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.

Selma: Are you gay?
Troy: Gay?! I wish! If I were gay there'd be no problem! No, what I have is a romantic abnormality, one so unbelievable that it must be hidden from the public at all cost. You see...
Trying that again with different characters...
George: Are you Muslim?
Barack: Muslim?! I wish! If I were Muslim there'd be no problem! No, what I have is a religious and philosophical abnormality, one so unbelievable that it must be hidden from the public at all cost. You see...
I would generally agree, everyone messes up sometime however with Barry these “slips” are just piling up.
Yeah, like just the other day, I was gonna say we’ll be in church on Sunday, and I said temple instead, happens all the time..
no, we are promulgating the notion that Obama is really dumb.
muslims also tithe. it is called Zakat
“It is an obligation on Muslims to pay 2.5% of the wealth which they have had for a full lunar year, 2.5% of goods used for trade, and 5% or 10% of certain type of harvests depending on irrigation.”
The bigger story is that Stepphy Boy CORRECTED a gaff made by a candidate for POTUS....!
Sounds picky, you say?
Picture Dan Rather covering the verbal misstep of say, George Bush senior, and the point is made —OUTLANDISH, OR WHAT?
HE wouldn’t have done that in a MILLION YEARS...!!! And NONE of them would have!
I saw it, he said it, and that settles it!
I think bambi would be a complete idiot to try that.He will get the rabid left regardless what he says but the middle will come to McCains’side as they are starting to move now.This is so rich.
after 8 years of Bushisms, it’s nice to see the tables turned for a change.
Yeah, but WE are now!
From your lips to Gods ears,
Anyone who has been reading ‘The Obama File’ by our fellow Freeper, Beckwith, knew all this stuff long ago.
THE EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING:

The rats are surley drinking white liquor and getting roaring drunk knowing that this “gaffe” has seriously damaged any chance of taking the whitehouse this time around.Oh and they can hang it up for 2012 as well.Going to be fun to watch.
Of course. Happens to all of us.
For example, I was sitting down to dinner with my lovely wife, and I really meant to ask her to please pass the salt when I slipped up and said “You ugly cow, you ruined my life”.
(these are the jokes, people...tap tap...is this thing on??...)
But the point remains...no one makes such a colossal screw up if it isn’t on their mind to begin with.
Another reason Obama is not a Christian of deep faith...he doesn’t believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven/God. That’s why we’re called Christians and Obama can’t be.
Shouldn't that be "certificate of *virgin* birth" ?
And the missing years between the ages of 12 and Harvard Law School?
And "community organizer" ... that's surely close enough to "carpenter"...
The parallels just keep on getting closer and closer.
NOT!
My favorite part of this interview is the fact that he isn’t, again, wearing a tie...just Ahmadinejad, the other devout Christian I see on t.v. so much, waving the parading missiles with “Death to America” on them.
His mother didn’t raise him, she dumped him off at her parents for raising and he’s been nursing the grudge since that day.
