AP luncheon questioner says: 'Obama Bin Laden is still at large'
I expect the RW Noise machine to do this sort of thing. Wolf correctly says in his lead in that:
Blitzer: Senator Obama is used to having his name mangled and his ties to the Muslim world questioned. But today it was literally in his face. At an "Associated Press" luncheon right here in Washington, Obama was asked a question about Osama bin Laden. Listen closely to how the questioner mispronounced the fugitive al Qaeda leader's name.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Can you imagine shifting a substantial number of Afghanistan -- a substantial number to Afghanistan? For the Taliban has been gaining strength and Obama bin Laden (sic) is still at large.
OBAMA: I think that was Osama bin Laden.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If I did that, I'm so sorry.
OBAMA: No, no, no. This is part of -- part of the -- part of the exercise that I've been going through over the last 15 months, which is why it's pretty impressive I'm still standing here.
He showed good humor, but you see how the machine has worked its magic?
And what about the so-called "liberal" media? These newspaper editors were openly hostile to the Democratic presidential candidate while very accommodating to his republican counterpart.
Liberal media my *ss!
Hey troublesome names build character. I have a girl's name and so I'm attuned to the evil that men do.
I wanted the entire press conference. Obama hit it out of the park each time.
dirtycoast.com
Waiting for the next 'slip' of the 'boy with a finger on the button' sort- will it be 'Hitlery' or 'Mr. Osama', or Macaca?
i think obama's response to the pitiful flub was spot on.
when is hillary going to start "accidentally" screwing up his name?
that was mighty kkk of him....
sharkcellar @ 2:
sue?
The 'unidentified male' is Dean Singleton, chairman of the AP's board of directors and head of Denver-based MediaNews Group.
Too bad we couldn't see the Unidentified Male. You could probably have seen Karl Rove's hand moving his mouth.
time for another mission accomplished banner.
John, O'Bama has been given to great opportunities.
1) A chance to force Clinton into the McCain camp by not allowing her - rhetorically - back on his side.
2) A chance to use his name - O'Bama - as a litmus test to identify those that either see him as a moslem or those that have been indoctrinated or those that mean him mischief.
It's called Brainwashing. The more you repeat the propaganda the sooner the repetition becomes effective at replacing a persons original perspective.
Commercials work the same way basically. And of course have the advantage of visual stimulation.
Please identify the 'unidentified male' so he can join the others, hoisted by their own petards, as they are.

In all fairness the AP has always been a fairly conservative outlet.
Which is fine and all, most news organizations have some sort of political slant. In Europe for example, is still common for people to buy 3 or more newspapers a day, because people know and understand that each publication is either slightly leftist or slightly conservative (or full on if the case may be). In order to get the full picture, you have to look at the different biases.
And I respect that, because the press doesn't make bones about their bias.
The problem I have is that the American media tries to pretend they are unbiased, which in the case of FOX for example their blatant bias and patent attempts at sell the idea of "independent reporting" is nothing sort of insulting.
Also it is part of the intellectual dishonesty, which seems to be an integral MO for the right wing in this country for the better part of the last century. This is, right wingers want to have it both ways: control the message and the media, while at the same time pretend to be the victims of unfair bias by the media they actually control. They want to be the bullies and yet get the "perks" of being the victim.
Sickening to say the least, too bad there are waaaay too many uneducated morons in this country who fail for it. That is what makes it the saddest IMHO.
TheToonGuy @ 9:
But wouldn't that mean Rove's arm is ... ewww... no wonder Jeff Gannon got to go to the White House so much. I bet Karl misses him.
The "UNIDENTIFIED MALE" is the freakin' chairman of the Associated Press.
Mistake, my foot.
I'm an Obama supporter, and I watched this at the crack of dawn on CSPAN this morning... I really think it was an honest slip of the tongue. I mean, Obama was the man in the spotlight, and Osama was part of the subject matter... in context, that's an easy flub to make. I don't think this was intentional.
Having said that, Obama's response was spot on and classy as always.
His name is OBAMA, why do you use O’Bama. What subterfuge do you have afoot?
Well, he is part Irish and the vast majority of US presidents have been of Irish descent (mostly Scots-Irish.)
Alice Hussein @ 18:
The questioner was tongue-tied throughout the question so I don't think it was deliberate.
But this is what I like so much about Obama. They call McCain teflon but he's not. The press is giving him a free ride. Obama doesn't have that luxury as his every statement is picked apart and scrutinized. His every association is guilt thereby.
But Obama is not letting anything stick. He's extremely good on his feet - a sign of high intelligence. He thinks quickly and decisively which is exactly why I think he'll be a great president.
Not even Slick Willy played the political game as well as Obama. Obama never comes across as too slick.
What a blessing to have an intelligent, quick-witted candidate that doesn't respond with pre-digested sound bites designed for the feeding the msm.

