Hey, in that YouTube bit where Obama says the fateful words that this post is about, did he say “Tundra?” Did I hear that right?

” . . . . whether you live, uh . . . in the desert, or, uh . . . the tundra . . .”

“Tundra?” Seriously, did I hear right? Does he have the U.S. confused with Siberia? Does Siberia have 57 states, or all of Russia, maybe?
