I've been waiting for someone to call Obama's bluff. I had a guy feeling for a long time about Obama and terrorist. I'm not saying they are the same, but I tihnk they are for the same goal. Mitt made the unbelievable slip yesterday, not only of mixing up Obama and Osama briefly in a sentence -- that would be understandable -- but of actually confounding their positions. Somehow he tangled in his head Osama's call for to reinvigorate the stalled jihad in Iraq and Obama's insistence that we should bug out of Iraq yesterday. "Actually, just look at what Osam - Barack Obama - said just yesterday. Barack Obama, calling on radicals, jihadists of all different types, to come together in Iraq. That is the battlefield. ... It's almost as if the Democratic contenders for president are living in fantasyland. Their idea for jihad is to retreat, and their idea for the economy is to also retreat. And in my view, both efforts are wrongheaded." On its face, the mistake is either hilarious or pathetic, but it's understandable in a weird way. First, it is not, as his spokesman later claimed, a mere slip of the tongue. A slip of the tongue is mixing up names. Suggesting the a U.S. presidential candidate is calling for Jihad in Iraq is a slip of the brain. A very weird slip for a Harvard JD/MBA universally acknowledged to be brilliant. But like so much humor, intentional or un, it is funny partly because it rests on a grain of truth. Who is mad as hell that we are in Iraq? Obama and Osama. Who would have us pull out without waiting to stabilize the country? Obama and Osama. Well, kind of. On the last point, Obama has waffled a bit, acknowledging at times that US troop presence will be needed for some time. But here's what his campaign spokesman had to say about Mitt's slip: Obama spokesman Bill Burton said, "Apparently, Mitt Romney can switch names just as casually as he switches positions, but what's wrongheaded is continuing a misguided war in Iraq that has left America less safe." Look, I give props to Obama for having opposed going in. I think he was right, in retrospect. But once we are there, the real question is when and how we get out. He appears to have no answer to this question. At least no answer with which Osama would not agree. http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2007...S00010000000001 |

Ahh there have been countless little freudian "slips" I think it's intentional to slander him, take little shots, get people to connect the two in their minds so that they won't trust him. |

Obama went to school that sympathies with Muslims. Now either he didn't learn anything in school or has a weak belief system.

Actually most of the schools do not teach radical Islam, they're like a catholic school here, do you view them to be a threat to America? Hell, I view the religious right to be a far bigger threat to democracy than Islam could hope to be. |

Well theres a lot of Catholic people in America. I am also catholic so I guess I don't have anything to worry about if Catholics go crazy and kill non-catholics. He went ot a certain school when he was a kid. It was something that started with an M, I was at a bar and saw it on CNN. I was at a bar so I can't remember what all it said. |

It's not Catholics that are the threat. It's the evangelicals like Bush. People that have openly said that they want to gain political power to enact religious dogma into law. |

Do you really want ANY of these morons running the country? Republicans, Democrats, two sides of the same coin. We need a different coin. Vote Ron Paul (or one of the third parties; we need a change in this country) |

Except that's not Barack Obama... that's a photoshopped picture of Bin Laden. Obama's skin is way darker and the shape of his head is totally different. |
