now imagine making quality posts
Let's be fair guys and admit this is a mistake that can be easily made, it's a typo and nothing else. As mentioned, it's a big news story and they were eager, perhaps a tad too eager, to break the news.

If Obama's hair gets any whiter, the tea party will endorse it.

Obama Bin Laden is not a real person so no they did not
The only reason this is an issue at all is because you guys are reacting to how big an issue you think this is, get the fuck over it

It's not about where the keys are on the keyboard, it's the mental difference between the two names.

I mean no offense, but it brings my blood to a boil to see some of the posters wonder how such a mistake could be made when it was made all last night.

BBC does it because BBC has lots of Bs in it and they're used to typing Bs so it's okay but FOX has no Bs so it was malicious
Pretty sure the guy was just used to typing Obama, you know, muscle memory. It happens with many words and Obama is in the news alot.
Sounds like a big matter of BS to me. :v:

Usama is an accepted spelling. You're an idiot.
We're going to have a 50 page debate on whether or not this was intentional, are we?

Wishful thinking
Hm... I didn't even know it could be spelled Usama, I just thought Fox was being dumb.

I actually made that mistake when I texted somebody and told them the news, so I'm not blaming them for this one.
