I’ve thought about that. I have been Catholic all of ny life. The words “my Muslim faith” could never come out of my mouth, whatever the situation. Brain freeze, national media interview. It just could not happen.

You just typed them.

Yeah, but Obama spent part of his childhood in Indonesia and may have been a Muslim at that point in his life. During the campaign (despite his claiming to be Christian and attending a Christian church) lots of people were saying he was a Muslim, and of course he was very aware of that. So it would have been natural for him to have thoughts about “being Muslim” on his mind as he spoke about his faith. It would have been easy to slip and use the M word without meaning it, which I think is what happened.

Bingo.
Can anyone imagine a Jew suddenly misspeaking and saying my Baptist faith ?
Or a white person suddenly misspeaking and saying my Masai relatives ?
Or a Muslim misspeaking and accidentally saying my Christian faith ?
This type of 180 “ slip of the tongue “ just does not happen.

That's something I've been saying ever since I saw that interview with Georgie. As a Catholic I too see that there is no Christian anywhere that would ever make that mistake.

Ever!
