Obama, Osama


On October 23, 2007, in Greenwood, South Carolina, Presidential Candidate Romney made a presentation about his issues to the Chamber of Commence. During his talk on terrorism, he accidentally mentioned Osama instead of Barack Osama. He did mention Osama, but it was on the use of a videotape of Osama Bin Laden talking about insurgents. One of Romney's spokesman backed him up by saying that it was just a slip of tongue on Mr. Romney's part. However, on the side of Barack Osama, his spokesman said they weren't too thrill of his accidental slip of tongue. Mr. Obama said he didn't pay much attention to Mr. Romney's speech anyway.
Here is a short paragraph on the life of Barack Osama. Barack Osama is currently one of the 2008 Presidential candidates running for presidency. He is the United States Senator from Illinois and he supports the Democratic party. Osama went to Columbia University and Harvard Law School when he graduated from both colleges. Osama ocassionally held jobs such as university lecturer, community organizer, and a civil rights lawyer. Osama got marry in 1992 and have two daughters. He wrote two bestselling books later on in his life. The first book is about his memories when he was younger which he called Dreams from My Father the second book was about U.S. politics which he called The Audacity of Hope. Now that he is running for President, let's hope that he gets a lot of votes.
