Obama/Biden looks like Osama Bin Laden

Yet another blow has been dealt to the Democratic Party with the name on the party ticket. Quite possibly the most hated and hunted man in America, Osama Bin Laden is just 4 letters away from "Obama/Biden" right inside your voting both.

On the Obama/Biden Ticket all you need to do is subtract a "B" add an "S" to get "Osama". On Biden's name you need to add "N" "L" "A" to get "Bin Laden".

Why is this a problem? Because of the way our brains read and interpret information.
We do not read every letter in a word, or in a straight line, but rather in a sequence of movements (jumps). Our brains scan information an quickly make connections, and associations.

When we see "Obama/Biden" it looks a lot to our brains subconsciously like "Osama Bin Laden". We would obviously not vote for "Osama Bin Laden" for President. I think the "Obama/Biden" ticket becomes increasingly more difficult to get into the oval office due to this fact. "Obama/Clinton" sounds less evasive and more Presidential.

To vote for "Mccain/(any name)" sounds a lot less risky and familiar than "Obama/Biden". The problem is that most people will not even know why they fear "Obama/Biden". It is on a subconscious level, and is not something they will have the time to logically consider.
