    He caught himself and says sorry… Slip ups happen… read your blogs half of the words you write are gramatically incorrect but who cares .. speaking is very similar. You are in a rush to write/speak and slip ups happen.

    21

    funny

  22. what says – reply to this


    22

    Wow…slow news day,Perez? I think it's obvious Matt just made an honest mistake and nothing intentional. But of course all the talking heads will have a field day with this one.

  26. Sharo says – reply to this


    26

    We all know Matt is a republican! Republican's are on a mission to get votes for McCain anyways they can…one of the ways is to associate the Obama's name with the most hated man on earth right now…it is so sad that Americans are showing their true colors right now..nothing is changing, the country is packed with racists hatred! SO SAD!

  27. ana says – reply to this


    27

    I think it's hilarious but maybe it was revenge for when Obama mistook Matt with someone else's name. either way…LOL

  28. L says – reply to this


    28

    how do YOU know it wasn't an accident? he knows people would react like you douchebags if he did that on purpose.. anyway, fuck obama, he's a radical with no experience

  29. ERICA says – reply to this

    Re: Sharo – "Republican's are on a mission to get votes for McCain anyways they can"

    umm.. wow.. that's crazy of those republicans. I'm sure that the democrats aren't pushing to get votes for their candidate. It's called campaigning, dumbass. PS - Check your grammar.

  31. missy says – reply to this


    31

    Re: Sharo – I think you are making much more out of this than it really was. You liberals all have to come up with conspiracy theories for everything. Lighten up!!!

  32. Vicky says – reply to this


    32

    That didn't look like a mistake at all. It wasn't like he was talking or reading fast and if you noticed he was pretty sarcastic when he said sorry. It doesn't surprise me he would take this cheap shot because he's a republican. Matt Lauer sucks!!!!!!!!

  33. Carin says – reply to this


    33

    IT'S A PLAN TO TARNISH OBAMA'S NAME!!! Well done republicans you are on a role……..so sickening!!!

    FRAUDIAN SLIP!!!!!

  39. L says – reply to this


    39

    This is ridiculous, don't jump all over Matt, he never even said OBAMA BIN LADEN he stopped, apologized, and corrected himself after saying Obama! Who CARES?

  40. polly says – reply to this


    40

    Umm who the fuck cares…he had a slip up, why even post this???? And "T" you're an idiot for saying that was done on purpose, just plain retarded to suggest such a thing.

  46. Mike says – reply to this


    46

    And yet IDIOTS want to vote for this wolf in sheeps clothing. Hell … I bet some people would vote for Osama Bin Laden himself. Sad days ahead indeed. The only "Hope" and "change" you're going to get is a microchip planted in you. Be ready … be prepared … and remember who you voted for.

  47. Mike says – reply to this


    47

    Obama, Osama, same thing. Both hate America.

  48. CARRI says – reply to this


    48

    he corrected it before he said the whole name-so what????? Look at sue simmons saying a few months ago 'what the fu*k are you doing?!!!" It took fox 32 minutes to issue an apology, waiting for the news to come on, not at the next commercial. Shit happens. Matt probably talks about Obama alot more then Osama.

  49. MKTT1 says – reply to this


    49

    They are required by their "Entertainment Industry/News Anchor Liberal Oath" to bring up his name every 4-5 minutes.

  50. Bill says – reply to this

    53

    Obama, Osama. Whatever happened to good old fashioned names like Ed, Jim, and Bob? Obama should have changed his name long ago. It's a huge liability.

  59. Valid says – reply to this


    59

    Thank You Matt Lauer for trying to make this clear to the American People: Obama IS Bin Laden and Barack IS Osama. It's all the same shiz, if you people would just finally get a clue! And of course Obama Osama is a Muslim; they're both Muslims!!!

  60. FReal says – reply to this


    60

    Matt's problem is that he's just so glib. So glib. He should let Tom Cruise handle the big stories…even if he can't read the teleprompter.

  61. tara says – reply to this


    61

    whats the difference…they are both terrorist!

