Obama Corrects 'Obama bin Laden' Slip

Share

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.”

The audience applauded Obama’s quick retort.

Watch the VIDEO HERE.

After the event, an embarrassed Singleton could be heard off camera, but on microphone, telling an unidentified man: "Can't believe I did that. I didn't think I did. But he said it so I assumed I did. So, certainly wasn't on purpose."

Surely that was a setup by the Obama camp to distract voters from the ongoing issues and garner sympathy. Politics as usual.

Posted by: mixed-american | Apr 14, 2008 2:57:14 PM

Classy and on point. Now that's the Obama I like to see.

Posted by: Keith | Apr 14, 2008 2:57:26 PM

lol so now the AP is in the tank for Obama. You guys are funny.

Posted by: Keith | Apr 14, 2008 2:58:32 PM

Whoa that was an obvious one. Obama's response was way too convenient.

Posted by: DCVoter | Apr 14, 2008 3:01:19 PM

I don't know why he doesn't go after Hillary in the same manner. If Obama even slips or slightly trips, she is there to push him down and wipe the floor with him. Her disgraced husband and her supporters and classless surrogates are all right there, ready to pounce another Democrat.

He, on the other hand, does not do that to her. He ALWAYS lets these stories in the news go by WITHOUT even a whisper or comment from the guy. He better slam her come Wednesday night on this Bosina stuff, the elitiest crap and other junk or he will lose my support.

Anyone with even half a brain knows, an elite person is someone who makes MORE than 100 in less than 7 years - I don't give a damn if they were the ex-president or first lady - that is still TO much money... So, he better go after her on that. He better let her know, the only one out of touch is the person that would vote against a bill that would make it easier for people to get out of debt if they so chose that method.

Therefore, she is the elite person, she made over 100 million and she voted against the common man, now she better answer to the Amer. people who is the elite person of the two. STEP IT UP OBAMA! Stop being NICE, THAT S//T DOESN'T WORK WITH GHETTO STYLE POLITICIANS AND TACTICS...........

If he can correct and comment on stupid comments such as the above, surely he can take on the POOREST MANAGED CAMPAIGN IN MODERN HISTORY and its candidate - and a campaign run by seasoned vets.....

Did everyone get that. Was the mic on loud enough. She didn't do it on purpose. Good to see he still has the water prop from the staged faintings

Posted by: geevill | Apr 14, 2008 3:06:51 PM

I saw the speech and the Q&A session.
Senator Obama was not agitated- he actually made a joke and kind of laughed it off.

These reporters are always adding there own interpretation which is biased. I don't know why they do this- it's sad most people will never get to see how genuine and down to earth Obama is. Plus, he knows how to laugh at himself.

Posted by: Nancy Kandel | Apr 14, 2008 3:07:15 PM

"clearly a bit agitated"? I was watching it and 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.

Posted by: Joyn | Apr 14, 2008 3:07:52 PM


Barack Obama himself never mentioned the name "Osama", he always say "Bin Laden". I do not know whether others have already noticed this!

I think to avoid the confusion we should also get used to say "Bin Laden"!

Posted by: Peace | Apr 14, 2008 3:08:45 PM

I think Obama is cracking up to be quite honest. This bitter-gate has damaged his campaign. You can see the stress on his face and the angst in his words.

But to be fair, this article is everything we Clinton supporters have been FURIOUS about since January.

Taking something like this and giving it national exposure doesnt help Obama and further fuels the fact he is not a mainstream american.

We Clinton supporters have put up with this type of behavior to bash Bill and Hillary for months, so part of us is GLEEFUL seeing Obama get roasted.

But mostly we object to this low kind of media mudslinging.

Obama's comment regarding small town PA is an honest comment (and truth hurts to some people....). Who knows? maybe they (people who got emotional over the comment) will vote for Hillary or maybe they will go with Obama and vote for their interest. We shouldn't make same mistake as we did in last two elections (poor white working people voting for George Bush...they got messed up badly by Bush) Let's not vote against our interest...Hillary is for rich people only!!! I hope American wake up and vote with our interest and that is voting for Obama who will stand up for everyone including middle class America!!!

Posted by: newmusicnme | Apr 14, 2008 3:12:02 PM

I'm surprised Obama didn't say that Singleton was "clinging" to "Obama bin Laden, because he lost his job in the factory. Obama you old marxist you.

Singleton will be taking a very nice vacation in the Virgin Islands next week courtesy of the Obama campaign...

There is a story in USA today interviewing people who knew obama's grandmother who said she never made negative comments about others or even swore. i think obama made that up.

Posted by: balthus | Apr 14, 2008 3:21:55 PM

Let me tell you Clinton people something, she doesn't think to much about small town American herself. The extent of her strategy was to win big states and wrap up the nomination. She doens't like small states and small towns. Give me a break. She didn't start start to visit those states and southern states until she HAD too.....

The elite stuff will come back to bite her in the arse too. She grew up wealthy and had all the advantages. She is now filthy rich. He grew up marginal with a single mother and grandparents that raised him. He is no where near weathly. He favors policies that advantage the common man, she votes against those policies..... That bankruptcy bill is but one bill that will bite her in the you know where. EL is right, she is the elite one here. This attack on him has soured many more Democrats against her.

