Obama: 'My Muslim Faith'

Sun, Sep 7, 2008 at 9:37:58 am PDT

Oops!

Youtube Video

Luckily, he has ABC News and George Stephanopoulos to jump in and correct him.

UPDATE at 9/7/08 1:26:13 pm:

Please note: I’m absolutely not saying that Obama has made a shocking Freudian slip and revealed a secret devotion to Islam. This is posted because it shows that Obama’s getting seriously rattled by all this attention, and making dumb mistakes as a result.

And it’s also interesting to see a supposedly “impartial” interviewer rushing to correct his mistake.

UPDATE at 9/7/08 2:27:21 pm:

Just for the record, here’s a longer version of this clip, showing the conversation before and after the section shown above: Hot Air: No, Obama didn’t “admit” to being a Muslim on ABC.

Although I get great pleasure from all the jokes about the 57 states, I believe this is another example of simply a slip of the tongue. (Made more likely due to the fact that the interview was teleprompter-free.)

The youtube clip is titled, "obama gaffes on faith".

It was not a gaffe in the sense of a freudian slip, it was just that he left out the word "alleged", 0bambi was just being a little too glib.

Why does the interviewer correct him?

Cuz Stephanopolous had more sense about how badly that sounded, than did 0bambi. Note that 0bambi stays with it even after the attempted correction.

0bambi really has a tin ear about a lot of things, and I'll bet a lot of that is his formative years not in the USA. Maybe we should be glad, then again, maybe his ideas would be more reasonable if his early training and instincts were more American.

40 rwmofo  Sun, Sep 7, 2008 9:45:40am

I didn't catch this, but watched a few minutes of Chris Wallace interviewing David Axelrod on FNS. He made a point to evade all the questions simply because he only had a limited amount of time to spew his "talking points." All his answers to questions about Obama contained the name "McCain." Axelrod is a total worm.

I caught a few minutes of Brokaw interviewing Biden on MTP and felt about as attracted to those two as if I were watching my two ex-wives. Brokaw took easily over 60 seconds to ask Biden a question. If I were Biden, I would have said "So was there a question?" I think that Biden's answer was "Hey, at least we're not Republicans."

Frankly, it's not so much that he said "Muslim faith"; rather he looks like he's lost control of the whole campaign. McCain played this one so brilliantly that I'm not even sure if he and his campaign realized how great the results could be, and how quickly they'd take place.

I hope its okay to repost a link I found this morning.

MaggiesFarm today linked to an interview Nancy Pelosi's did for Ladies Home Journal a few years ago that sounds like an endorsement of Sarah Palin ..

[Link: www.poorandstupid.com...]


LHJ: You are a mother of five and were a homemaker for many years before entering politics. You say in your book that the skills you honed doing those things were the same ones you needed when you got to Congress. How so?

NP: Absolutely, and this is what I want women to know, so they recognize the value of their own path, their unique experience. I've been in politics a while, over 20 years in the Congress of the United States, and this is a very rough-and-tumble.... I shouldn't say 'rough,' let me say a very challenging arena to be in. But as challenging as it is, nothing is as challenging as raising a family -- nothing. That experience forced me to be disciplined, diplomatic, focused, and successful, and I brought that discipline and focus to the Congress. Also, having a family keeps you focused on the future, which is the biggest inspiration in politics. In order to do what it takes to succeed in politics, you have to be inspired by your constituents, the power of your ideas, and the fact that you speak on behalf of children and their future, whether you have children of your own or not. It makes all the difference in the world.

I suggested that perhaps Obama was on allergy medication due to the hay at the interview location and perhaps that would explain his sleepy-looking eyes and slip of the tongue.

Then someone mentioned Ellen Feiss. I didn't know who she was and wondered if she was an Olympic athlete (because of Silken Laumann's experience), so I did an internet search and was reminded of the commercial Ellen Feiss was in and that she said she appeared stoned due to allergy medicine.

Silken Laumann is a Canadian athlete who was disqualified for something because she failed a drug test and she blamed it on allergy or cold medication.

