12. No. Just a Freudian slip. He's given so many talks over the years referring to Presidents...

it'd be easy to slip up and name the wrong one.

That's different from how President Reagan was acting during his second term. It's still too early to talk about it publicly, but I think it will be settled in the future that Reagan had Altzheimer's during his second term. It was blatant. A press person would ask him a question, and he'd just look at the guy and not say anything...one time Nancy interjected and answered the question for Reagan. During Iran Contra, those times said he didn't recall...turns out he probably really didn't recall.
