1. So what happened?

[Pirate Smile]

3. Obama corrected him and the guy felt bad.

It was fine.

5. Uncomfortable moment that Obama turned to his favor

Smiled and said that this shows how unlikely it is that hes still standing there. The AP guy said he was sorry, and Obama went on to talk about Iraq. Obama handled it very well.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Rupert Murdoch and Sam Zell, two media figures who led major newspaper acquisitions in recent months, are among four new members joining the board of directors of The Associated Press, it was announced Monday at the news cooperative's annual meeting.

9. I thought he said OBAMA BIN LADEN (referring to the other one!)

Obama then said, "I think you mean Osama."

[ShortnFiery]

10. I was listening to CNN Live. Too funny! He said it THEN after the entire debate the Mic was on ...

and the guy says, "I can't believe that I said IT?!? He (Obama) said I did, so I guess I did (he did!)? It wasn't on purpose!" :P :rofl:

Obama handled it with style and grace ... he did not make the guy feel bad but mentioned that he had to handle similar gaffes. Obama is too cool! ;)


p.s. what HRC and her cronies do not realize that us "pajama hudeen" are keeping the M$M square. ;)