Rush said the other day that the National Enquirer owner is a friend of the Clintons. That makes lots of sense when you consider the Enquirer chose to destroy John Edwards at the precise time when Obama was selecting his vp running mate. The timing cleared the way for Clinton to be a much more likely vp pick for Obama.

If the Enquirer is keeping SP's face on the supermarket stands, it may be Hillary trying to destroy a rival for Pope of Women in this country.

A reader at Commentary writes:

Joe NS Says:
September 6th, 2008 at 2:50 PM

The Democratic campaign is not in a meltdown. The proper image, I believe, is that of a long metal chain the links of which are one by one sliding off the edge of a bench. One can see what is happening, very slowly at first and then accelerating, with horror or glee depending on party affiliation; but it’s very definitely underway.

It is nearly impossible to credit it, but the Palin pick has caught the Democrats so flat-footed that they have clearly decide the only counterpunch they have is to argue that Sarah Palin cannot be a mother and a vice-president at the same time. That is a flat-out incredible position for a Democrat to take. It is unvarnished surrealism. And I fear it might even work. The truth, however, is that they really have no other option at this point. Largely because of the psychology of BO himself, I believe.

In any sensible assessment of his current predicament, Obama MUST IGNORE Sarah Palin. To have the Democratic presidential nominee fencing on almost a daily basis with the Republicans nominee for vice-president is only a little short of insane. Palin was wrong on one matter: the longer the jousting between them continues, the more voters will notice that the proper level of comparison of Obama and Palin is not between Obama as community organizer and Palin as mayor, but between Obama as community organizer and Palin as a member of the Wasilla, Alaska, PTA. Obama should put Sarah Palin out of his head. So why can’t he?

It’s simple: She’s sexier than he is.

One of the things that has always seemed to me creepiest about the 2008 presidential campaign has been its erotic - I would even say homoerotic - atmospherics. Sheer celebrity, of course, tends to push things that way, to be sure; but with Obama something else has been going on, something that is often referred to as “narcissism” or “self-absorption” or, more honestly, as “seductiveness.” Though others may take offense, I think it was always more the self-fascination one sees in a young girl posing in front of a mirror. Edwards displayed the syndrome as well, but once he left the race, Obama had the enchantress slot all to himself. McCain? Hillary? I don’t think so.

Now here is Sarah Palin, who directly threatens the male narcissist’s amour propre because she seems to be reorienting the eroticism in the campaign toward its “traditional” locus in ordinay life: toward the female. Sarah Palin is amazingly erotic. But even more amazing: It’s perhaps the least important thing about her? Like a belle who meets an unforeseen competitor for the title of most alluring, Obama has reacted badly and, let’s be honest, a little bit cattily.

In sum, hell hath no fury . . . .

Interesting take.

I'm not angry, though. I'm darkly amused at the poo the Democrats are flinging at the wall in their attempt to knock down this highly-qualified candidate. This is yet another confirmation of how unserious the Democratic Party is about America's business.

And let's not forget this smear from the Obamessiah just a few days ago. Saith the slimy One:

“I know that I’m not your typical presidential candidate, and I just want to be honest with you. I know that. And I know that the temptation is to say, ‘You know what? …The guy hasn’t been there that long in Washington.’ You know, ‘He’s got funny name.’ You know, ‘We’re not sure about him.’ And that’s what the Republicans, when they say, ‘This isn’t about issues, it’s about personalities,’ what they’re really saying is, ‘We’re going to try to scare people about Barack. So we’re going to say that you know, maybe he’s got Muslim connections or we’re going to say that, you know, he hangs out with radicals or he’s not patriotic.’ Just making stuff up, or that ‘He never’s gotten anything done,’ even though over the last 20 years I’ve given health care to kids who didn’t have it.”

Rush said the other day that the National Enquirer owner is a friend of the Clintons. That makes lots of sense when you consider the Enquirer chose to destroy John Edwards at the precise time when Obama was selecting his vp running mate. The timing cleared the way for Clinton to be a much more likely vp pick for Obama.

If the Enquirer is keeping SP's face on the supermarket stands, it may be Hillary trying to destroy a rival for Pope of Women in this country.

