Obama Again Says He Wants to ‘Export More Jobs’

Fox News is blaming the latest Obama gaffe on being rattled from last night’s debate performance.

A Rattled Obama After Debate: Let’s ‘Export More Jobs’

President Obama misspoke in a speech at Kent State Univeristy, saying “I want to see us export more jobs,” a line likely to become immediate fodder for his opponent, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Quickly realizing he made the mistake, Obama corrected himself: “I want to see us export more jobs, export more products – excuse me.”

But this is actually the second time in a little over a week that the President said he wanted to ‘export jobs’.

In Kent, Ohio on the 27th, this happened:

At a rally at Kent State University in Ohio, President Obama accidentally came out in favor of outsourcing before quickly correcting himself. “I want to see us more jobs —export more products, excuse me,” Obama said. “I was channeling my opponent there for a moment.”

Being the second time he has said this, does this mean we’ve graduated from simple gaffe to Freudian slip?
