President Obama, who has expressed his fears about his daughter Malia becoming a teenager next month, is apparently dreading her birthday so much that for a brief moment on Wednesday, he thought she had already turned 13.

At a press conference at the White House, Obama suggested that his daughters, who "generally finish their homework a day ahead of time," could serve as role models for members of Congress.

"Malia's 13, Sasha's 10," the president said, even though 12-year-old Malia still has a few days to go until her July 4 birthday. "It is impressive. They don't wait until the night before. They're not pulling all-nighters. They're 13 and 10."

Bachmann and Palin are ripped apart by the media for even the slightest of gaffes, something tells me Obama will get a pass on this one, call it a hunch
