our president is a very simple man, and it happens to him all the time.
Previously he insulted pope, hungarians, mistook Tony Blair for John Mayor, pushed our prime minister out of way because of disappointment with football match (we had woman as PM back then), and some of his quotes are legendary, but (as any great play of words) hardly translatable.
Don\'t get me wrong - we love our \"president of the head of state\" (as he called himself at one occasion) very much, and wish him well.
