Obama’s ‘My Muslim Faith’ Gaffe Fuels New Round of Rumor-Busting

Barack Obama’s campaign brushed off suggestions Monday that a verbal gaffe the Democratic candidate made during a weekend television interview is anything more than just that.

In an interview Sunday with ABC’s “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos, Obama tried to suggest that FOX News and others “closely allied” to Republicans are promulgating the notion that the Illinois senator is Muslim.

Asked about whether McCain himself has done anything to suggest he’s Muslim, Obama said, “Let’s not play games. What I was suggesting — you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you’re absolutely right that that has not come…”

“Christian faith,” Stephanopoulos interrupted, correcting Obama.

“After a 19-month, 50-state campaign, Americans know that Barack Obama is a Christian of deep faith who loves this country and believes we must restore its promise,” LaBolt told FOXNews.com.

I can PEOVE that Obama is NOT a "Christian of deep faith" by using Obama's own income tax returns.

Observe that for the years 2000 thru 2004, the Obamas' income was well over $1,000,000 yet his charitable contributions were less than $11,000 for the entire 5 year period. What does this mean? This means that Obama's "deep Christian faith" is a sham because he does not tithe as God has commanded. Not only does he not tithe, he doesn't even come close!

For further searching of his tax returns, go to this link.

When asked about their charitable contributions, both Barak and Michelle declined to comment. For the Obamas the government is your brother's keeper.

Dang it! I meant to say “I can PROVE that Obama is NOT a “Christian of deep faith” by using Obama’s own income tax returns.”

C’mon folks, let’s not get all NITALLY PICKY over one little verbal slip!

Did you see George instinctively jump into the ‘shark-infested waters’ with large innertube and try to save Obamy’s hide as soon as he realized what his pal said?

[TribalPrincess2U]

Well, even though I see no gifts to any Christian entity, I’ll take him AT HIS WORD.

[BigEdLB]

I thought "unbiased" interviewers weren't supposed to correct errors...

[Carl LaFong]

At the very best, this and the other countless gaffes (which the Obamedia are keeping hidden the best they can)demonstrate that he’s a scatter-brained dufus.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I saw it. He jumped in by instinct to save his Obamessiah.

For the Obamas the government is your brother's keeper.

This has been the position of the "progressive" (now, liberal/leftwing) movement for a hundred years. It is the reason the field of "social work" was invented as a discipline by Columbia: to insure that the poor got everything they could from the government. And they actaully discouraged private charity--it "allowed the government to get off the hook."

One of the "progressives'" biggest boosters was Theodore Roosevelt(R).

I’m surprised that George did not edit that out, or do a take 2. Maybe they erroneously thought it was no big deal.

“After a 19-month, 50-state campaign, Americans know that Barack Obama is a Christian of deep faith who loves this country and believes we must restore its promise,” LaBolt told FOXNews.com.

Barack is not a Christian. Christians don't promote Abortion, Infanticide, Sodomy, Evolution, and Gay Marriage.

Is this on video somewhere?

[BigEdLB]

And Zogby calls Sarah Palin strident to Dennis Miller and suddenly clarifies to “perceived” stridency... Ummmm Yeah.... unbiased polling... MSM & thier allies

[Brilliant]

He tithes to the government. That’s his religion.

[Longhair_and_Leather]

If the McCain camp is asked about it, they should say, “Whatever the Senator says his faith is, we take him at his word.”, and say NOTHING else about it.

[sinanju]

That’s one thing I’m not worried about.

Obama’s anthropologist mother raised him to think of any and all religion as the opiate of the masses.

Why should I or anyone else believe anything from these sewer dwellers? Obama says he has a muslim faith, I believe him, not some meaningless flunkie.

Perfect.

I watched the video on YouTube. What struck me was not the slip of the tongue but the complete incoherence of his answers to George. Listen to his words and try to make sense of them. So much for his eloquence.
