Thread: President mixes up actor and QB

During Friday's year-end White House news conference, President Barack Obama said it was a mistake for Sony to cancel the release of "The Interview" because of the threat of violence from North Korea.

He added that he loved the film's actors, Seth Rogen and James Flacco.

Wait, who was that again?

The commander in chief accidentally mixed up Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and actor James Franco, which quickly caused a stir on social media as well as countless "elite" jokes. Blog posts about this have appeared on CNN, The Washington Post and E! Online.

Flacco's official Twitter account, which is generally run by his representatives, corrected the slip of the tongue:

He seems to be confused about a lot of things.

Mitt Romney and his "binders of women" would have like, totally -nailed- this moment.

If there's anyone in touch with stoner comedy, it's the GOP.

Proceed, Senator...

He meant to say Julio Franco.

Damn old people.
