On May 25, 2008, Trotta sparked national outrage with a comment on a Fox News broadcast. After she swapped the names "Obama" ( Barack Obama ) and "Osama" ( Osama bin Laden ), she declared that the murder of both was desirable: [...] and now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama. Um, uh, Obama. Well both, if we could. The next day, Trotta apologized for her "bad joke" ( lame attempt at humor ).
