John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith...” Context...need...context...

Obama begins by says, "Ah...uh....let's not play games."

Will you look at the backdrop of the video and tell me he is not playing games. He is in a farmers barn where hay and farm implements are stored with wagon wheels visible in the "set". And he has the balls to say, "Let's not play games". He thinks we are all stupid!

Hey, nice catch about the barn and hay. I saw it, and it nagged me, but you revealed why. He’s trying to come off as Joe Farmer, soldier wannabe?

Anybody buying that?

The context is everything here, and let me suggest the context. Steffi was asking him about his claims that he's been misrepresented by Reps as being Muslim by virtue of his funny nname. This is a statement he's made four times that have been recorded. Steffi asked if McCain or his campaign had made these allegations about his being a Muslim.

The haloed one's response was either a freudian slip or a sign of confusion. The correct answer should have ben the McCain has never accused me of being a Muslim. His response that McCain has never questioned his Muslim Faith makes no sense. Steffi's assistance by substituting Christian Faith also makes no sense in the context of the question. Accusing someone of being a Muslim is an active direct allegation.Questioning his Christian faith can lead down many avenues,see how Palin's Christianity is being questioned by the AP.

This flub, gaffe, or admission is important. At best it shows a tendency for the haloed one's mind to lose complete focus, even during vital public head to heads with the media. At the very worst it could show a deception and manipulation of staggering implications.

If he were to be a Muslim, that fact should go unnoticed in this republic, but lies, deception, and manipulation must bring about a reckoning.
