When will Yahoo fix their spell checker? Obama and Palin are real words!!!!!?

Obama has been running for the presidency for almost 2 years. He is the Democratic Candidate. I should not be being told that I misspelled his freakin' name and Yahoo wants to change it to Osama.

I should be able to type Palin for the Republican vice presidential candidate's name and not be told the name should be Plain.

Curiously Joe the Plumber does not cause a misspelling.

Any other words they should fix while they are at it?

Update:

Bear, you are absolutely correct. My bad.
