Gee, I’m sorry about that, Osama...errr...Obama.

[Kolokotronis]

“...warned that Republicans would try to “make me into this foreign, clearly black person, and to scare you”.”

Well, that and there’s that Mohammedan stuff too. :)

[phrogphlyer]

I thought Teddy Kennedy did it first.

[SIDENET]

Whatever you say, Osama.

[Ladysmith]

Pretty thin-skinned for a presidential candidate...

[festus]

Ok we’ll just call him Hussein from now on..................

[dynachrome]

“No problem, Hussein.”

[phrogphlyer]

Kennedy video

[Argus]

Okay from now on we’ll just call you Hussein so there’s no confusion.

[xcamel]

LOL ... He did.

[highimpact]

Funny, I don’t remember any outcry from “Osama bin Osama bin Laden OBama” when Ted Hic-Kennedy made the same slip of the tongue.

[Tribune7]

But is it OK to call Osama, Obama?

[Argus]

Great minds, separated by mere seconds.

[Vigilanteman]

First of all, I can't remember the empty suit complaining when Ted Kennedy made the exact same slip of the tongue.

Second of all, Obama is white. He just happened to have an African sperm donor. He was raised mainly by rich, white grandparents after his "Daddy" split at age two and his mommy proved incapable of holding a second marriage together or raising a kid on her own. He's very fortunate that his Mommy's parents were both rich and willing to do her job.

But he has yet to write a book about them or even give them an honorable mention in the book he wrote about his invisible father.

Sen. Kennedy was one of the first to call Obama, "Osama".

KENNEDY: "Why don't we just ask Osama bin -- Osama Obama -- Obama what -- since he won by such a big amount."

Then CNN followed:

[dynachrome]

Indeed. Gotta be quick on FR!

[imskylark]

Not a word when Ted Kennedy did it.

[ElkGroveDan]

Sorry. Don’t want to offend Yo Mama, Obama

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

What does Mass have in their WATER, Teddy Kennedy made the same mistake?:}
