notice how Obama stopped George- when George tried to link two completely different things together to call them the same thing.
what? oh? you managed to NOT include this portion.
notice how Obama was very specific in addressing his absolute objection to politics by personality...oh wait, what? you mean you kind of forgot to include important parts of this interview? hmmm...
this is typical of the types of items that get posted here by this "host"
take select snippets and blow them up to mean something entirely different.
you know darn well what was said- and those of us who listened to the ENTIRE interview know what was said. the entire transcript is available for those of you actually interested in knowing the truth.
Also, I looked for the entire video on Youtube but NONE WERE AVAILABLE. This is from Yahoo, so blame them.
Again, tell me why you are here?
Now answer my question. Do you work for Obama; because if you do; all of your comments are NOT VALID. Of course, we know you won't admit it.
I am retired and work for no one.
Your claim that your post did not say Obama is a Muslim- your heading proves otherwise. Why imply it if you do not mean to suggest it? that is my question.
If you could be trusted to seek out truth- and place it here, I would move along. But - you just don't.
I have found some potentially very damaging information on Ms Palin- but, because I am still seeking confirmation of this from multiple sources, I will not pass this along as fact...oh, that you could possibly understand this notion.
My headline simply states ... Obama Slips ... and that's followed by "This is what happens when your speechwriter takes the weekend off."
I know I am not a comedian but this was my attempt to add humor to all you mad people.

But I suppose you will just accuse me of working for Obama too, because apparently anyone who has an opposing view must have some sort of agenda.
haha, even if I did post it from Google (btw, your link from my computer still says that it's no longer available), my intention was only to post that tidbit anyway; hence the title of the post.
Get a sense of humor.
I have a sense of humor, but unfortunately it still requires that something be funny for it to be triggered.
But I guess I could find some humor in the way you are so quick to try and deflect blame to Y! Video for hosting the clip...even though you promote its out of context content on your blog.
well I guess my punch line "This is what happens when your speechwriter takes the weekend off" needs a little work..
I am not blaming Yahoo! for anything. I went to Google and couldn't find the clip. I went to Yahoo Video and search for "Obama Video" and that was in the search results. Now that's funny. hahaha.
Check out this new book on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Who-REAL-Barack-Obama-gen...
Just watching the way that these people and Toe your one of them, have hammered Sara is just plain stupid. I'm not saying give her a free pass, but first came the personel attacks (with all the lies). Then came all the lies about her record. The depper and depper I look, the more and more I like about this lady.
While she answers questions, and allows her personel life to be talked about all day long, Obama still has yet to answer why he worked for ACORN, and has a terrorist as one of his best buddies.
The tenasity, and the holy then thou attitude that Toe and her ilk have is just sick. I just wonder if you people hate this country so bad what are you still doing here?
The "enemy" is not some religion you neither know nor understand, the "enemy" is not a culture that is foreign to us, the "enemy" is not some liberal who reads books that you don't approve of, or makes movies that your church finds objectionable, the "enemy" is not the atheist who does not believe in your bible- the "enemy" is you because you stood by and did nothing.
Jarrod - thanks buddy.

Yours come from ... let's see, Dailykos, Obama.com, Moveon.org and Mediamatters. At least quote those semi-objective goons from CNN.
come on now- at least try to show that you are responsible, mr uc.
if you can find wrong information on media matters, please point it out.
cnn has wolf and lou. pffft. 'nuff said.
I will concede one point, when it is scripted, BHO is eloquent and charismatic. However, in my opinion, the true test comes when you think for yourself, without the script and the teleprompter. BHO has shown time and again (57 states, above my pay grade, my Muslim faith) who he really is. That is a completely different person than who he touts himself to be when the script is there. That, ladies and gentlemen, scares me more about him than the message he has (or lack thereof).
I might not completely agree with McCain, but I know who he is and I haven't heard him change his core values and beliefs depending on the crowd.
Martin Luther King Day
Bush's Tax Cuts
His own immigration bill
and
His lack of love for pork and earmarks by selecting Ms Palin who has made it her business to get as much of this as possible while the chance is there.
just to name a few.
where have you been???
now for those of you that are undecided about our boy barry...
Today’s lesson in inductive reasoning:
"In his best-selling book, ‘Dreams From My Father’ and in campaign speeches, Obama frequently describes the story of his mother, who died of cancer in 1995, as a tale of the Heartland. She's the white woman from the flatlands of Kansas and the only daughter of parents who grew up in the ‘dab-smack, landlocked center of the country,’ in towns ‘too small to warrant boldface on a roadmap.’"
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/chi-0703270151mar27,0,5157609.story?page=1
"dab-smack"?
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/smack-dab?r=14
"’dab-smack, landlocked center of the country,…" No such phrase. Nobody, not author, ghostwriter, editor, proofreader nor publisher picked it up. The idiom I suspect he was trying to use to sound urbanely folksy, is ‘smack dab’. Barry’s never lived in Kansas, no wonder he’s clumsy with unfamiliar phrases.
"…in towns ‘too small to warrant boldface on a roadmap.’"
Like what towns, Eldorado? Ft. Leavenworth? Wichita? Towns the size of Wasilla, AK? Towns of embittered Americans clinging to their guns and religion?
Spoken like a true sophisticate nouveau.
Listen carefully to what words Barry uses, and you still don’t and won’t know who he is because HE doesn’t know who he is. You will certainly know he isn’t what he says he is, he’ll say anything to get elected; but he is what he is, which is precisely what he appears to be, no more, no less.
Not talking about issue flip flop. They all do it. McCain, Obama, and especially John Kerry. I am talking about the core values and beliefs that make up who we are as people. Our faith system, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist and who we chose or don't chose to worship. Not wearing a pink shirt after boycotting pink a year earlier.
What I've seen of Gov. Palin, scares the daylights out of me.
I am a practicing Catholic presently living in an urban area. While I personally do not hunt, I have friends who do - in my home rural state. And I understand where they come from.
But Gov. Palin's hunting methods scares and baffles me. I fail to understand how she can be a Christian and claim to pursue such practices.
Please see the links below
(Some of the pics were obtained from the governor's website, so pics from the governor's website have been taken down since (she hunting with her son, Track for example), wikepedia entries have also been altered since then):

