Obama. Osama. That was bound to happen.

It was bound to happen anywhere the word Fox appears on screen, and it happened multiple times. Entirely by accident, again and again.

psst OSama.. Haha, classic!

It gets even more confusing since they're both presidents.

someone caught it on a Fox affilliate -- not the first time it has happened.

To be fair, I did make the same slip last night. Of course, I didn't say President....

AND foreign!... don't forget that... common mistake.

Wow. Woweewowow.

Wishful thinking I guess.

I almost did the same but with a typo.

It's nice the President had a news conference regarding his own death.

If he said 'Telling the nation and the world that Osama is dead' I could see it as a mistake. But he said specifically 'President Obama is dead.'

It was no mistake. Considering it happened multiple times that night. Other networks made the mistake once or twice, but not all night. I think it's why they spelled Osama, Usama. So the anchors wouldn't fuck up.. again.

Every time FOX has made this association it's been their attempt to get back at all of us who had made the association between Cheney and Darth Vader. I'm no longer a fan of Obama since he has compromised and been forced to compromise with extremists & huge corrupt corporations in this country but they should be thankful that he got their job done for them. I'm sure he could get a lot more done if the right-wing weren't full of doofuses and nutjobs.

There are much better and much more serious things to rip Fox on.

I'm giving them a pass on this one. This is juvenile shit...let it go. Bigger fish to fry.

Freudian slip.

I think this is a local affiliate, not the big network.

One for the road, Fox, one for the road.

How can somebody say that they're dead?

"HEY! HEY! ...I'm dead, bitches!"

I'm not dead yet!

*facepalm

Has to be; he apologized and corrected himself.

Geez. If I had to take a drink every time ANY news organization has mistaken Obama and Osama over the last couple of days I'd be Irish.

Well, they're easy to confuse. Both attended muslim schools. Both hate the USA. Both damaged the US economy, and both want(ed) the US out of the Middle East.

You're easy to confuse with a racist neocon fuckstick. Just say'n.

There's no confusion.

I DON'T GIVE A FFFUUUUUUCK


also, thinking obama hasnt accomplished his campaign promises because of the lunatic right wing base is fucking naive as hell. democrats aren't really that pathetic and weak, they just work for the corporations too. this whole partisan fuckery is mostly just a fucking dog and pony show... anyone notice that campaign season NEVER fucking ends????? welcome to fascist hell. you've all been duped.
