I have previously posted about Barack Obama's various verbal misspeaks - 57 stats etc. and how the BBC just are not interested in the sort of misspeaks that they loved to report when made by George W. Bush. So I was not surprised to learn of this latest example and even less surprised not to see it on the BBC.
It was during a speech at the Summit of the Americas in Colombia that Barack Obama decided to call the Falklands by their Spanish name 'Malvinas', unfortunately he instead called them the Maldives, which is a group of atolls off of the south coast of India.No interest at the BBC either in his misspeak or the fact that a US President tried to side with the Argentinians over their ridiculous claim on the Falklands.

Well spotted, thanks for sharing.
