It may have escaped you but the rest of the world also knows about Osama Bin Laden, and has for years. I have not heard people mistaking Obama for Osama hear in Oz. The only time this comes up is when watching news footage on the US election. So either you Americans are too stupid to see the difference or as I said the anti Obama camp did a good job associating Obama with Osama
It's a matter of the right trying to make an association between the two names in order to imply Obama's supposed otherness. You know, the idea that he's supposed to be a secret Muslim, or that he actually wants the terrorists to win.
No, and no on both counts.
