I don’t know that this can be attributed to a slip of the tongue. I’d have to see a lot more of the video that preceded the remark.

That said, it’s very hard to imagine myself accidentally saying the phrase “my Muslim faith.”

It’s like the old joke where the guy means to say “Please pass the salt” but he accidentally makes a Freudian slip and says “I hate your ******* guts!” Not too likely

The only way I could imagine such a phrase coming out of my mouth is if during the preceding conversation, I was saying it in some sort of theoretical context over and over and over. I’m guessing that was not at all the case for Obama.

I would have to be so drunk to say "my Muslim faith" - in any context - that I don't think I'd be able to even form words.

I'd probably just say " ghs;a jfweoij jlsdkdjfa"

You should watch the entire segment. Stephanapolis begins by asking him to comment about Republicans who claim he has Muslim connections. He first responds by trying to tie it directly to McCain, but GS knocks that down and keeps pushing him to admit that McCain has never accused him of Muslim connections.

That’s when he makes the “my Muslim faith” statement, GS corrects him (”You mean your Christianity,” and then Obama corrects HIM by saying the McCain has never accused him of having Muslim connections. (listen closely for it, as it’s almost under his breath.)

Some FReepers (and some conservative blogs and other websites) are making a mountain out of a molehill on this, IMO.

A longer, two minute, clip is available at Re: Obama Admits Muslim Faith.

Obama was responding to allegations that he was Muslim, and by the phrase "my Muslim faith" pretty clearly was referring to "allegations (that I deny) that I am Muslim".
