This morning while talking about the threat of radical Islam, Governor Romney mistakenly called Osama bin Laden Barack Obama, not once but twice. A Romney spokesman claimed that Romney "simply misspoke" and "was referring to a recently released audiotape by bin Laden and misspoke when referencing the name." Was this just a slip of the tongue, or was it a subtle way to attack Senator Obama's upbringing and values?
I think it was an honest mistake. I don't think an opponent like Romney would go that far just to mention Obama's up bringing.
ReplyDeleteI like to think he wouldn't..but I'm not so sure. In politics today, it's all about the soundbite..it's all about making news like that...if you drop that idea that maybe Obama is Muslim it will stick in someone's head..especially that 20% on undecided voters...i mean even today in class someone thought Obama was Muslim..