nice work doug, dean singleton is a bumbling baffoon
and here is some info on MediaNewsGroup:
The nation's fourth-largest newspaper company is using a regional consolidation strategy to break the backs of local unions and lay off journalists and other staff.
Media News Group (MNG) -- the national chain that owns 57 daily newspapers, regionally "clustered" throughout California, the Mountain West and the Northeast -- solidified its control over Bay Area news by buying up the Contra Costa Times and the San Jose Mercury News in the wake of Knight-Ridder's recent fire sale.
With the move, MNG now owns every daily newspaper in the region except the San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner.
It's trying to use this leverage to break the back of unions and jettison editorial staff.
democracy, the victim of media consolidation

You do have a good point there. If everyone responded like Osama does to this crap the Cons wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Didn't Bin Laden used to be called "Usama?" And wans't that changed for fear that people would find a connection in USA and "USAma?"
@37 - Education isn't just going to school. Education is becoming less ignorant. Anyone can regurgitate information to get a paper to get a job. Some people actually try to learn things.
Barack Obama is the only person in this whole pathetic exercise with any class. I wonder why he even bothers to have anything to do with these morons (which includes all of us in this terminally wounded country).
I don't know. It could be stage fright.

I'm a Clinton supporter. Correction, I was. After Obama got attacked for not wearing a american flag pin on his clothes and called unpatriotic, he answered in such a intelligent and well mannered response that I was instantly impressed. He didnt attack. Again I see that same intelligent man give a great response, he didnt attack the person calling him Osama, he just very politely makes a statement that doesnt insult anyone. That is class and a true elite. As Jon Stewart said...dont we want an elite person? Someone who can do the job? Someone not a damn drinking buddy like frat boy bush (look what he did). Obama has class all the way through, and I cant think of a better person to be president after America's darkest 8 years.

But your point is taken.
The uneducated hillbillies that pollute the country by
the millions will call him Osama because Limbaugh does.
We are a sick dumb country that will elect McCain & have
eight more years of squawking about phony wars, health
care, the economy Blah, Blah Blah. I will call Obama, Osama
because I was for Hillary & vote for McCain because that's

getalife @ 54:
Thats exactly the reason we are spending more effort preparing for a McCain pResidency then an Obama or Hillary one.
At least with a Dem administration we can expect more talk and direction towards domestic issues then constantly being bombarded about how the Middle East is more important then our own country.

I was thinkin pretty much the same thing recently...this man is EXACTLY what our country needs.
tyree @ 37:
Like George "gentelman-C" Bush, and Dick "dropout" Cheney? The neo-con elite for sure they are "assholes," however.... "educated" I am not so sure.
In any case, the uneducated idiots, who fight those wars and are all to happy to give those assholes their hard earned money, are the ones who enable the fore mentioned assholes.
So education has everything to do with everything in this context.
An educated populace is harder to coerce into voting against their own interests. Ever wonder why the GOP has waged a literal war on education for the better part of the past half century? Even the first thing that RayGun did as gov of California was to almost destroy the UC system. Which it is still reeling a few decades later.
To be fair, the first time I heard someone refer to him as "Osama" was from Ted Kennedy. He immediately apologized for his gaffe, but that's all it was. It's an easy mistake to make when you have to very well known people with a very similar name.
Obama Would "Immediately Review" Potential Bush Administration Crimes :
Yeah, he talks about it trying to get votes but this blog and the ACLU are actually doing something besides talking.
Har, har. We're dealing with a bunch of first graders in the right wing.
tyree @ 52:
... and that is why you are posting said "shit" on a blog, right?
I support Obama. And, I caught myself making a similar gaff. Yes, sometimes it's going to be on purpose by the GOP, etc. But, sometimes it will be innocent. The guy has a similar name. So what? Move on.
sulphurdunn @ 39:
Would that were the truth. I actually saw Obama's Democratic colleague Dick Durbin make the same substitution during a Senate hearing last year, and he's Illinois's other senator.
This is off-topic, but I was out of town for a few days and so didn't get to weigh in on the 'bitter/elitist" stuff.
Obama responded correctly about decades in Washington making one out of touch, but I am still waiting for him to go after McCain on which party is elitist:
Rmemeber Bush's cutesy "haves and have mores are my base" crap?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn4daYJzyls
Let's have at it. Who are the elitists here? I think Obama could have a rhetorical field day with this. "if you are worried about who I'll represent in Washington, let me tell you who... And now let me tell you who John McCain will represent..."

