Seems more likely he was mistaken about the date

LOL !!! Mistaken about the date ? We are not talking days or months, but years. I thought he was the most brilliant president we ever had in office. Did he ever take a history class ? I knew the year of the Selma march and I don't even have a personal connection to it as he claims that he does. Ok, lets forget about dates. How about Supreme Court Rulings. From his 2010 State of the Union :

Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests – including foreign corporations – to spend without limit in our elections. Well I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong.

That was an outright lie. From the court decision:

Justice Anthony Kennedy specifically wrote that the opinion did not address the question of foreign companies.

We need not reach the question of whether the government has a compelling interesting in preventing foreign individuals or associations from influencing our Nation’s political process, he wrote. The court held that the First Amendment protected the right of American corporations to spend money on independent political commercials for or against candidates. They never addressed the issue of foreign corporations.

Obama's a typical arrogant, lefty pseudo-intellectual blowhard. What do you expect?

LOL. That's a good joke!

Now you're getting somewhere. I'll have to look into it a bit more, but I think this may be the example I was looking for. I'll get back to you.