~ born to a Muslim father = he is a Muslim
~ schooling in Indonesia
~ Wright and his Masters degree in Islam
~ campaigning for Raila Odinga in Kenya
~ church ties to Farrakhan and NOI
~ Mansoor/sponsorship to Harvard
~ ties to Rezko/his Syrian roots
~ "my Muslim faith"
~ "Iran's a tiny country and no danger" (or something to that effect)
~ willingness to negotiate without precondition with terrorist states
~ attempts to hide Muslim affiliation (burka girls at rally)
~ no drilling for oil = keep us on the Muslim teat and transfer our wealth
~ Hamas support/fund raising
~ 'that' flag pin, failure to put hand over heart during Pledge of Allegiance
~ taqiyya-esque (in my view) efforts to bring down the U.S. through other
Marxian means

Hmmm. The full video of that interview is up at ABC. This slip wasn't quite as bad as the short excerpt makes it sound. George was challenging Obama about his claim that the McCain campaign has implied he's a Muslim and after bobbing and weaving around a little he was awkwardly admitting, sort of, that the campaign hadn't done that but its supporters had.

[Obama] What I was suggesting ... You are absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my uh Muslim faith, and you're absolutely right that that is not ...

[Stephanopolous] Christian faith

[Obama] ... that my, my Christian faith, and, well, what I'm saying is that he hasn't suggested that I'm I'm I'm a Muslim, and I think that uh his uh his campaign uh upper echelons have not either.

Then he went on to say that the "Republican camp" is suggesting he's not who he says he is when it comes to his faith. It's at around -3:00 on the third segment.

Take all this with a grain of salt. Listening to the Art Bell show over the years, many shows were about the anti-Christ. Who is he? Where is he? etc. They said first he would appear as a Messiah, God's gift to humanity, he would solve major conflicts around the world, deceive the people into thinking he was heaven sent, then he would unleash the dark forces. When I look at the list above, we may have just found our man. LOL!

The Dalai Bama can't remember what religion he is or how many States are in the country he wants to lead.. I'm just waiting for the intern he "forgot" about to make an appearance. Preferably some time in October.

For a moment, I actually felt sorry for Hillary that she didn't get the nomination. Watching this screwup steal her campaign and then pile drive it into the ground must be too much for her to bear.

And you know, they'll never stop blaming Bush. They knew from day one, he saw through their transparent agenda. He wasn't fooled. Therefore, they had to vilify him to get their message across.

The Dalai Bama can't remember what religion he is or how many States are in the country he wants to lead.. I'm just waiting for the intern he "forgot" about to make an appearance. Preferably some time in October.

For a moment, I actually felt sorry for Hillary that she didn't get the nomination. Watching this screwup steal her campaign and then pile drive it into the ground must be too much for her to bear.

This ongoing "O-production" illustrates to me how significant the Left's and anti-American's foothold in the country really is, and how visionary our Founding Fathers were in their construction of the Electoral College. That he's managed (or been managed) to get this far, is eye-opening.

At the current pace O's messianic varnish should be worn off before Election Day, however as one of the Communist archetypes once opined, "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything."

My primary concern this election cycle is that voter fraud in the handful of densely populated blue city/counties (the wellspring of the Left,) could surpass and offset the legitimate votes within a state's red counties elsewhere resulting in a dude with a middle name of Hussein being President.

Now, where's my paranoia medication and tin-foil hat?

re: #243 Sprite

Yes, I'd forgotten about the "beauty of the Muslim call to prayer".

Its quite clear (and true of his own admission) that Obama has considerable exposure to Islam, including some indoctrination as a child. Much of his family *IS* Muslim, after all.

But that said, I don't think anyone *seriously* believes he is a secretly practicing Muslim.

To the extent that his "Muslimness" (to coin a word) matters at all, its only to the extent that he has absorbed Islamic philosophy or ideology as a kid.

In other words, you don't have to be a practicing Catholic to have had your worldview shaped by several years in Catholic school, etc.

