It wasn’t clear if Barack Obama knew exactly where he was Friday afternoon when he spoke at his mass rally at the BankAtlantic Center.
He repeatedly used the term “Sunshine” as a place name rather than “Sunrise,” the city where the arena is located, including, "How’s it going Sunshine? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you everybody. It’s good to be in Sunshine."
U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, a Democrat who represents north and central Broward and is co-chairman of Obama's Florida campaign, said the candidate could have been speaking metaphorically about Florida’s sunshine.
The opposition had a different view. Before Obama was done shaking hands on the arena floor, the Republican National Committee put out a statement pointing out the gaffe along with a link to this video.

I’m sure he was well aware that he was in one of the fifty-seven states.

Oh, yeah, there was no way he could have been so stupid he didn't know where he was and didn't care enough to actually study the name so he would not make a mistake/SAR

"It’s good to be in Sunshine."
And y'know what would happen if Quayle or McCain had said the same thing...

Maybe he really meant "It's good to be ON Sunshine". As in Orange Sunshine.
