I hate to be a wet blanket, especially since this would make a hi-larious story... but if you take away the huge subtitles it sounds a lot like they’re saying “O God” instead of “Obama”.

To check myself, I tried listening to it with my eyes closed, and it sounds like your basic response in a lot of Protestant services.

Granted, it’s still some hippie church where they preach “The Social Gospel” and are 90% social action and 10% theology. But I don’t think this is going to convince anyone who’s not straining to hear “Obama” when they say “O God”.

Am I the only one who’s skeptical?

No, I am skeptical too. I listened to it a second time, and almost ALL the responses thought to be “Obama”, are indisputably “O God!”. I wish people wouldn’t post stuff like this without some more critical oversight: it would be more helpful to post it with a “what do you hear?” question attached to it. This reminds me of a similar vid
posted even before the election I think, of Michelle Obama
supposedly castigating “white people” every 15 seconds, when she was in fact saying something else entirely. Wish I could remember the exact details of that one.
In any event, we don’t need this semi-hysterical focus on this kind of stuff, especially stuff that’s not even new. We already have the schoolchildren being nudged into idolatry of Chairman Barack. This is also a bit like Stretch Pelosi claiming she saw signs bearing swastikas at Tea Party rallies, and others who claim they heard yells promoting assassination of the President. Just ain’t so.
Makes us look as stupid and desperate as them.

I did the same thing and got the same result. If you do not watch the video but listen is doesn't sound like Obama.

I (reluctantly) have to agree. It does sound more like “O God” (2 syllables) rather than “Obama” (3 syllables). But maybe that is just me.

Agreed...They’re saying “God”...The additional syllable is the natural effect of voices out of sync.

Good catch. You’re right.

I was horrified until I read your post and then listened to it again with my eyes closed: They’re saying, “O, God.”

I still don’t like what they’re saying, but at least they’re not praying to the president.

I just listened to it again, this time with my eyes closed. I think you're right.

Although some may be saying God, the name Obama is overwhelming. Be assured that Briebart is not going to release this unless he can back it up with testimony or a paper trail.

BS. I've listened to it 4 times now and its clearly OBAMA not God.

To say "O God" is only TWO syllables. Listen to the tape again: Its clearly THREE syllables.

You need to get your ears checked.

Thank you for making me go back and listen.

I agree with you. I listened with my eyes closed, and they are saying “God” not “Obama”. I am relying aon a syllable count.

Early in the vid, I thought I heard some saying “Obama”, but I think it was just that some were a little behind, as often happens in church responses.

The leftists are doing enough damage that we should focus on. It does not help our cause to make stuff up.