In the end, she better BLOW HIM OUT IN ALL the remaining contest. If she doesn't no comment, no preacher, no anything will matter b/c she WILL NEVER be POTUS. EVER.

Posted by: francine | Apr 14, 2008 3:23:13 PM

This guy is so full of himself. If he loses PA by more then 10 points, he should save himself and the democratic party and step aside.

Posted by: Rich P. From Princeton, NJ | Apr 14, 2008 3:25:16 PM

E.L.....Obama has more class than the other candidates. he prefers to stick to the issues and not lower himself to personal attacks. The are a waste of energy. I think most of the people in this country are totally SICK AND TIRED of these personal attacks. We want to hear about the issues...

Posted by: cindyct | Apr 14, 2008 3:25:47 PM

Who ever says the small town talk by Obama is truth .. go get some kool aid.

Someone asked him why he is having trouble connecting with white small voters in PA?
His response was they are bitter and cling to religion, gun, anti trade, anti immigration and show hate towards people who are not like them.

He could have answered the question better. He is not perfect but will not apologize. He says heis not perfect and that is one reason he should be president, but he say his opponents are not perfect and so they cannot be elected president.

Double standard moran.

Posted by: Paul | Apr 14, 2008 3:26:12 PM

it is amazing that he is still standing with all the bias he has to overcome. This is why our country elects the least qualified candidates like George W Bush, its because we kill the real leaders with this foolishness

Posted by: Gail | Apr 14, 2008 3:26:13 PM

Cindyct, if you like hearing about the issues perhaps you should tune into Hillary. She has a real solid grasp of the issues and knows how to convey them in a clear and succinct manner.

Just gets better everyday for the Obama's. Someone needs to tell them to stop.

Kevin, I recommend you put wheels on the goal posts you keep moving. Honestly, the guy deserves to lose by 30 but the media is keeping him propped up. Cute little precious:)

Posted by: br | Apr 14, 2008 3:29:58 PM

Barack,
I can't help but think that you are being repaid by forces of Karma, for suggesting that people go duck hunting with six shooters.
========================================
Obama, no wonder the people are bitter!
No ducks on the table!
They thought they were supposed to use a six shooter to go duck hunting!
Dang, I'd be bitter too!

Posted by: cindyct | Apr 14, 2008 3:30:43 PM

I think some people may have missed out on American culture since 9/11 (at least in the south-east) where anyone with a name even remotely similar to Osama Bin Laden could be sure to receive as much ridicule as possible. If Obama seemed "too pat", it could be because he is used to dealing with these kinds of slip-ups and/or that kind of ridicule.

Posted by: Dave | Apr 14, 2008 3:31:12 PM

Kris

That's not a new quote. That's an old quote from a month ago that Michelle gave at a college. Geez, pathetic folks like you are laughable.

Posted by: Kevin | Apr 14, 2008 3:31:30 PM

It was a slip. It was handled as humor. It was handled smartly. Give him cred where due. That is called *grace*.

In September, we all have to go back to being bridge trolls, so remember what the Troll King teaches:

At the other side of the universe is the back of your head.

Posted by: len | Apr 14, 2008 3:31:49 PM

I saw this live and Obama was NOT agitated. He made a joke out of it. It's no wonder, with reporting like this, that you got the San Francisco story screwed up too.

Y'all are too funny. He SHOULD be impressed that he- a black underdog for this candidacy- has been able to run a campaign that Sen. Clinton has NOT. She is the one with the supposed experience and has made a mockery out of her campaign. So don't hate Obama or his supporters because, unlike his rival, he was PREPARED to run for the presidency.

I saw this, and I can't imagine anyone describing Obama as "clearly agitated". He didn't interrupt hiim. He merely corrected the guy and kind of laughed it off. I don't know why the press has to report everything in this breathless tone. It was a simple mistake, the guy who made it was clearly embarrassed, and Obama let it pass pretty quickly.

Posted by: Marla | Apr 14, 2008 3:35:48 PM

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when Christensen is apologizing for something that he didn't do. This man is truly the Messiah when he makes an error and other people apologize. Pathetic.

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.”

It means with all this hoopla about Osama confusion, we are behind him and that is not only me but 1.3million people that have contributed to help him get here. That I call impressive by the hugest margin. I am sure he is impressed by the people that are keeping him go strong every day in the rallies, blogs, talk shows, town halls, etc...Stop hating if you have difficulty listening or don't understand much of anything that is being said. Or, you choose to be ignorant.

I'm always impressed by Obama's abilities as a speaker. Probably because I wish our leader was a bright person.

On the other hand, I think Bush supporters ought to be embarrassed by their support of their idiot.

Give me an elitist over an idiot any day of the week.

Posted by: GeoSync | Apr 14, 2008 3:38:31 PM

A bit off topic but, what do you think Obama meant when he said "people show antipathy toward others who are not like them?"

Was he simply trying to explain why people in rural areas might not vote for him?

