>>>> I think Barak Obama should change his name to Abe Lincoln Redux. That's who he really thinks he is.

Good one! I get the same impression. Obama ain't no Lincoln. He ain't no Jefferson Smith either.

I guess Senator Barack Hussein Obama is forever cursed to be confused as Osama's and Saddam's unfortunate love child.

"Very kind and magnanimous of Lord Saint Obama to wave his magisterial wand and forgive a news organization for a typo"

But he did put CNN on notice that if they tease him about his ears then he's going to rescind his acceptance of their apology. /s

Why the Republican Party does not seize on the historical fact that Honest Abe Lincoln was a Republican is truly astonishing.

Public Relations is AWOL in the GOP.

Every Republican, on every occasion, should preface any reference to Abraham Lincoln, even the penny, the tunnel, the memorial, with a reference to his Republican heritage, starting with this post about REPUBLICAN ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Tommy Vietor, Obama's press secretary, said he appreciated the bloggers and activists who brought the error to light so quickly and helped make sure it was corrected.

“Though I'd note that the 's' and 'b' keys aren't all that close to each other, I assume it was just an unfortunate mistake, and don't think there was any truly malicious intent,” Vietor said.

Was it an accident or intentional, who knows?

Innis is a class act. He pre-emptively joked, "Guess they thought I was a rapper", thereby preventing anyone losing their job.

He had a perfect chance to hoist MSNBC on it's own liberal petard, yet he realized someone's living was more important.

Talking about CNN's blunders, some Oriental female announcer earlier today referred to "Bush's casket" when she should have said "Ford's" - I waited a minute or two but she at least up to that point didn't correct herself.

Obama is just part of it..."Barack" basically means blessed by Allah in Arabic. But the MSM will not report that.

What happened was; the tech person in charge of typing those graphics has been writing the name "Obama" over and over in his copy-book for the past several months and his brain has been conditioned.
The graphics guy has the same school-girl crush on Obama that the rest of the people at that network do.

Hillary's friends at CNN are behind this, IMO.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Barack may have to change his last name to avoid confusion. While he's at it, he should drop Hussein.
