This morning, Barack Obama appeared on This Week on ABC. It was a wide-ranging and interesting interview, but there was one moment that jumped out at me.

The answer struck me as surprising, especially considering Harry Reid made a similar mistake in the Spring of 2007:
As the campaign intensifies and statements get parsed more and more, we're bound to see more mis-statements, clarifications and apologies from both sides. But, there is something surprisingly certain in Obama's tone here as he makes such an apparent mistake.
