Obama Corrects ‘Obama bin Laden’ Slip
abc news
Sen. Barack Obama quickly corrected a slipup about his name Monday at the Associated Press’ annual luncheon in Washington, DC.
Dean Singleton, board chair of the Associated Press and a longtime newspaper executive, asked Obama about the possibility of shifting troops into Afghanistan to fight against the al Qaeda leader.
“Can you imagine shifting a substantial number of Afghanistan — a substantial number to Afghanistan where the Taliban has been gaining strength and Obama Bin Laden is still at large?” Singleton asked
Obama, clearly a bit agitated, quickly interrupted him, “I think that was Osama bin Laden,” the Democratic candidate said, and then took a big gulp of water from the glass next to the podium.
Singleton quickly apologized.
“If I did that I’m so sorry,” he said.
“No, no, no, this is part of the -– part of the exercises that I’ve been going though over the last fifteen months,” Obama said, “Which is why it’s pretty impressive that I’m standing here.”
After the event, an embarrassed Singleton could be heard off camera, but on microphone, telling an unidentified man: “Can’t believe I did that. I didn’t think I did. But he said it so I assumed I did. So, certainly wasn’t on purpose.”

“Which is why it’s pretty impressive that I’m standing here.”
Obama sure is impressed with himself. haha
Ted Kennedy started it. Why doesn’t Barack-ack-ack-ack-ack echo sound) complain to him.
Here is the time Kennedy did it:
And look at this one.
He KNOWS he did it on purpose.
Obama bin Laden–HEE HEE HEE!!!
Singleton got to him.
Oh well, grow up, Obamanation.
I use his middle name everytime I mention him. His middle name Hussein is significant. It shows he comes from a muslim background.
Hurrah for Singleton!!! Hussein, thin skinned eh? Osama-Obama, has a nice rhyme to it. Yep, he’s going to go over and talk old Bin Laden into surrendering. More likely Hussein will grant a presidential pardon if he gets elected. I think of him as a muzzie Humpty Dumpty, I’m just waiting for that splat on the floor from a fall. Wishful thinking here.
Whats the difference.Obama or Osama samey-same. They are both moslems. And they both talk like a man with a paper A$$hole.
Lynn, yes heh heh Singleton did get to him. haha
Tom,good, I hope people don’t stop using it and fall into line with his baloney and lies and demands about his middle name.
Jack, LOL oh I LOVE the sound of that…..
“waiting for that splat on the floor from a fall”
Mark, he could let it go and laugh it off but he is turning these things into being picked on……..I hope more and more of this kind of thing happens.LOL He deserves no respect form me at all. I can’t stand the guy.
A tv show for Obama,Sanford and son, Obama is
Lamont, Fred is the Rev. Wright and Aunt Ester is
Obamas wife…Fits like a glove…
I wonder if Osama bin Laden was offended too being mistaken for Barack Hussein Obama an infidel who abandoned Islam and Allah for the Trinity United Church of Christ and Jeremiah Wright.
Tincan Sailor, LOL very funny.
Les, haha probably, what will be ok with the terrorists is how Obama wants to talk and not shoot them.
