Mitt Romney Misspeaks, Confuses Barack Obama with Usama bin Laden
GREENWOOD, S.C. (Fox News) — In a slip of the tongue, Republican Mitt Romney accused Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama of urging terrorists to congregate in Iraq.
In the midst of criticizing Obama and other Democrats on foreign and economic policy Tuesday, the GOP presidential hopeful said:
"Actually, just look at what Osam — Barack Obama — said just yesterday. Barack Obama, calling on radicals, jihadists of all different types, to come together in Iraq. That is the battlefield. ... It's almost as if the Democratic contenders for president are living in fantasyland. Their idea for jihad is to retreat, and their idea for the economy is to also retreat. And in my view, both efforts are wrongheaded."
Romney apparently was referring to an audiotape aired Monday in which a speaker believed to be terrorist Osama bin Laden called for insurgents in Iraq to unite and avoid divisions. The authenticity of the tape aired on Al-Jazeera television could not be immediately confirmed.

I'm picturing in my mind Barack Obama saying at a rally, "Radicals, jihadists of all different types, let's come together in Iraq." Ha! Imagine if Bush 43 misspoke like Mitt Romney did; we would never hear the end of it.

Apparently you're unfamiliar with "Bushisms."
I'm saying if Bush 43 said what Mitt Romney said. Yes, I'm quite familiar with "Bushisms."
