I wonder if he would make those "brief mixups" if he were president. Obama, don't worry. I think the Romney camp just admitted that he's not very bright.

Yeah, Mitt, you better clean that one up. You have to know the name Osama Bin Laden if you want to be president. If you mis-spoke, then correct it now.

Actually Obama's win in Illinois was not such a big deal ... he ran against someone who could not have possibly run in a state with educated people ... so it was either Obama or nothing.

He knew what he said and did it with intention, once again the Mighty Flip Flopper will do/say anything to appease those he wants to vote for him.

It's great that as we get closer and closer to election time Osama's name keeps popping up again everywhere. "oh hai guyz sorry it's been six years since 9-11 but Osama is still important and doing all kinds of crazy things with audio tapes and alien cookies, we just had to go get that dude Saddam real quick first lol. invisible WMDs very important."

I guess the truth hurts to bad Barack Hussein Obama. Phony politician, phony Christian. The people who count got your number. The one's who are always asleep and the controls love you. But your toast.

When you get down to name calling you are scared. He may believe he has reason to be fearful.

I have said it before and will say it again: Barack won the Senate primary by 32 points against a field of 6 others. He won the Senate race by 42 points. He also won every single county in the state - even the conservative ones. Romney really is phony and dumb. He's giving Mormons a really bad name.

Romney's real mature...

Obama is a lightweight crybaby, looking for sympathy from the ignorant.

Just use Obama's middle name of "Hussein" instead, so no one confuses him with a "living" terrorist.

Of course they say it on purpose. People do occasionally misspeak, of course, even the smart ones, but this "mistake" is straight out of the right-wing playbook. They think this will bring out the xenophobic bigots in America (like "Andy," above) against Barack Obama. They may be right, but not enough to make any difference.

Barack is enough of a gentlemen not to get dragged into this name-calling, which is all it is.
How many people know Romney is a Mormon. According to Homer Simpson, they are not even from this planet.

So we have Bush who sees Jesus in his dreams, and Romney who saw Him in Utah....

I strongly believe Obama is the last and best hope for peace in our lives.
I say that with all seriousness.

Ron Paul isn't that bad, either.

Everyone else is just re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic....

Barack HUSSEIN Obama has Muslim backhround so someone can mispoke (in heat of political campain roadshow). His father Barack Obama Sr was Muslim, his mother, Ann Durham (of Kansas) who divorced his father when Sen. Obama was 2 and again maried a Muslim, an Indonesian student, lived with young Barack in Jakarta when he attended school for several years. So there IS PLENTY of Mulim in Sen Obama background and "Obama-Osama" can be a slip of tonque, on top of that (we know how good in geography etc. many fellow Americans are). BTW: In his bio Sen Obama writes that as (at least) as a teen he used alcohol, marijuana and COCAINE. That seems to be TOUGHt, but again that's what some yupees on the left might find "human" on their candidate.

With Sen. Obama's midle name HUSSEIN, his father being Muslim, his mother married a Muslim twice (his father and then the above-mentioned Indonesian Muslim), with Barack Hussein Obama also for several years living and attending school in Jakarta, the capital city of the largest Muslin country in the world, being of Muslim faith himself .... can we say that we have a firts-even Muslim presidential candidate? Or first Muslim, half-black Vice President? Mr. Obama should be honest with his Muslim heritage, akknowledge it, even when we live in post a world (not inly in post 9-11 as Muslim terrorists and airplane hijackers were after Americans since the 70s) which is not necessary favorably disposed toward Islam and its too direct links between religion and laws to rule a society by.

Mistake, my foot.

Is this a swiftboating attempt? If so, it won't work.

It's hilarious that a flip-flopper like Romney can claim any sort of moral superiority over a brilliant and courageous public servant like Obama.

Romney's comment says everything about him and nothing about Obama.

Having said that, Romney owes Sen. Obama a real apology.

Go back to 1968 and look at George Romney running for President. The late Chet Huntley purportedly asked him if being a "moron" might affect his White House Race.

I'm willing to give Mitt the benefit of the doubt here so long as it doesn't happen again. As one, who after three speaking engagements a day for a week, referred to our organizations' exchange student "Protection Officer" as the "Abuse Officer", I can certainly feel for anyone in front of the public. All of us are human except, perhaps, Rush Dumbaugh. Oops, make that Limbaugh!

Mitt Romney's little Freudian slip, compounded by his disgusting photo op, tells a very troubling story about the seemingly medieval mind beneath the perfect hair. I believe Mr. Romney has some serious explaining to do, and more. The question is now legitimately raised regarding the "evolved" (it's a perfectly good word) state of his prejudicial feelings. So far, I'm not very impressed.

I don't care whether Mormon Romney apologizes or not.

His character speaks for itself and based on his character, he's not fit to be President. He's so despicable that a typical conservative would not even consider voting for him.

Perhaps if Romney was repeatedly and publicly referred to as a MORON (rather than Mormon) by his campaign opponents, it might then signal to his camp just how exceedingly childish and decidedly un-presidential-like such behavior is. The gift of perspective to such narrow minded ideology may never be attained. This man can be no leader to such a nation of differing peoples - and can never maneuver internationally beyond Bush's tailspin.