Posted by: br | Apr 14, 2008 3:38:34 PM

Kevin -

Never said she said it today. Actually it was in one of those "he is the one" speeches at UCLA.

Point being is the attitude and arrogance.

Cindyct - that is not the context of the speech. I don't know about you but I was informed and involved way before Senator Obama showed up in our political life. Being involved is a personal choice.

Posted by: Kris | Apr 14, 2008 3:39:40 PM

If making $109m after leaving office, ducking imaginary sniper fire, taking $800,000 from the Colombians in private and speaking against the deal in public is what makes a good Blue Collar Democrat, then we have to Vote Clinton now. If downing whiskey, and drinking mugs of beer makes a good President, vote for Hillary.

If you need someone who has no clue on the economy, has no clue on who America is fighting in Iraq, if you need someone who thinks the down turn in the economy is our fault and we must bail out ourselves. Vote the Cyborg (Sen. McCain).

If growing up in a single home, living on food stamps, paying of huge students loans for years, working with the poor for over 20 years, generating interest in politics, making mistakes and apologizing, fighting for the American people, ending the war and fighting to improve America's image abroad. Vote Obama now. He is in touch with the ordinary American and he knows what it takes to bring about the change we need in America.

So racist America hating Hussein O is already in deep doo doo and then slanders 80% of the American public. Too bad there is still 20% of the population (anti-americans) that constantly clean his mouth and butt with their tongue.
Daniel, your few pennies haven't helped Hussein that much. The real money has comes from the Oil/Pharma companies, the billionaires, along with the millions he collects through his web sites (from terrorists) in the middle east. As he said, he doesn't have to tell you who sends him the money. The blind, deaf and 'dum' democrats will never ask anyway. At least he knows the racist America haters and enemy supporters (aka traitors) well.

LA in Indiana,
Right, us sheeple people are squirming away. We're afraid that if Hillary gets the nomination that Obama supporters will not vote for her, even though Obama will direct them to. I suspect the Obama zombie nation will do whatever Obama tells them to, even if it's hunting duck with a six-shooter. ROFLLSHTMBAGTB!

If you think we're zombies, fine....you just keep looking for all the zombie support.

I can live with mccain....can you?

Posted by: LA in Indiana | Apr 14, 2008 3:50:58 PM

OMG you Obama supporters are pathetic. Just because someone will not vote for this fraud DOES NOT MEAN it is because of his SKIN COLOR. Get over it. Most people don't give rat's behind what color he is. They don't trust him!

Posted by: J | Apr 14, 2008 3:50:59 PM

"people show antipathy toward others who are not like them?"

means people are racists.

I think it is the African American people who are voting for him because he looks like him and not the whites.

Posted by: br,

Are you nuts? You think 10 points is a blow out? Please! She better beat him by huge margins in ALL of the remaining contest. She at least had better beat him by at least 15 or more in the next 4 contest. If she does not, SHE NEEDS TO GET OUT. He has set a standard and he has blown her out consistently. She now needs to do the same.

She was suppose to blow him out in the March 4th contest... Texas, ha! Four stinking points there....Listen, I'm sorry but if she can't do any better than that, she better step aside.

For you or her supporters to think he should step aside, proves you people are on crack. He has run a far better campaign than she has. If the measure of her strength and management style is in how she's run the campaign, she sure in hell won't be able to run the country.

He is NOT bowing down or out to her. Put the crack pipe down, idiots.

There are quite a few Osama's living in America and now because the name is under attack; some are using names like Joe. Folks prove how ingnorant or intolerant they are when seeking to inflame simply because of a name. Being in a diverse economy is it not beyond the realm; that an American could work for non-American company and it would be ashamed to think that say a company from Japan would select folks based on a name.
Also the way we are having such a field day if many non-American companies will select some other country.Think about it.

BR, he actually said that, trying to put down Clinton. Of course, McCain's campaign has already announced that Obama doesn't even know that you don't go duck hunting with a six shooter.

Obama, out of touch or elite?
You decide.

Chris,
Tell us a bit more as to what people think while they are smoking crack? Might you sometimes have visions of ducks?

Obama, the duck-hunter-in-chief.

chris,

I am not a big fan of reading comments by people who revise history. She was never suppose to beat Oblameless big in Tx.

He out spent Mrs. Clinton 4/5-1 in Tx. and Oh. and still couldn't beat her.

If your candidate has such a lock on the nominee then why doesn't he beat her in big electoral college states?

He only beats her in blood red states and caucus states. You really think he will expand the base in November with the youth and first time voters. Give it up, this HAS never happened and WILL never happen.

Why has your boy been trying to get HRC to get out of this race prematurely?

The bloom has come off the rose my friend. A big loss in PA will raise some SERIOUS doubts about Obambi's elect ability among the s.d.'s

My Advice, prepare for the fall early and often.

LA in Indiana,

Klansylvania? Oh, so if we can't get the vote of the bitter little people then they must belong to the K.K.K.

Reverend Wright, is that you?
========================================

Obama bless America
Obama save us from our bitterness
