Osama, Obama? What's the difference? Not much, apparently, in an upstate New York county where hundreds of voters were sent absentee ballots in which they could vote for "Barack Osama."

Hundreds of absentee ballots sent to voters in Rensselaer County identified the two presidential candidates as "John McCain" and "Barack Osama."

Commissioners for the Rensselaer County Board of Elections say they "regret the error," without actually acknowledging what the error was.

Amazing. People like "TC", "Anon", "Pickles" and "Eddie" truly make Coloradans look ignorant. Last time I checked, anyone born in the United States is an American. Barack Obama was born in America, thus making him an American. My ancestors came from Germany, but that doesn't mean I'm a Nazi, nor am I going to support Germany's interests over America's interests. I was born in the United States, which makes me an American. If any of you have a true complaint against Obama's policies, then please attack his policies. Who cares if he has dark skin? Who cares if he has a name that certain demagogues say sounds Arabic? He's an American, and he has the exact same God-given rights as every other American. Once the conservatives stop attacking Obama's skin color, name, and religion, and start attacking his policies/proving that their own policies are better, they will actually have a chance at winning this election.

I happened to graduated from PPCC, and work there now as a librarian. Maybe you could benefit from a little knowledge and research of your own if you picked up a book or a newspaper once in a while.

Robert you clearly give PPCC a bad name. Perhaps you could benefit from knowledge if you would enroll instead of just driving by.

I don't know why my post posted 3 times, hook me up KKTV, fix it for me. Nonetheless, get your facts straight. He's not even Arabic! He never was, he never is, he never will be. His father and much of his was born in KENYA, an AFRICAN COUNTRY! Look it up on a map if you can find one. To say he is a Arab is utter stupidity. If you believe that Obama is an Arab, please don't vote. I don't want your voice to be heard because it is spewing garbage. I can understand not voting for him because of his policies and his choices in them, but to not vote because of garbage beliefs like that is moronic. It just shows how stupid people are. Can you really believe that? I mean come on, give me a break.

Your the one who is ignorant,Robert, voting for an Arab president wanting to go from a war with Iraq to one in Pakistan.

What's the difference. If you vote for Obama your vote backs Osama. Dems are sooo ignorant.
