Obama calls Canada's leader 'president'

WASHINGTON - U.S. Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama has been trying to burnish his foreign policy credentials.

So it didn't help when he called Canada's leader a "president" during a debate Tuesday in Chicago.

Asked what he'd do about the North American trade deal, Obama said it needs changes, so he'd "immediately call the president of Mexico (and) the president of Canada."

"Our trade agreements should not just be good for Wall Street, it should also be good for Main Street," he told his union audience.

When it comes to global affairs, Obama has been sparring with his first-place rival Senator Hillary Clinton, who's intent on showcasing her experience and his rookie status.

She didn't mention the Canada slip.

But she criticized Obama, a one-term senator, for answering a hypothetical question about a nuclear attack on Pakistan and announcing he'd send U.S. forces into Pakistan to catch terrorists if there was actionable intelligence about their location.

"You can think big," said Clinton, "But remember you shouldn't always say everything you think if you're running for president because it has consequences across the world."
