And yes, I read the longer context of the quote. I also saw saw Steph try to help bail him out. But without that help, then the longer context (which does seem to reveal what Obama must have been thinking) doesn't appear to have been coming & it leaves BHO saying something that really doesn't seem like a wise comment to put on the table.

Trust me, if he's even got two brain cells to bump together, he'd say his choice of words was a mistake. Or maybe even a miscue.

I think he did mean to say it, leaving "or lack thereof" implied. I think Steph's interruption just highlighted it to the point where, yes, he will have to say his choice of words was a mistake. But if given time to talk about it in detail, he should be able to boil it down to something so boring and semantic that it will look ridiculous.
