IMHO, Obama would not be president today if it were not for George Stephanopoulis bailing him out here.

From a 2008 interview:

OBAMA: (snip) You're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith, and you're absolutely right that that has not come -

STEPHANOPOULOS: Your Christian faith.

OBAMA: My Christian faith - well, what I'm saying is -

---

Obama’s defenders say that he simply misspoke here. Still, it's very odd.

[fuzzylogic]

Yep, that struck me as “too strange” also. I can’t imagine ANY Christian making that mistake.

I’m sorry but he’s studied the Koran in Indonesia and spent his “Christian” time in a black liberation theology church.

...not sure what type of “Christian” that could make him.

“You’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith”

Exactly; we are supposed to ignore all of the things Obama has said without his teleprompter handlers (they don’t count).

He really is a stupid idiot, and I can see why he needed his R2-D2 unit to speak to kindergarteners.

Again Obama lets the truth slip out when he’s off the teleprompter or a script.

[holden]

I suppose we are forced to attribute the very continuing existence of those 18-1/2 seconds of truth (think Mary Lincoln) to the fact the Georgie didn't know his way around digital editing software, or have a closer relationship with the video editor. Surely Steppenalloverus understood the potential damage after it "slipped" out. Perhaps it was already the third take and Georgie figured, rather than call further attention to it, as guy-in-charge he'd just nonchalantly dispose of it later, but then was distracted by a (well-timed?) Clinton request to get on the kneepads.

” - - - John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith - - - “

Is Obama two-faced, or is he two-faithed?

[RipSawyer]

Misspoke my aching arse, no one says MY Muslim faith unless he is a Muslim, that is one error of speech that does not happen, it is equivalent to a straight man saying, “My opponent has not mentioned my homosexuality.” That would never be said, instead it would be expressed as, “My opponent has not accused me of being a homosexual.” If Obama were NOT a Muslim he would have said something like, “John McCain has not tried to call me a Muslim.”

One thing is for certain Obama is NOT a Christian as he has claimed, that is equivalent to calling himself an Eagle, he can say it as often as he likes but he will damned sure never fly. Only a total fool could believe that he is a Christian.
