This was no gaffe. It accurately reflects the perception of Barry's fan club.

ABC News' Sara Just reports: Journalists who were awake until the wee hours waiting for confirmation that Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., was indeed Barack Obama's running mate, cannot be blamed if their hearing is a little fuzzy today.
But after today's Obama-Biden speeches to a massive crowd in Springfield, Ill., many reporters are rolling back the tape and asking each other, "Did he really say that?"
When introducing his running mate, Obama said, "So let me introduce to you the next president - the next vice president of the US of America, Joe Biden."
And then when it was Biden's turn to speak, the Delaware senator called the presumptive Democratic nominee "Barack America" instead of Barack Obama.
"My friends, I don't have to tell you, this election year the choice is clear. One man stands ready to deliver change we desperately need. A man I’m proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next president of the United States, Barack America,” Biden said, per ABC News' Sunlen Miller.

DUMB and DUMBER!
The Gaffe Gold Medalists do not disappoint.
With this kind of eloquence I don’t see how they can lose. /sarcasm
LMAO! This is just the beginning. Look for many more gaffes in the future.
Idiots... and they have nerve criticizing Bush for anything... “Stupid is as Stupid Does”
Hell yeah, I just posted a Pelosi one. This election is going to be very entertaining.
This wasn’t some more of that “nuance” stuff the media is always talking about, was it?
I think the plan is for Barack America to be President of the 50 states and Joe Biden will be President of our extra 7 states that Barack America has already visited.
Oboma wimped out on the biggest change he could have made. He could have gone outside the beltway for a VP or picked a female or a minority. But he could not have picked anyone who represents the status quo more than the clean articulate typical Washington insider white guy that he picked. I'm sure the leftist who believed his "Change" BS are saying "WTF"???????
Perhaps Obama and Biden were tired from all of the previous night's and today's excitement.
On the same note, Olbermann tossed out the idea that Biden's plagiarism might have been as a result of having dropped the page with the text that gave proper attribution to the words he stole.
I kid you not.
Why can’t I wipe this silly grin off my face? It’s been there since Hotair broke the news last night, via the Weekly Standard blog, that Biden was the choice.
According to the Media and Osama’s camp when Mac Daddy John misspeaks it’s a gaffe proving he is too old to be President......................So what say you now governor..........?
This was no gaffe. It accurately reflects the perception of Barry's fan club.
The Russians, Chicoms, and Iranians must be salivating at the thought of Dumb and Dumber leading our country.
I’m surprised that Doberman Olbermann didn’t say “the dog ate it.”
I think what they had in mind was....
Barricade America!
I love the spin that Biden’s ‘experience’ will help balance Obama’s “youth”
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93902534
Since Obama balanced his relative youth with the experience of the 65-year-old Biden
ABC news. Wow.
Robinette?

Barack Hussein Obama/Joseph Robinette Biden ‘08!!!!
Since September 11, it is un-American to change your name to a muslim name. There are no muslim names that signed the Declaration of Independence nor are there any muslim names that signed the The Constitution of the United States of America. And there are no Korans in our courtrooms.
good one...
Wow...Rush won’t even have to work for his pay increase with these two running. So much material, so little time!
Sweet dreams, superdelegates....
That’s funny. Robinette is my wife’s middle name (really).
Maybe Barack America needs a side kick like Batman — Robinette?
He should change his middle name to Hussein in sympathy with BO.
