I see no difference, it still seems to me that Obambi slipped, he made the Muslim comment too quickly/confidently/casually, he didn’t immediately pick it up if it was in fact a mistake on his part and it took Steph to correct him. One more thing, I think Steph was tough on him, he didn’t cover for Obambi, he kept defending the McCain campaign against Obambi’s disgraceful inferences. The messiah is not ready for prime time to say the least.
He hadn't even realized he'd made a slip. George was nice enough to rephrase Bambi's answer for him, putting words in his mouth.