  62. FReal says – reply to this


    62

    Obama people are so fucking weird. You're all dealing with some major issues, people. Shouldn't you be at a courthouse somewhere getting your names changed to Hussein? Yeah, that's normal. I always change my name to match whoever I'm voting for that year. Freaks.

  63. sharo says – reply to this

    Re: L – You are the dumbass for not acknowledging what is going on. people like you will see someone molesting your child and then turn the other way around…DUMBASS!!!

    65

    Whatever. Yeah I am sure it was a "brain fart". Why doesn't Matt douche bag Lauer join me in the 21st century and stop talking out of his ass….

  66. Chad says – reply to this


    66

    I wold expect something like this on a FOX station…not NBC.

    TOTALLY AN ACCIDENT!

  67. Sari says – reply to this


    67

    That was SO intentional! What a bad acting M.L!!!! But why i ask..? someone is really trying to make Obama look bad..Theres no ethics in journalism..

  68. mlbw says – reply to this


    68

    That was totally on purpose and very sad and immature. If everyone in the world was as ignorant as matt, then all americans would be stereotyped as mini "george bush's". He portrays this image with his "mistake". Obama is experienced and may be exactly what are country needs, no matter race or religion. All that matters is that he delivers and helps in re-building america. We need to leave his religion and the color of his skin out of this election, cause quite frankly I am sick of the self proclaimed "CHRISTIAN" "MAN OF THE PEOPLE" from "TEXAS" with his "HIGH EDUCATION" that is a white man, that has destroyed our country and everything AMERICA STANDS FOR!!!! All that should matter is the right man is elected and that man carries on the legacy of THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT. Not tear that worldly respected stature in two terms without a guilty conscience. And to all you people that want to bash Obama need to educate yourself about him and everything going on in our world. Don't down a person because of his up bringing, religion, or race. My comment to matt lauer is KARMA is a B!*$#, and i am sure we will all be seeing a meaningless apology!

  69. Leann says – reply to this


    69

    Can we get someone to photoshop Obama to look like Osama, then do a Separated at Birth?

  70. Autum says – reply to this


    70

    He corrected himself immediately. I don't see the problem.

  71. Lo says – reply to this

    Re: L – Word. STFU and stop voting Democrat just bc scarlett and oprah are voting that way you IDIOTS.

  72. angie says – reply to this


    72

    it wouldve been something to talk about if he said hilary, or john instead of osama, but with all the election coverage and such going on i dont find it a big deal .. obama, osama one letter off, he did apologize immediately after he said it too.

  73. NoLo says – reply to this


    73

    Re: mlbw – Actually, you are an idiot. Maybe if some of you knew a little more about politics and what it takes to run a country, you wouldn't hate Bush so much. People say that we are in Iraq for Bush's own personal reasons.. How about there is something more serious going on there and Americans don't now about it for our own protection. There's a little more to choosing a president than what celebrity is voting for them and if they'll push gay rights. I'm all for gay rights, but Democrats are going to come in, raise taxes, keep abortion legal, provide more support so lazy people can sit on their asses and get free money and hmmm what else? Alll you democrats have proven is that you are nothing but SHEEP. Be educated before you go fucking things up.

    Re: sharo – You're an idiot. Get off the computer and go back to school. VOTE REPUBLICAN! WE'RE SMARTER!!! :D

  75. cleop says – reply to this


    75

    wake up people! the Repuglican war machine is bringing back osama in the news to scare you into accepting another needless war, in Iran. That was no slip up, that was pure slime. Isn't weird that we've heard nothing about Bush's pal Osama for a year, and we the most powerful country in the world can't find him because he lives in a cave, blah blah blah. We haven't found him because we're not meant to. He is a tool meant to scare you into doing what this administration wants. WAKE UP!

  76. Angie says – reply to this


    76

    HEY CLEOP!!!

    You really have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Why don't you stop reading friggin Liberal newspapers and get some of the real info on IRAQ!!!

    Haha. Oops.

