Obama flubs line on jobs, says he’s “channeling” Romney

During a campaign speech on Wednesday, the usually smooth President Obama blew a key line in his speech, but then jokingly said he was “channeling” Mitt Romney when he made the gaffe.

Speaking in the battleground state of Ohio, Obama was explaining his five-point plan to boost the economy when he mistakenly said, “I want to see us export more jobs.” Obama quickly caught himself and added, “Export more products.”

Then he used his mistake as a dig at Romney, saying, “Excuse me. I was channeling my opponent for a second.”
