We're happy to hear that there seems to be some action taking place on this "mistake" and only hope that he will step up and Do the Right Thing on MySpaceGate.
It is a bit disheartening when these little "mistakes" keep popping up and makes us wonder if it shows a disconnect from his campaigns daily activities?

*excerpts from article:
In an interview with The Associated Press, Obama labeled the memo and its headline — "Hillary Clinton (D-Punjab)" — as "unnecessarily caustic."
~~~~~
"It was a dumb mistake on our campaign's part and I made it clear to my staff in no uncertain terms that it was a mistake," Obama told the AP in a brief interview.
~~~~~
Placing the blame on his staff is not new. Earlier this year, Obama faulted his staff for comments in a dispute with the Clinton camp over Hollywood donor David Geffen.
~~~~~
Takes responsibility for mistake
In a statement on his Web site, Obama said he was not aware of the contents of the memo before it was distributed. The Illinois senator said he was responsible for the mistake and the campaign had taken appropriate action "to prevent errors like this from happening in the future."