Last week, I went surfing through some of those leftist sites, trying to view the political stream in it's whole. All I got was basically: "Bush's fault, Bush = Evil, McCain = Bush = Evil" and a TON of socialist propaganda in coded language (economic fairness, economic democracy..etc..). And it's all said through either an narration of Hate or Victimization. And looking back on my own 8 years under Bush, I don't see the same reaction. I don't see the trampling on the Constitution that they are claiming, or the claims of Fascism. They are blanketed in their own ignorance and anger. They will continue to push the hate on each and every Republican whether it be John McCain or Sarah Palin.

Here is the quote from Obama's own website:
[Link: www.barackobama.com...]

''I was a little Jakarta street kid,'' he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, [Link: www.nytimes.com...] He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his
elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics -- and more likely to be aware of their nationalism -- if he once studied the Koran with them.

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as ''one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.''

Has anyone kept a running list of O's ties (of various degrees) to Islam?

Ive got:

~ born to a Muslim father = he is a Muslim
~ schooling in Indonesia
~ Wright and his Masters degree in Islam
~ campaigning for Raila Odinga in Kenya
~ church ties to Farrakhan and NOI
~ Mansoor/sponsorship to Harvard
~ ties to Rezko/his Syrian roots
~ "my Muslim faith"
~ "Iran's a tiny country and no danger" (or something to that effect)
~ willingness to negotiate without precondition with terrorist states
~ attempts to hide Muslim affiliation (burka girls at rally)
~ no drilling for oil = keep us on the Muslim teat and transfer our wealth
~ Hamas support/fund raising
~ 'that' flag pin, failure to put hand over heart during Pledge of Allegiance
~ taqiyya-esque (in my view) efforts to bring down the U.S. through other
Marxian means

I've believed he's a closet Muslim for some time now. It is precisely because of that that I am Obamaphobic. I pray that McCain/Palin succeed.

re: #318 looking closely

Its quite clear (and true of his own admission) that Obama has considerable exposure to Islam, including some indoctrination as a child. Much of his family *IS* Muslim, after all.

But that said, I don't think anyone *seriously* believes he is a secretly practicing Muslim.

To the extent that his "Muslimness" (to coin a word) matters at all, its only to the extent that he has absorbed Islamic philosophy or ideology as a kid.

In other words, you don't have to be a practicing Catholic to have had your worldview shaped by several years in Catholic school, etc.

I disagree.
With this man's radical ties to Ayers, Wright and yes Farrakhan and with all we know about him is it possible he a believer in Islam?- yes. T presume otherwise is to take himat his word - I am not willing to do that because his word is different on any given day.

I basically agree with you, except that over the years - and in the not so recent past - he has cultivated many ties (and even campaigned for, in '06, I believe) those who actively support the imposition of Sharia law.

With Dems the media role seems be to act as little helpers. The Swift boat attack by an independent group in 2004 would have been presented by the mainstream media if it would hurt Republicans but since it hurt dems they had to do their best to try to ignore it or debunk it (the NY Times tried its best ). I fully expect a last minute attack by the media such as the Bush's 1976 DWI brought up in 2000 or the CBS Dan Rather National Guard hit in 2004. If this was the 1990 the CBS Rather hit would NOT have been debunked and Mr. Rather would have had the power to choose the US President. The amazing thing is it is the Republicans that are labeled the fascists.

I was looking for an altrernate source -- B.O.'s own Web site will do nicely!

I vote for this being an update: B.O.'s own campaign Website quotes the NY Times thus,

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as ''one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.

A reminder: the prayer says,

"Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... "

It's not as great as you might think. The debates are always structured so that the candidates can just rattle off talking points.

I have a hunch that Obama would dearly LOVE for McCain to touch it (or even appear to). That would let Obama play the victim card.


Won't happen, McCain is too smart

re: #422 Sharmuta

I agree- McCain should just continue to drive the energy issue home.

I spoke with a left leaning gentleman last night- he mentioned the oil fields in North Dakota. I said drilling for American oil would create a lot of jobs and reduce the price at the pump, and that I felt it was the cost of fuel that was really hurting our economy. The more the issue kept coming up over the course of the night, I would just start chanting "drill, Baby, drill!". I think I chuipped away at this guys vote for 0bama. I think it's the winning issue- McCain just needs to drive that baby all the way home.
