Obama or Osama

This is a video of a segment on MSNBC that mistakenly used a photo of Osama Bin Laden in place of Barack Obama. Is this a simple mistake or an outright disgrace? The network claims to have reprimanded the employee responsible for the mishap, but would not provide any other details.

It happened during the opening of "Hardball" Monday evening. The host Chris Matthews was previewing a story on the controversy over Obama's use of another politician's words, and a picture of bin Laden briefly flashed on the screen beside him with the headline "Words About Words."

"This mistake was inexcusable," MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines said. I think that is an understatement. Watch it below and tell us....what do you think?
