John McCain never raised it! But the libs have raised Sarah Palin's faith. Who brought up the Muslim issue? Obama himself, that's who!

Someone should get the Muslim prayer times for North America and see if Barry’s trips to the washroom with a little floor mat coincide with them. Hehe, know what I mean?

Is their video or audio when Obama said we have 57 states? 57 Muslim states?

I'm convinced we don't know the truth about Obama's background. I'm convinced both of those "memoirs" he "wrote" were largely fabrications created to set the table for his eventual presidential run. I mean...how many people graduate from a prestigious school like Harvard Law, then run off to Chicago to become a lecturer, then spend much of the time on that job living in Bali and writing a memoir? Most people who are in their early post-university period are busy building their careers, not writing way too premature memoirs.

I wish my first employer after I got out of school allowed me to run off to Bali for an extended period.

It’s stuff like this which demonstrate why the supposedly brilliant and articulate candidate Hussein Obama, chooses his words so very ... CAREFULLY.

He’s trying to keep his stories straight!

He can’t speak extemporaneously like John McCain, because he needs to keep careful track of his lies, and what to hide.

Just like this.

He was saying that McCain was doing what he’s did with Palin - putting denying any involvement while encouraging his surrogates to attack.

Remember 9/11 and who was behind it.

But...but...the conspiracy "truthers" have assured me that aircraft was superimposed on the WTC tower using Photoshop, and the smoke and flames were not real, and Bush brought the towers down for oil, and...well, you know.

snicker

Sorry for that mess - Obama accussed McCain of doing what he himself did with Palin - saying it was off limits while encouraging every vicous behind the scenes attack.

He might also be thinking of the birth certificate issue. I wouldn’t at all be surprised, assuming he actually was born in the U.S.A., that the reason behind suppressing the real certificate is the religion shown on it.

Ummm...no gaffe: Did you read this:

Because if Obama were not a Muslim, he could not possibly have said "My Muslim Faith" and indeed, "my Christian faith" would make no sense in that context. He might have said "accusations that I am a muslim" or "claims that I have muslim connections"

Believe me, I’d love an indisputable thing (so no, my point of view is that he is a POS and possibly a black liberation theology nutcase — or even a Muslim who believes lying is just fine and dandy), but as much as I wish this was one, I don’t think it was. There’s no way to prove either one of us is correct.

I intensely dislike the guy and everything he stands for and would delight in an unambigous unconscious revelation like that!

Add in the previous slip of “57 states” and it makes you wonder.

I fully believe that if Obama were elected, it would be a short matter of time afterward that he would make an official conversion to Islam while in office.

I guess he forgot to call his life line on “WHAT IS HIS ACTUAL FAITH”

I really don’t think this is that big a deal. At most, a slip if the tongue. I wouldn’t hang too much on it.

You watch it. The MSM will crucify Sarah with video from some Pentecostal church, making fun of any aspect of some branches of that particular denomination and labeling it “dangerous” and “uneducated”. Not all non-denominational Christian churches can be classified as “Pentecostal”. - Meantime, Obama’s religion is skirted around in a politically correct manner. Boy. Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s searing, unpatriotic rhetoric could have been classified as “talking on tongues”.

This is a non-story. Looking at the context of the conversation, I think it was a brain-addled mistake. Of course, if it were Dan Quayle, it would be a sign of mental retardation, not an honest confusion of thoughts.

Two things I see here:

1. It’s not a Freudian slip. To his discredit, Obama clearly can’t concentrate on the fly. He’s proven it before. i.e., I’m pretty sure he knows there’s only fifty states. That’s why he won’t have a Town Hall meeting. Nail him on that, not the content of the gaffe.

2. Leave the nitpicking and ambushing to the Dems. There’s more than enough reasons of substance that Obama won’t be elected. Dwelling on an explainable gaffe is beneath our level of discourse...

Just my opinion. Most won’t agree. But let’s not turn this into something it’s not.
