Romney's taken some criticism recently for posing for this picture. A few people disrupted a recent Ask-Mitt-Anything event with questions about the words on the poster. See this YouTube video here.
Let's put all this in context. The Associated Press reported on January 12, (2005) "Kennedy also mangled the name of the Democrats' new star, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, calling him 'Osama bin ... Osama ... Obama.' "
Then, Rush picked up on it and mocked Kennedy (and Obama) on his July 11 (2005)broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show.
I bet that's what this woman was referring to--not Bin Laden himself. She was mocking Kennedy and having fun like Rush did on July 11th, 2005.
So, as Romney encouraged, "Lighten up!"
I don't see the huge deal here. Nobody likes Osama. He should be killed. On a totally separate level, no Republicans care much for Obama or Hillary. Mitt was not saying Barack supports Bin Laden or anything ridiculous like that. Quit the spinning!
