Oy. Incidentally, what’s Obama’s position on Kennedy, who made the same gaffe at the National Press Club? Yeah, anyway…

“Can you describe the differences between yourself and Osama Bin Laden?” a voter asked Senator Obama, D-Ill., on Wednesday during a town hall in Dover, New Hampshire.

Laughing of the voter’s question, Obama replied, “Well, you know, Mitt Romney’s been very confused about this,” referencing a recent gaffe committed by Mitt Romney in which the former Massachusetts governor and potential Republican rival repeatedly used Obama’s name instead of Osama Bin Laden’s name during a discussion of terrorism at an event Tuesday in South Carolina…

But then Obama, who intially seemed to shrug off Romney’s comments, continued, “And I think when Romney starts saying this stuff — sometimes it might be honest mistakes, sometimes no. You don’t know.”

“But I have no doubt that there will be some of that, trying to make me into this foreign, you know, odd clearly black – person. And to scare people,” Obama concluded.

Uh huh. I’m sure that’s it, Barry. But really, I’d like to know where he stands on his fellow Democratic Senator, a very powerful member of his party, making the same remarks. Is Ted “Burp” Kennedy also trying to make him into “this foreign, you know, odd clearly black – person”?
