This was not just misspeaking this was total confusion. He also said democratic contenders, I'm sorry but he is suggesting that Osama is running for election on the democratic side. Do we need any more examples of this kind of discourse. I and my candidates are not terrorists. I don't want an apology, I just want this group of propogandists to go away. I don't have an idea for jihad, the terrorists do, misspoke my eye. MITT is saying democrats are the problem when it is OSAMA BIN LADEN who is leading jihad.

Is Mitt Romney criticizing the Democratic candidates on foreign policy when he cannot tell the difference between Barack Obama and Osama Bin Laden while giving a speech? Mitt Romney is intitled to his opinion but if he wants to become president he needs to start offering solutions to the problems at hand. His solution for improving our foreign policy, health care, etc, is not Barack Obama and until he offers his own solution to these issues, criticizing the other candidates will not solve these problems either.

"Oh Dubya, Where Art Thou?". Just what we need, another lame-brained President who only opens his mouth to switch feet. Talk about Mis-speak!Fantasyland? I'd say the Deomocrats would know what one is, having been in the audience (with the rest of America) of the Republican Fantasyland for the last seven years. So he thinks Bin Laden is a Democrat? And all this time, I thought he was a Republican.

If it truly were a slip of the tongue, I hope Obama doesn't make a big deal out of it. Our country keeps entering into misguided debates about this stuff. Rather, if I were Obama, I would take this time to reiterate his stance on pursue Osama in Pakistan in the face of criticism from Hillary Clinton and the GOP candidates.

Whoops...

The apology is a good step but it illustrates just how hard conservatives are working to get people to think 'Osama' when they hear 'Obama'.

I don't believe that this is an honest mistake, it's deliberate. Mitt Romney is a MORON. The bigotry of the Mormon is beyond me. These is the same sect that thinks that Slavery is a result of Noah cursing one of his sons, whose descendants eventually became black and eventually became slaves.

If Mitt cannot correctly name the person who led the attack on us on 9/11, I surmise that he wlll not be trying to find Osama bin Laden if he is elected (he'll be looking in the wrong places for the wrong man).
President Bush's legacy of looking in all the wrong places will be carried on by the Republican Party.
Still the same.

Willard 'Mitt' Romney managed to dodge the draft during the Viet Nam era.
Willard Romney's five sons have decided not to join the 'War on Terror' by enlisting in the armed services.
Yet, Willard has no problem sending others to their death.

I doubt that Willard's tongue slipped.
It's a Republican smear.
Maybe he'll apologise and flip-flop on this issue too.

Hey Mitt:

When are you going to apologize to Sen. Obama for your "Pete Stark" moment! I'm surprized Rep. Boehner hasn't introduced a "sense of Congress" resolution demanding you apology. What a political double standard!

The truth is Democrats can take the heat, it is RepubliCANTS you cry and whine on every little offense. Grow up!

As I mentioned before, if Gw had honored his words to this nation just shortly after 911,none of us, including Mitt, would be having to listen to Osama's rants. Please stop quoting, or trying to quote Osama. It just reminds us all how this administration has failed to hold account the one person responsible for 911 to account.

Gun, SLC — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 17:47:13 GMT

Here's a response from Obama campaign. I love it!!!

From NBC's Mark Murray
Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton issues this statement about Romney mixing up Obama's and Osama bin Laden's names today: "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. It's time to end the divisiveness and fear-mongering that is at the heart of Gov. Romney's campaign."

Whoops...

Gary, Franklin, WI — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 17:53:52 GMT

I agree with your analysis, but I think the better comparison for Mitt and Rudy is Sen. Larry Craig. All three have a hard time admitting their true feelings.

Carrie, Elkridge, MD — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 18:08:41 GMT

Class Warrior -

While I can't argue with your statement that Romney is an idiot, I think we need to remember that we are NOT "Democratic" states and "Republican" states.

We are the United States of America.

If anyone started bombing states, I don't think there is any American who would say, "Well, it's just a republican state, so who cares."

While the politicians are doing their best to have us think in those terms, the unity needed in this country is going to have to come from all of us, being careful in how we use language and ideas to influence each other.

No votes yet and you predict the future without any facts. Sounds like you are working in the white house, they do that thing all the time. Here is my prediction-any democrat will do better than the boy king and uncle dickie, dems will vote in droves and repubs will be so sick of candidates without ideas and sit home and watch desperate housewives or dancing with the stars, george and dick masks will do well this halloween, a drunken hollywood party girl will get more press than bush in the coming months, fema will help in the britney debacle giving millions to cover her court costs. phil spector will run on the third party ticket, chertoff will be found to be a real vampire, Ronnie Raygun will still be dead, they will kill off VP and put Jenna in the office or Jeb or jebs son or daughter.

Mitt Rommney wouldn't know who Osama Bin Laden was if he walked up to him and said I'm Barak Obama. He is just a polished new car salesman who wants a larger desk in the oval office. So much for awareness on the world stage of international affairs. He is not stupid but that remark was or was it?

I can't believe how bigoted and vicious most of the remarks in here are regarding Mormonism and Mitt Romney. God help our poor country when there are so many fools who are quick to judge others, and quick to find fault. It makes one think that our country is truly going to hell in a handbasket, when this is coupled with the evidence of our corrupt and degraded popular media (TV and movies, pervasive porn, broken families) and our unfortunate society in general is rotting from within. Our children are bombarded with garbage from their peers and from the "popular" media. Our government cannot survive if the society doesn't practice honesty and love for their fellow man. Mormons in general are decent, honest people, and without such people our society is doomed. You who are quick to judge and condemn others, take the time to take a good honest look at yourselves and also the person(s) you are condemning before making a knee-jerk reaction based on your biased and bigoted desires. You believe what you choose to belief about others. You condemn because that somehow makes you feel better about yourself, just like the immature bullies we all grew up with.

My 86-year-old Dad can't pronounce alot of surnames but he doesn't want to lead this country. Anyone who's been watching/reading the news the past 6 years ought to be able to say Osama bin Ladin with no problem. Either this was a deliberate attempt to harm Obama's campaign or Mitt Romney's stupid. Come on people, it's as simple as that.
