Obama Confused U.K.’s George Osborne With R&B Star Jeffrey

For U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, the chance to give a presentation to Barack Obama was an exciting one. So it may have hurt all the more that the president repeatedly called him “Jeffrey.”

After Osborne had finished addressing leaders of the Group of Eight industrialized countries at their summit in Lough Erne, Northern Ireland, on June 18, Obama realized his mistake, according to the Financial Times, and explained that he’d got the finance minister confused with “my favorite R&B singer.”
