Barack Obama suffered a podium malfunction – when the the US presidential seal fell off his lectern while he was giving a speech.
“That’s all right, all of you know who I am,” he joked to the women’s conference in Washington DC.
The seal fell on to the stage half way through President Obama’s speech to Fortune magazine’s “Most Powerful Women Summit” on Tuesday night at Carnegie Mellon Auditorium.
He made light of the incident while referring to the person who had hung the seal on the lectern. “I’m sure there’s somebody back there that’s really nervous right now, don’t you think? They’re sweating bullets back there.”
