Obama needs a few lessons in geography. Not only is he confused about the number of states we have, he doesn't know the East Coast from the Gulf Coast.

I'm sure Leno was just to nice to point it out during the show, but here is part of their dialog.
*************
LENO: You mentioned infrastructure. Why is that a partisan issue? I live in a town, the bridge is falling apart, it’s not safe. How does that become Republican or Democrat? How do you not just fix the bridge?

OBAMA: I don’t know. As you know, for the last three years, I’ve said, let’s work together. Let’s find a financing mechanism and let’s go ahead and fix our bridges, fix our roads, sewer systems, our ports. You know, the Panama Canal is being widened so that these big supertankers can come in. Now, that will be finished in 2015. If we don’t deepen our ports all along the Gulf — places like Charleston, South Carolina, or Savannah, Georgia, or Jacksonville, Florida — if we don’t do that, those ships are going to go someplace else. And we’ll lose jobs. Businesses won’t locate here.

I guess he didn't have his teleprompters up and running....

Let's be more concerned with a verbal gaffe since we can't make a good argument about the substance of what he was saying.
