OOPS: Republican Senator Accidentally Endorses Obama

As they each approached the microphone to speak to a couple of thousand people, who might regret their words first?

The "winner" on this day, if only for a moment, was Grassley.

“We will put America on a new path to a new day with a new President Obama,” Grassley intoned.

Oops.

Grassley caught himself.

“A new president Obama?" he asked nobody in particular. "Pardon me I want to forget that word.”
