Fox affiliate WTTG made the common mistake last night of confusing “Osama” with “Obama.”

“President Obama, speaking from the East Room of the White House, telling the nation and the world: President Obama is in fact dead,” the anchor said following President Barack Obama’s speech.

3. And they wonder that some of us think Obama is the greatness?

4. WTTG is not only a Fox affiliate but is owned and operated directly by Fox

Some true Fox affiliates, such as KTVU in Oakland, actually have credible local news operations (theirs predates the existence of Fox by a couple of decades).

5. Is it wrong that I'm growing amused by all these stories?

6. That's a common mistake?

It's common to mistakenly refer to "Osama" as "President Obama"?

I could maybe understand a slip of the tongue where you say "Obama" instead of "Osama", especially if you're referring to both in the same sentence, but I have difficulty understanding how someone could refer to "Osama" as "President Obama". That's more than a tongue slip.
