Not only has yahoo news done this. also cnn has also done something similar by putting barack obama's name on a picture of osama bin laden.

The sad thing is that I really wonder if it was just a stupid mistake. A coworker of mine at the local college's computer lab does some substitute teaching on the side- she tells me that she asked her students if they thought they knew where Obama was, and she got several Osama answers such as "I think he's hiding in Pakistan" before somebody got it right.

Barack Obama's could close off an avenue for political mud racking and preventing media incidents if he changed his surname. I don't necessary think that he should do that but thats another topic.
