Obama arrived at Jamaica House in Kingston Thursday morning and was greeted by Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller, who he incorrectly addressed as “Madam President.”

Then came another small gaffe as he signed the guestbook, incorrectly dating his message April 10.

“It is a great pleasure to visit Jamaica, known for its beauty and the extraordinary spirit of its people,” the president wrote in the guestbook. “May the deep and abiding friendships between our nations continue for generations to come.”
