I don’t think he was admitting that he was a Muslim, but he certainly phrased it strangely. However, he’s very prone to these odd statements, which probably are Freudian slips in their truest sense. I believe it was yesterday that he said he was having to learn a lot as president, and then corrected himself and said “as a presidential candidate.” He actually does think of himself as President already, and I think the Muslim slip, while not an admission, was pretty revealing.
He’s only a brilliant orator when he’s reading from a teleprompter—which is why he turned down McCain’s request for a series of townhall meetings. All he was trying to say was that McCain has not referred to him being a muslim. You’re right that he did not say it that way, though, but everyone knew what he meant.
I don’t mind trying to make something out of this kind of thing, though, because the effect of it is that he’s running scared, and afraid to say anything. He talks very slowly and deliberately, trying to avoid making a mistake of phraseology. And that reduces the impact of his message.
That's not only a mark of someone who's been elevated beyond his ability, it means he's a front for something else.
Fox News is running an expose’ on Obama right now. It doesn’t look like the neighborhood benefited from his community organizing one iota.
