Barack Obama — live from Kansas City? Or St. Louis?
Jake Wagman
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Barack Obama is not in Denver tonight, but he did show-up on a monitor in the convention hall that indicated he was appearing live from Kansas City.

Too bad nobody reminded the candidate.

In a Show-Me slip that he may have to make up for on his next visit here, Obama told the convention audience he was with a family in St. Louis.

Oops.

But either somebody whispered in the ear of one of his children on stage, or that youngster was born to be a media consultant, because one of Obama’s two daughters gave the nominee a chance to recast his bearings.

“Daddy, what city are you in?” she asked.

“I’m in Kansas City,” he replied.

It’s a good thing for the Democrats, because that’s where Obama is scheduled to hold a rally tomorrow.
