Obama slips on TV: 'My Muslim faith'
WND ^ | Sept 7, 2008 | Aaron Klein

Posted on 09/07/2008 1:27:32 PM PDT by driftdiver

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."

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.

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.

Look for the book to be neither the Bible nor the Koran. His mother was a virulent atheist. His comments about "clinging to their God" is a comment an atheist would make, and is not one a Christian would make.

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.

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.

By the way, has anyone talked about why he changed his name?

They do and they will, but I think we have a lot better leg to stand on if we aren’t doing exactly the same thing.

WHY and WHEN....Is it his legal name?? Did he or his parents file “legal name change papers?”

Obama was admitted to the Illinois State Bar in 1991

Under status it says:
Voluntarily inactive and not authorized to practice law - Last Registered Year: 2008

All he has to do is reactivate his license as per Illinois law. They probably have a inactive fee that he has to pay every year versus the fee that he would have to pay if his license was active.

It isn’t lapsed as in he would have to retake the bar exam.

It is just inactive.

Michelle Obama. Admitted in 1989

Illinois Registration Status:
Voluntarily inactive and not authorized to practice law - Last Registered Year: 1993

I am not sure of the ramifications of the Last registered year being 1993.

“CHANGING FROM RULE 770 INACTIVE STATUS

Prior to November 1, 1999, former Supreme Court Rule 770 provided for a proceeding in the Court for any voluntary transfer to inactive status, whether because of some incapacitating condition or solely as a matter of the lawyer’s preference because the lawyer would not be practicing law.

The current registration rules provide a procedure for lawyers on Court-ordered inactive status under former Supreme Court Rule 770 who might wish to register. Whatever registration status the lawyer wishes to assume (active, inactive, or retired), the lawyer must first file a motion with the Supreme Court for restoration to active status under Rule 759. The motion process is necessary to screen for those who transferred due to circumstances that require some review of present fitness, and the motions will be contested only in such cases. In all other cases, the ARDC will consent to the transfer, and when a consent is submitted, the Supreme Court typically allows the motion within a few weeks of when it is filed. “

A lot of Professionals take voluntary inactive and not licensed to practice if a disciplinary action has been vetted and they've agreed to it. So, Obama's status leaves a big question in my mind.

My Professional License is for 3 years and runs from birthday to birthday. Mandatory education is now required for renewal. Perhaps, he just didn't fulfill any education requirement.

Remember, Bubba kept his license active all through his political years....until they suspended it for 5 years.

He could have just decided he didn’t want to pay the higher fee and/or take the classes. It may be common with Senators to do that since they know they will not be practicing law....just making it!!!!!!!!!

I did see the interesting note in a discussion of a case:

“Is it misleading for a lawyer to state that the lawyer is “admitted” or “licensed” in a jurisdiction when the lawyer is on “inactive status” in that jurisdiction without making any reference or disclosure concerning such status”
