Did He Say "Lantern?"

Did I just hear Barack Obama say in a speech today that Kato was with the "Green Lantern?!" Maybe this is too much of a get-a-life-trivia moment but Kato was in the "Green Hornet" stories. For someone who's supposed to be a "pop-itician" he sure needs to get his facts straight. Maybe the heavy smoking is starting to get to him.
