No he is not. He is doing what Obama counted on...believing that it wasn't a veiled jab at Sarah. I have a difficult time believing that a Harvard grad would let something so carefully spoken "just slip".
His "MY Muslim faith"...now that was a slip.
A political science major I would guess that this was timed to take the spotlight off the "My faith" statement.
That's like saying "$hit" to take the spotlight off of saying "poop."
