Hypocrisy on the Obama/Osama Mistake

by Stephan Tawney on October 23, 2007

Great post by Michelle. The AP article itself says Mitt Romney was in the midst of going after Democrats on foreign policy, while discussing Osama Bin Laden’s latest tape. He slipped up and is now under fire for it:

In a slip of the tongue, Republican Mitt Romney accused Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama of urging terrorists to congregate in Iraq.

In the midst of criticizing Obama and other Democrats on foreign and economic policy Tuesday, the GOP presidential hopeful said:

“Actually, just look at what Osam—Barack Obama—said just yesterday. Barack Obama, calling on radicals, jihadists of all different types, to come together in Iraq. That is the battlefield. … It’s almost as if the Democratic contenders for president are living in fantasyland. Their idea for jihad is to retreat, and their idea for the economy is to also retreat. And in my view, both efforts are wrongheaded.”

Oh my God! He accidentally confused Obama with Osama while discussing them both at the same time. It’s an outrage! An outrage I tell you. Democrats would never do this…oh, wait…