    78

    Re: NoLo – I AM A REPUBLICAN, AND I AM VERY EDUCATED IN MANY SUBJECTS INCLUDING POLITICS. AND I APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR YOUR ARROGANCE AND IGNORANCE. THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG AND YOU AND I ARE A PRIME EXAMPLE. YOU FEEL IF YOU BELITTLE ME BY CALLING ME A SHEEP AND WHATEVER OTHER NAMES YOU CAN COME UP WITH THAN THAT MAKES YOU SUPERIOR. MY CASE IN POINT IS THAT I HAVE EVERY BIT A RIGHT TO POST MY OPINION ON THIS BLOG AS YOU. BUT, I THINK WE AS ADULTS SHOULD LEAD BY EXAMPLE AND LEAVE OUT THE NAME CALLING AND CHILDISH ANTICS. AND THAT MY FRIEND, IS ONE EXAMPLE OF WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY. FREE OF CHARGE!



  79. 79

    I don't know, that seemed purposeful to me, not an accident. I didn't even know he was a republican until after I watched it and came in here and read comments, and I thought it was on purpose. Now it surprises me even less.

    Just the way he said it and apologized, it didn't seem like a slip up to me.



  80. 80

    YOU CAN TELL HE DID IT ON PURPOSE
    YOU CAN TELL HE DID IT ON PURPOSE
    YOU CAN TELL HE DID IT ON PURPOSE

    YOU CAN TELL HE DID IT ON PURPOSE

    YOU CAN TELL HE DID IT ON PURPOSE

    YOU CAN TELL HE DID IT ON PURPOSE

    WHAT AN ASSHOLE

  81. HA says – reply to this


    81

    hahaha that was funnnyyy!@!!!!!
    it was on purpose. but who cares bc obama bin laden is a muslim!
    ooooops!

  82. sowha says – reply to this


    82

    That was so funny. I hope he said it on purpose. I wish everyone would think like that. Is everyone crazy, Terriost are supposed to fit in with the general population and then when everyone least expects it they kill millions. Is that not what they do???? It is hard to trust anyone these days. I hope that Obama is not like that and maybe he will do good as president (if he wins)… I am a Democrat I hope Hillary gets VP…

  83. obama says – reply to this

    it's funny cause it's the same thing.

    86

    too bad he didn't say what you have in quotes…. he mis-spoke… the liberals are always putting words in everyone else's mouth… get over yourself…



  87. 87

    that was done purposely obviously the guy is a republicican…

  88. NOBAM says – reply to this


    88

    I can only hope it was done on purpose. Barry Hussein Bammers is a joke. The only thing that is worse are the libertards that can't see BS when it is sitting on their face.

  89. kelly says – reply to this


    89

    It was just a slip…these reporters are covering so much on the campaign, that it's bound to happen. I don't, however, really see the point of posting this..it's kind of a non-story.

    Re: what – that was no mistake. HAIL HITLER, I mean Obama Bin Laden Hussein

  92. Europ says – reply to this


    92

    Not knowing who this guy is and not knowing his affiliations it totally didn't look like a mistake. He said it with a huge emphasis on Obama. And after that he had that sarcastic smirk.

    Not that it matters really.. I mean what if Obama's name was Osama. Who gives a fuck. It's like if someone's name is George and every time the name George pops up everyone acts all hysterical. Osama is just a name. Americans really..get your priorities straight. It really doesn't look that intelligent worrying about trivial crap.

    Totally on purpose. Loves it.

    That ish was done on purpose…nbc has stooped to an all time low

  95. j-b says – reply to this


    95

    what's the big deal? We're all supposed to be so damn color blind anyway aren't we?. Who cares whether is name is Obama or Osama? Why can't they say Barack's middle name of Hussein on the news? Afterall we're voting for the man, not the religion aren't we? I don't really care what his name is. Vote for whoever you like.

    Re: Lo – Exactly!

  99. Muskr says – reply to this


    99

    Similar to when Ted Kennedy called him "Osama Obama" about 4 times at a speech, and couldn't get the words straight.

  100. Sweet says – reply to this


    100

    haha. that was funny. i'm sure it was a mistake though bc he corrected himself and said he was sorry. anyway if it wasn't a mistake, don't blame the poor man. the names are almost alike. the only difference is the second letter. obama. osama.
