute best to do it.

What needs to be done is bringing the partys together and not being wishy washy. We need someone that sees the way ahead and can unite us. Obama '08

So Obama is on the CFR. I'll take your word for it since it wasn't on the site you referred to. In fact his name wasn't anywhere I could find. So how do you know he loves NAFTA? Where do I find that information. Has he said so? Do you think every member of the CFR agrees on everything? And the article on the CFR website didn't say anything about combining the US, Canada and Mexico into one country. It said basically combine resources for security, trade and investment purposes while still maintaining national sovereignty. And it was only a discussion.

You made up all the rest about Obama and the end of America. You might want to think about writing a fiction novel.

By the way, out of all the negative comments about this "slip", maybe 1 was written with correct grammar. That is a little ironic, don't you think?

AND, let's just ignore the fact that EVERY politician has misspoken. Guess what? They are HUMAN. Humans make mistakes. For instance, it is a mistake that Hillary Clinton continues to defend her support of lobbyists. But let us concentrate on the real issues, like Obama's chronic naivety.

To CNN: For the sake of my sanity and the sake of our country, please get a life and start running real stories.

To everyone who is not supporting Obama because of @#%& like this: Please do not vote.

Thanks for pointing out this out for us, CNN.

OMG...Is she for real. If a potential president cannot talk forcefully and frankly to the American people and the world, they shouldn't be allowed to run for president. Hillary, I guess that means you prefer the tradition of lies, half truths, secrecy, insider debate... reminds me of the current bush-cheney stance. Hillary said to bring your brooms and vacuums to clean up Washington...the only thing that can clean up Washington is to rid it of Clinton and her lobbyist and arrogant friends.

Now there's a good story for CNN to cover. Bias has taken a new level on CNN.

You requested a source? Oh, how about straight from the CFR:

http://www.cfr.org/publication/4280/future_of_north_american_integration_in_the_wake_of_the_terrorist_attacks.html

Looks like the only wack is you and the rest of the CFR (including Obama) that want to destroy this country.

Please tell us how you know all this about Obama? Where's the proof besides on some wacko website? You made a statement, back it up with facts.

Attention CNN: This is not news. Please stick to the meaningful stuff.

Do you realize what you are doing? Do you even have a clue?

Are you going to do a segment on Hillary Clinton's ties to lobbyist and her comment that they don't effect her vote? What about her comment that you don't say what you think when running for President?

Do you realize that God is watching you and He is taking notes? He sees what you are doing.

You take every second to bash either Senator Obama or Senator Edwards but NEVER call Hillary Clinton on the carpet about her comments.

Playing on words is something you punish your child for.

Grow up CNN.

Obama is still too green. He needs a few more years to grow.

Even if we accept the quoted text as accurate, the only thing it tells us is that there was a very minor slip of the tongue. If we could focus on substance instead of this sort of nitpicking, the country would be a lot better off.

Obama is a better leader than Clinton and would fare better against the Republicans.
