It could have been Ovama or Ofama. Or even Olama. SURE A HA
But with one "s" the Rensselaer County Board of Elections turned a single wrong letter into a national embarrassment Friday.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's last name is spelled "Osama" on some 300 absentee ballots mailed out this week to voters in Rensselaer County hilltowns.
Is it a Freudian slip, intentional gaffe or a mistake? Voters are sure to have opinions, and one politician pointed out that the letters "s" and "b" are not exactly keyboard neighbors.
Of all the letters to hit by mistake .

Mr. Abudayyeh, I disagree with your assessment in an earlier post that the US will survive this financial mess with more power and influence. We are doomed, and not because of the American people, who are basically sheep at this point. Since 1913 the banking system in America is inherently fraudulent, as that model has been adopted in many lands worldwide. It is a debt-based money system in which the creation of the medium of exchange through the signing of promissory notes has been granted to an elitist banking cartel, a modern version of indentured servitude. It is just this very banking system that allows my country to finance an immoral, disgusting, and utterly self-defeating War on Terror! I challenge Russia and the Islamic countries to lead the world out of this mess by instituting a monetary system backed 100% by gold with no allowance for fractional reserve banking. Investments must be made solely out of savings and politicians are NOT allowed to run deficits. Only under such a system can there be honest relations between nations, based on trade and justice alone.
