Freudian Slip - "My Muslim faith..." - Obama
NBC | 9-7-2008 | NBC

Posted on 09/07/2008 7:58:34 AM PDT by smith288

Barry Obama has slipped on his own faith by saying "John McCain has not... talked about... My muslim faith"

Of which Stephanopolous carried the water and corrected him by saying "Christian faith".

I think this is a VERY telling freudian slip by Barrack.

The follow-up question, of course, is why Stephanopolous felt obligated to correct Obama?

Covering for the great leader becomes reflexive, I suppose...

“is Obama really an American, or is he more truthfully a post-national citizen of the world{?}...”

Why, he is a citizen of the world:

A transcendent being who will prevent the ocean’s tides from rising, the worlds glaciers from melting, and the earth from cooling.

He will bring all the Nations and all the people together in peace and racial harmony; where war will be a thing of the past, and the Lion will lay down with the lamb.

He will do great and marvelous things and the name Barack will be chanted from all the 4 corners of the world:

For HE is the Great Lord Obama!

On the other hand there are those foolish and lost souls that believe he is nothing but a 2 bit hustler:

The kind of bamboozler that can be found on every other street-corner of any big city in America... but what do they know?

That vid looks like an cutting-room job. It goes:

"John McCain has not talked about"

<cut to closeup>

"my Muslim faith".

<fadeout>

So the question I have is, what was the context of the phrase "my Muslim faith"? It still looks suspicious that he would use that phrase (which seems to be itself intact). Did the video editor have to cut out 45 sec. of "uhh, um", etc., to make it viewable? Or did the "my Muslim faith" come from a different part of the interview?

Inquiring minds, etc.

To summarise:

for some reason, Obama switches in the quote from speaking about his [putatively nonexistent] “Muslim connections,” to stating, after signficant badgering by Stephanopolous, that “McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith.”

Given that we know Obama attended mosques for Friday prayers as a child, the claim that he had no Muslim connections is ridiculous on its face, whether or not he ever considered himself a practising Muslim.

It seems like a guilty conscience, since the word that clearly is uppermost in his mind concerning linkages between himself and Islam turns out to be “faith,” not “connections” or “friends and relatives.”

It’s there, all in the same sentence. No cuts or anything.

Stephanopolous actually corrects him and says “Christian”.

Only then does Obama say “My Christian faith”.

It certainly sounds like the same sentence, but that is the point. The video DOES have a cut.

Also, the version linked above does not include Stephanopoulos's correction. Wish it did, b/c that makes the meaning clear even though they cut to the closeup camera in the middle of 0bama's sentence.
