Osama or Obama

It was very exciting worldwide to hear the news that Obama bin Laden, I mean Osama Bin Laden was killed by Navy Seals at his compound in Pakistan.  As my husband told me, he had to correct himself because he first said Obama. As the day progressed, I continued to watch news updates and each time there were new video images released to the media.  Americans in joyous celebration, chanting U-S-A, U-S-A on college campuses.  Every channel had some coverage of this historical event as it unfolded and the news traveled. Late last night on the Jimmy Kimmel show, he did a segment to recap clips from reporters from many different stations.  To my surprise we were not the only ones that mistakenly said Obama instead of Osama. There were quite a few.  Many, many years ago we would never have imagined that our President would be questioned about his Muslim faith, his name would be Barack Hussein Obama, and there would be an issue with his birth certificate. We can only imagine what the future holds for us.
