Another Barack Obama error that the BBC managed not to report

Following on from yesterday's compilation of Barack Obama misspeaks here's one that I had missed:
'Explaining why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, during the 2008 Presidential campaign Barack Obama said:

"Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle."
Hmmm, just one problem Barack Obama's home state of Illinois actually borders Kentucky, whereas Arkansas is some way away, separated from Kentucky by Tennessee and Missouri ... Oddly the BBC and MSM completely ignored this story but loved Sarah Palins remark about seeing Russia from her state - a comment that actually made sense in context.
