KTLA Traffic Reporter calls Obama "Osama" TWICE this morning
I don't have a link but this morning, around 7:15 a.m. Pacific in Los Angeles on KTLA morning news, a helicopter traffic reporter I believe named "Commander Chuck," whose helicopter is sponsored by PEPSI, referred to Obama as "Osama" TWICE - NEVER really correcting himself or apologizing for the mistake.

Went pretty much like this like this "Osama....(short pause) Osama.....(pause)....or Obama was in town and (blah blah).."

Probably a FREEPER or something. Anyone else in LA hear this?

Let KTLA management know their Rush Limbaugh Traffic reporter should apologize!

3. I couldn't believe how casually he did it
I was getting ready for work and just froze listening to him. I couldn't BELIEVE he didn't apologize or even act as if he made a mistake. Might be a traffic report from a helicopter but this kind of CRAP is outrageous.

It was about 7:15am this morning from his PEPSI helicopter.

people and then went to the "Message" button.

I've used this method a number of times for different issues.

It allows not just the message board to know about it (they won't tell anyone) but the ordinary people will talk about it over their breaks.

2. FAUX and CNN did this for a reason and KTLA reporter is probably proof it worked
If this reporter has connected this in his pea sized brain, you can imagine what J.Q. Redneck republican has done.
Mission accomplished by the swiftboat media again.

8. He can't be too bright.





I'd hate to be living in an LA high-rise with an ignoramus like that flying around me.
