Slip of the tongue or momentary confusion? In a television interview today discussing his religion, Sen. Barack Obama stated, "My Muslim faith."
Obama, speaking to ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "This Week," was talking about what he described as "smears" that were claiming he was a Muslim when he maintains he is a practicing Christian.
"Let's not play games," Obama stated. "What I was suggesting – you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you're absolutely right that that has not come."
Stephanopoulos immediately interrupted Obama, stating, "Christian faith."
"My Christian faith," Obama quickly said. "Well, what I'm saying is that he (McCain) hasn't suggested that I'm a Muslim. And I think that his campaign's upper echelons have not, either. What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I'm not who I say I am when it comes to my faith – something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time."

Is there anyone left who believes Obama isn't Muslim?
If Obama wins, we’ll know for sure if he’s a Muslim by the book under his left hand as he takes the Oath of Office. Could be a Kodak moment!
Freudian slip?
It’s obvious what he said was “my [alleged] Muslim faith”. He just didn’t say alleged.
So what he meant to say was, "...you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Christian faith."?
Hah?
Most Americans do not realize that Obama’s middle name is Hussein. This would make many uneasy to say the least. We have to get the word out.
So what he meant to say was, "...you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Christian faith."?
Hah?
Kinda like he meant to say the 50 american states and not the 57 muslim states.
It’s obvious that Stephanopolous thought he was saying he was a Muslim or he wouldn’t have corrected him.

Who is that? Barack The Magnificent? Where’s his sidekick Ed McMahon?
“It’s obvious what he said was “my [alleged] Muslim faith”. He just didn’t say alleged.”
-
That is not at all, obvious.
What’s obvious is that Hussein, just as Bill Clinton before him, is a habitual liar.
What did he do when he joined the senate?
I would suspect at this juncture, John McCain would not have to say a WORD about your faith - Obama, my boy, you’ve done it again - you have given us TOO much information.
Clarity is such a useful tool in the hands of the right people. Of course, like a wood chisel, you could gouge yourself pretty badly if it is misused.
They need to bury his sorry behind with this.Talk about a gotcha moment.He stepped in it bigtime with that little slip.
This isn’t a big deal, almost every person I know who was born with the name Barry has changed their name to Barack to prove their Christianity. :)
I guess he needs a teleprompter for interviews too. What a dolt.
he’s right. it all depends on what the muslim word means.. if by muslim faith you mean christian faith, then yes he is a muslim... lol
Funny how Stephie felt like he had to bail Obama out.
Obama is 100x worse ‘off the cuff’ speaker than Bush. Turn off the teleprompter, and he is a verbal gaffe machine.
The leftmedia is coaching Obama’s responses??
roflmao!
I'll be chatting and the issue of faith comes up and I'll just accidently say muslim instead of my true faith.
I probably should work on that, but then I'm not applying for a job where a mere slip up could have world-wide implications.
Yeah he bailed him out just like when Dan Quayle was in a room full of teachers and reporters. The all jumped in and told him how to spell potato. At least on the national six o’clock news.
He never said “57 Muslim states.”
He said, “57 ... uh, 57 states.”
The word “Muslim” did not pass his lips in that context.
Please, stick to the real ammo he’s given us, instead of the planted lines of the rabid among our side.

If you look at some Dem sites they are asking people not to look at the video so that the whole thing dies, if no one mentions it again it will be one more thing that Obama sweeps under the rug. He said it...let others see the video and decide.
He did talk about “57 States” - there are 57 Muslim States (countries).
“He never said “57 Muslim states.””
Correct, however there are apparently 57 muslim states. I’ve never ever heard any American mistate the number of states we have in the union. NO matter how tired they are.
He said it and the more people that see it the better.
“Please, stick to the real ammo he’s given us, instead of the planted lines of the rabid among our side.”
Nothing sticks to teflon man, you gotta use whatever ammo you have. It seems the average dem ignores or is unwilling to dig deep enough to understand any of the more complex arguments.
This is a simple one that supports many other puzzle pieces. Watch when he pronounces anything thats based in arabic. He pronounces those names like a pro. He attended a muslim school, has a muslim father, has a muslim middle name, and attends a church that hates america. What else do we need?
Would you like Obama, the attorney, representing you?
“Would you like Obama, the attorney, representing you?”
I don’t want B. Hussein Obama as my janitor. He’s not even qualified for that lowly position.
Lets see him clean out a pig pen and pet a dog.
Former Greek Orthodox altar boy Steph had to remind The One that he’s supposed to be a Christian, not a Muslim. It’s easy to get confused when you’re faking having any kind of faith in the first place.
Bingo.
Speaking of attorneys, somebody on another thread (which was deleted because of posting rules) said that Obama is not a member of the bar in Illinois. Does anybody know if this is true?
He has worked as a staff attorney and taught law. You don’t need to have passed the bar to do either one. You only have to be a member of the bar if you want to submit briefs and argue in court. Any info, anyone?
Thank you for posting that. In fact, he clearly says that he meant the attacks that he is Muslim, not that he IS Muslim. I hate when the lefties do this stuff, and we should not fall into the same trap, even tho it’s easy. There is plenty about Obama that we can legitimately denounce.
susie
Quayle had been handed a spelling card with the word potato spelled incorrectly. This little error (set up?) on the part of a teacher was never reported by the DBM. Most people still don't know it. Dan Quayle never said anything as ignorant as the USA's having fifty-seven states.
So Obama’s defending himself against saying what John McCain didn’t say about the Muslim faith that Obama doesn’t hold?
I just today read in an Obama bio that he let his law license lapse in (maybe) 2003. I don’t know if this is relevant to having passed the bar or not.
Obama knows that America would not elect an atheist. He would rather "cling" to the I am not a Muslim line, and talk about his "Christian faith" rather than have to let people know he is an atheist.
Look for him to affirm on the Communist Manifesto.
If you use the title Attorney, I BELIEVE you have to be both licensed and Registered in at least one state. The Bar Association is its’ own organization and most Attorneys join it but I don’t believe it’s required. Our bar puts out a booklet EVERY YEAR listing its’ members and heads of local government, justices etc.
“the “Al-Buraq Wall,” is part of the Al Aqsa Mosque and served as a tying post for Muhammad’s horse” Root letters are brq
From an old WND article. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52528
Add this to the “57 states.”
I understand where you’re coming from on this, but try to remember this the next time they take McCain or Palin out of context.
BUMP!
The Obomination slips on being a MUSLIM!!!
By the way, has anyone talked about why he changed his name?