JC @ 56:
And that's probably one thing the right wing will attack. Obama is too nice. He'll be weak on defense.
The fact is he has an awesome defense. How else can anyone explain how he hasn't even received a flesh wound yet?
And anyone with half a brain would rather have diplomacy than war. Of all the candidates running, only Obama is showing any kind of diplomatic skills. Not only did he not take offense to the guy mashing his name, he told the guy don't worry about - not a problem buddy.
Half the world hates us now because Bush thinks being a man means talking tough and then backing up your words. I would agree with him if the tough talk were necessary but he just gets off on threatening people and turning them against us when they were otherwise pretty much oblivious to us or even our friends.
I would put money on Obama being able to reach a diplomatic solution with nearly every Middle Eastern country that we now consider either hostile towards us or our outright enemy.
And the right will continue to try to sabotage that progress just to prove they're right about the other country and hopefully provoke new wars.
The right wing IS without a doubt the worst enemy of this country. Without them we would still have a lot of problems but one of those problems wouldn't be the rest of the world hating our guts.

It is a logical progression of events to accomplish the greatest good. To accomplish things that the CRIME REGIME of George Bush would not dare even imagine. Such as their own accountability.

I don'y think that any of the Osama 'slips' are slips at all. Murdoch is now on the AP board. Media outlets are bought and sold. Barack Hussein Obama was never my first choice, but he has nailed my support lately. He is way too smart for these old white dumb bastards.

Thats exactly right. And look at McClatchy who's basically bankrupt but owns a lot of U.S. newspapers. What is the purpose of an editorship and board in Sacramento doing controlling the local news of Tacoma, Ft. Worth, etc. They don't live in any of these places and don't have a clue as to what people want.
Whether it was an honest slip of the tongue or not (he DID seem pretty nervous while speaking), Obama's response is key here: he could have chosen to get angry, preachy, or any other variety of understandable but counterproductive reactions.
Instead, he firmly corrected the error right off the bat, broke out into a broad smile to indicate that he wasn't seething inside...and then moved on. That's presidential. Not someone who takes the bait and gets pissy about it.

The Red Menace won't make it to our soil. I know that because I understand a little bit about what it takes to make war and that's boots on the ground (unless you just nuke the place into wasteland from a distance but then being in Alabama won't make a difference).
So to get boots here you need these things called "troop transports." They are usually big, slow ships or big, slow airplanes. I like to call the "sitting ducks" or "targets." In other words, they won't make it halfway across the ocean before they're on the ocean floor.
Now I suppose they could try to build really big troop-transporting subs, but they won't get here either.

Yeah fool, I get it. Sean Hannity has a new poll out now, huh Johnny? There are conflicting polls circulating. Hillary doesn't appear to be getting the negative bump you were praying for Johnny. One good thing is that you "progressives" have another week to make up the next "outrage". Hillary/McCain 08.
Okay. After rereading that comment of mine above...yikes! "The American public" aren't "falling for the Rovian Tactics anymore." "Come November...they will be" proven "wrong." Sheesh...
The 28 percenters will go for that shit. I don't know about the majority of the country. Most people realize it was Bush bin Laden that let his blood brother Osama bin Laden get away, not Barack Obama.

pretty good analsis, say isnt the largest standing army in red china????????????and isnt the secondest largest army bogged down in iraq ,afganistan, germany , korea, and havent i heard we dont have the capeability to airlift our troops out of these places no capability of sea lifting them either , so i dont think id put much stock in being saved by used up troops!

So typical. Throw dumb shit all over the place and then run away like a little girl with a jump rope.

Remember - small, fast missiles (we've got 'em by the boatload) take out big troop transports. No troops required.
Anyway, why is China trying to invade us? They already own us. What do we have left for them to take? The Grand Canyon?
CafeenMan @ 148:
how about your food supplys? your factorys , land is what china needs anybodys land , besides they hate our guts ! just because we owe them money doesnt mean theyll get it!
tyree - I've seen a lot of your posts and while I don't remember any of them I also don't remember thinking of you as a whacko. Please stop pretending to be nuts, ok?
China is not going to invade the US. The right wing is our only real enemy at the moment. The sooner they are defeated the sooner we'll be in a better position to handle other threats. Get it yet?
