Vice President Joe Biden had a couple minor gaffes Sunday in Ohio.

He's mistakenly referred to "President Clinton" instead of "President Obama."

Biden told a crowd of 1,200 people at Lakewood High School that a Republican ad claiming Jeep will move jobs out of Ohio was "pernicious," and a sign that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is desperate to win the state.

The gaffe-prone Biden said the ad claims "President Clinton bankrupted Chrysler so that Italians could buy it to ship jobs overseas to China."

Earlier in the day, in a conversation inside a Cleveland diner, Biden referenced Slovakia and his role in convincing President Clinton to go after former Serbian President Slobodan Milosovic.

He was presumably referring to Slovenia, the nation that formed part of Yugoslavia before it broke up into several independent countries.

In addition, Biden recently referred to Virginia's Democratic Senate candidate Tim Kaine as "Tom" and complained to an Ohio audience about TV ads "here in Iowa."

Biden, who also is known for going off script, did not correct himself on Sunday and the crowd at the high school outside Cleveland appeared not to notice.
