Obama Corrects 'Obama bin Laden' Slip
April 14, 2008 2:52 PM
ABC News' Sunlen Miller and Cullen Dirner Report: Sen. Barack Obama quickly corrected a slipup about his name Monday at the Associated Press' annual luncheon in Washington, DC.
Dean Singleton, board chair of the Associated Press and a longtime newspaper executive, asked Obama about the possibility of shifting troops into Afghanistan to fight against the al Qaeda leader.
"Can you imagine shifting a substantial number of Afghanistan -- a substantial number to Afghanistan where the Taliban has been gaining strength and Obama Bin Laden is still at large?" Singleton asked
Obama, clearly a bit agitated, quickly interrupted him, “I think that was Osama bin Laden,” the Democratic candidate said, and then took a big gulp of water from the glass next to the podium.
Singleton quickly apologized.
"If I did that I'm so sorry," he said.
“No, no, no, this is part of the -– part of the exercises that I’ve been going though over the last fifteen months,” Obama said, “Which is why it’s pretty impressive that I’m standing here.”

I'm starting to wonder of Hillary has "gotten to him"...one way or another. That's a lot of slips at one crack....
Maybe she's calling him at 3 AM every night??

Have you noticed that many liberals’ apologies begin with the subordinate conjection “if”?

What exercise is Barry Hussein talking about? He acts as though the media has been treating him unfairly.I'm also real surprised he made it this far but it has nothing to do with the media. I'm more surprised that there are so many Americans who are still too stupid to see through the phoniness of a stuck up lying sack of puss.
