Barack Obama was on This Week With George Stephanopoulos September 7th, Obama slipped and mentioned His Muslim Faith during the questioning. Freudian Slip?
You decide.

Yes, it was Georgy Snuffulofugus that "corrected" Obama on what faith Obama has publicly claimed.
Explains why Obama is “not licensed to practice law in Illinois,” according to the state’s attorney webpage...
People need to be careful not to take this out of context, which is exactly what this short clip does. It makes us look bad. Ive just watched it a couple of times. Heres the transcript as best as I can get it:
Stephanopolous: You mentioned your Christian faith. Yesterday you took off after the Republicans for suggesting your Muslim connections. Just a few minutes ago Rick Davis, um, John McCains campaing manager, said theyve never done that. This is a false and cynical attempt to play victim.
Obama: You know what? Uh, uh, I mean, these guys love to throw a rock and uh, hide their hand.
Stephanopolous: The McCain campaign has never suggested you have Muslim connections.
Obama: No, no, no, but, but, the, uh, I dont think that, when, you look at what is being promulgated on Fox News, lets say, and Republican commentators who are closely allied to these folks...
Stephanopolous: But John McCain said thats wrong.
Obama: But, well, look, listen, you and I both know that the minute that Governor Palin was uh, was forced to talk about her daughter, I immediately said thats off limits, and, and, and, and...
Stephanopolous: John McCain said the same thing about questioning your faith.
Obama: And what was the first thing the McCain campaign went out and did? They, they said uh, look, uh, these liberal blogs that support Obama are out there attacking Governor Palin. Lets not play games. Uh, what I was suggesting...youre absolutely right that John McCain has not uh, talked about my Muslim faith, and youre absolutely right that that has not come...
Stephanopolous: Christian faith.
Obama: My Christian faith...and, well, what Im saying is he hasnt suggested that Im a Muslim, and I think that uh, his uh, his campaign uh, upper echelons have not either. What I think is fair to say is that uh, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps Im not uh, 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.

You know, when thinking back over my life:
I worked organizing folks to protest chemical plants - Community organizer
I participated in environmental clean up of oil spills - hands on experience - Obama has none
I worked in an organization supporting/organizing landlords - Community Organizer
I have written hundreds of articles on various aspects of the law - Obama has published none
I have organized political protests and spoke on the steps of the capitol in Michigan
I have extensive courtroom experience all the way to the MI Court of Appeals (Obama never filed an appeal)
I lived in Indonesia as an ADULT giving me great insight into other cultures - Obama was a child in Indonesia
I have interfaced directly with many government officials in Indonesia including customs and know how these countries work - Obama has no knowledge of how foreign countries operate only being exposed as a little child.
I have supervised hundreds of design engineers on nuclear power plants - Management experience with accountability - Obama has none.
I have run my own business - Obama has no such experience.
I am more “qualified” to be President yet feel totally inadequate and unprepared to assume such a role.
Clearly, when it comes to visions of grandeur and ego, Obama beats me hands down.
Oh, and did I mention, I am white!!!! ;-)
Tthe longer clip is working fine on my site.

I guarantee you, it has been captured out there. It's probably on its way to your inbox right now!
Doesn’t matter. What does matter is that he will be forced to spend massive amounts of time denying it, which will just focus attention on it. You know the MSM spent a lot of time on McCain’s Shiite/Sunni slip. Well, there’s a hell of a lot less difference between a Shiite and an Sunni than there is between a Muslim and a Christian.
