Obama Bin ladin?
Obama responds to mangled speech.

[gateley]

1. He handled that beautifully and with class. nt

[spanone]

2. he's so sorry, but he said it......sob

[MethuenProgressive]

3. He did good... until he called himself impressive.

The guy reading the card looked wicked nervous, I don't think it was intentional.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

4. The guy reading the card was the chairman of the AP.

I doubt he was nervous.

[JTFrog]

5. When you're bargaining with the devil, it's hard to keep a stiff upper lip. n/t

[Chiyo-chichi]

7. He did not "call himself impressive."

But I'm not gonna break that down for 'ya.

[MethuenProgressive]

9. You didn't watch the clip?

Turn your speakers on.

[Chiyo-chichi]

19. I did indeed watch the clip and my speakers were on, thanks.

I actually listened to what he said rather than twisting it to mean something else.

But I see a couple of other posters explained that to you already.

8. He didn't call himself impressive!!!!!

10. See post 9.

15. here let me help u

hes saying its impressive his campaign is still around given that the media and others 'accidently' make that mistake all the time.

i swear, some of u grab to ANYTHING to try and insult or take down someone.

its sad, really it is.

politics is in a sad state with people like you around.

[ksquire]

14. As long as we're making stuff up...

why not say that he called himself 1337 and smarter than everyone else. he never called himself impressive, but said that it's impressive that he's still standing there.

given that someone from the AP just called him OBAMA BIN LADEN I'd say that he's absolutely correct.

[butterfly77]

6. I love it the way he responded to it...

he didn't miss a beat...This is the first time I have ever seen that happen in his presence..

[AlinPA]

11. Someone once said that by the time the GE got here the media would change his name.

[quantass]

12. Gotta give cred to Obama for handling it smoothly

[jbnow]

13. ABC wrote it as

Obama Corrects 'Obama bin Laden' Slip

Obama, clearly a bit agitated, quickly interrupted him, “I think that was Osama bin Laden,” the Democratic candidate said,

"Clearly a bit agitated"? First he didn't interrupt him, he responded at the end of the question, smiling. What he interrupted was the apology to tell him it was alright and his answer broke the tension getting a lot of laughter before applause.

Come on. Even the google mews summary of Fox's report on this was
"After a pause and a smile, he said “I think that was OSAMA bin Laden.”

You know if he was agitated they'd want to report it.

16. if?? .... If??? .... IF????

"If I said that"???

Is he kidding? Son of a bitch won't even own up to saying it 3 seconds after everyone hears him say it.

[Zachstar]

17. That was great! He diddnt get mad. He got funny about it!

Haha! Nice!!

[cyndensco]

18. Go OBAMA!!!

[raystorm7]

20. Awww, silly white folk :p

[Divine Discontent]

21. I am impressed with his response

it was measured, and still funny, and he showed great restraint in sounding disgusted by it, which I certainly am - I've YET to say his name like 'Barack Osama', or say the opposite - Obama Bin... so it's very annoying to hear so called intellectuals slip up and do this at major events, and on TV, etc..

[stlsaxman]

22. i LOVE this guy! that grin before he takes the drink is PRICELESS!

:rofl:

[texasleo]

23. If he isn't our next president, there is something fkin wrong with our country
