OSAMA DISMISSED
Reuters - the creative geniuses who earlier brought us the people of the bleaching - can’t tell their Obamas from their Osamas:
Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama bashed rival Hillary Clinton over the ailing U.S. economy on Wednesday ...
“We believe it’s next to impossible for Senator Clinton to close that pledged delegate count,” said David Poufs, Osama’s campaign manager.
The New York senator dismissed Osama’s criticism over the economy, saying his plans fell short on extending health care to all Americans ...
(Via Dylan Kissane, who forwards a screen grab lest Reuters bleach their error)
So, they can’t tell their people apart.
I can’t differentiate between them either.

That’s a sound policy decision, and I feel he could gain real traction in the wider community if he runs this line for the remainder of the campaign. It’d help if he ran this campaign from South Georgia Island in the Falklands too.
It’s going to be a year of typo and spell-check fun!

The real SORRY began with the Sydney Olympics when the leftie bureaucrats insisted that Ms Freeman light the fire. The TRIPLE gold medallist from the previous Australian Olympics in ‘56, Betty Cuthbert should have done it. I was embarrassed at the time and I’m ashamed (sorry) now.
And this is no reflection on Freeeman herself.
You say “Osama”
I say “Obama”
Lets call the whole thing off!Posted by daddy dave on 2008 02 15 at 07:45 AM • permalinkHmmm, well, I’ve never seen Obama and Osama in the same room at the same time, have you? I’m not making any judgments by saying this; I’m only reporting the facts.
Posted by Mr. Bingley on 2008 02 15 at 07:46 AM • permalinkHow on earth can they gracefully recover from a mistake like that? They can hardly just fix it and pretend it never happened, can they?
#5 Evil Pundit is right - it’s going to be a fun lead-up to the election!
Posted by spot_the_dog on 2008 02 15 at 07:53 AM • permalinkWhen I was in the States last year, I heard a ditty on Rush Limbaugh’s talk show, it was (I think) supposed to be Teddy Kennedy and he was mixing up Obama and Osama as well…? Any of the Yanks here know the one I’m thinking about?
Posted by spot_the_dog on 2008 02 15 at 07:58 AM • permalinkThis Reuter’s reporter is racist. He/she thinks all Muslims look and sound the same.
Maybe Obama is Osama undercover.
Posted by The Best Infidel on 2008 02 15 at 08:13 AM • permalinkObama = Osama
Therefore, b = s.
It’s all just bs.
Posted by The Best Infidel on 2008 02 15 at 08:15 AM • permalinkOT, but I suspect Andrew Bolt reads this site.
Posted by flying pigs over mecca on 2008 02 15 at 09:11 AM • permalinkI don’t know what you are all on about, things are more similar than you may think:
Been a Muslim at some stage (tick)
People are not quite sure of what you really intend to do (tick)
Make a lot of bold plans though there is doubt you can carry things through (tick)
Use the Media as a tool (tick)
Loved by the Left (tick)
Likely to Fuck America at some stage (tick)#10:

Yeah, it was Teddy - “Why don’t we just ask Osama bin…Osama Obama…Obama what…uh, since he won by such a big amount. Seriously, Senator Obama is really unique and special.”
Oh come on. This is Reuters. Reuters! That paragon of journalistic ethics. They’re reliable.
They were informed from a very reputable source in Beirut that Obama goes by Osama too. It’s an African custom. It means “white man brought up in Hawaii by a white family but can be black if it gets him elected”.

Posted by Sonetka's Mom on 2008 02 15 at 11:39 AM • permalinkNuthin’ to see here, folks.
It just establishes that Reuters uses Microsoft Word with “autocomplete” turned on. Type a capital “O”, and it automagically completes it “Osama (MHNBP)”. In a fairly long piece that sort of thing can be worse than typos, impossible to find them all.
We’ll just have to live with it. They can’t turn it off; they’d never finish their stories at all if they didn’t have “Zionist oppressors”, “trusted source within Hamas”, “American atrocities”, and similar noncontroversial boilerplate set up with one- or two-key macros.

RicThe death throes of the Hillary for President are not pretty to watch. Witness what may be the final nail in the coffin.
Yea - I reckon this lady is confused as well