Palin and her fanatic religious thoughts are just plain scary.
was this your idea of trying to be funny? weak.
And what is the defense offered here for her?
"...but she's HOT."
knuckle draggers.
As a newbie here, I would offer this comment.
1. Mr. Obama probably is not a practicing Muslim, as all texts, sources et al indicate this. Attendance is required of practicing Muslims and obviously he isn't.
2. However, he has had Koran training, associations as a youth, and does know the basics of the Muslim Faith.
3. As to his Christianity adherence, there we have a longer set of time data. Attendance at the Chicago Trinity UNC is direct evidence of his value system, some 20 years of Black Social Liberation Theology.
My Opine.
A. Mr. Obama is what is known as a sometime. occasional, opportunitistic practioner of faith. The various religions all know them as Sunday or Saturday attenders, once every blue moon. Professors of faith, agreement with the sermons, attendance occasiionally, able to say Yes I am, whatever.
B. All this to say. Mr Obama uses the label to further his position politically.
When in Muslim territory, or Christian territory, or Agnostic territory, the value system he has set forth is just that.
Folks.
The Election we have approaching is more about Obama's Fellow Travelers, than his profession of faith. The folks he assoicates and associated with, will be the Oval Office Sofa Sitters that will demand and get his patronage.
We pay for this. Vote accordingly.

Clinton Expresses Shock and Grief
Crowds Gather to Bid Farewell to Obama
(CHICAGO-September 24, 2008-AP)
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton offered the principal eulogy today at the funeral for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama. An estimated thirteen thousand mourners filled the Jehosephat African Methodist Evangelical Church and overflowed into the surrounding South Chicago neighborhood. Sen. Clinton’s stirring and reflective speech was frequently interrupted by the wails and whimpering of mourners overcome by grief. Car radios in autos parked along neighborhood streets and large-screen TVs and radios in many of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Housing Complex apartment windows were tuned to the WLS simulcast of the services. The dozens of high volume radios and televisions blended with amplified outside speakers set up around the church for mourners, and the sounds of impromptu choirs and animist grief ceremonies about the church. There was sporadic gunfire. Dogs were heard howling for blocks around. Reporters counted one hundred thirteen limousines. Most were replete with teams of liveried drivers and retainers.
Former President Bill Clinton, Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) also attended, seated on the dais. Each of the high-level politicians was surrounded by a flying box of armed bodyguards. The Obama, Dunham and Robinson families and close friends of the families and their close friends and loved ones and children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, lo unto five generations, were seated in a screened anteroom off the main sanctuary. Obama’s African and Indonesion Christian and atheist family sat with the general congregation and his muslim relatives attended a simultaneous service at the Nasariya Latifah Mosque nine blocks south of and closed-circuit linked to Jehosephat AME Church. Mrs. Michelle Obama and the two Obama daughters Malia and Natasha are still in seclusion at an undisclosed location and as nearly as can be determined at press time, did not attend the service. The three Obama children from Barack’s first marriage also did not attend. Phone calls to the listed number for Miriam Feinburg-Obama Rothstein were not returned.
Notables and dignitaries from business, entertainment and politics were seated in reserved pews in the front of the church. Oprah Winfrey and her retinue entered en masse and filled three pews draped in black satin with heavy gold thread trim. The members of the Congressional Black Caucus sat in the choir behind the pulpit and many lent their voices to spirited renditions of "I’ll Fly Away" and "Plumb ‘Cross Jordan with Jesus". The closed casket was covered with white roses and red hibiscus. There were wall-to-wall funerary sprays and flower arrangements before the chancel. Noted Hollywood Producer-Director Spike Lee had seven cameras at locations inside and outside the church filming every aspect of the drama. A spokeswoman for Mr. Lee said the documentary was being filmed to "…capture the moments of African grief", under the max-irony working title "Obama Defused".
The FBI, Secret Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Ohio State Police and Toledo Police department issued a joint statement today on the suicide bombing that killed Sen. Obama and fifteen others on Sept. 20 outside a Popeye’s Fried Chicken. The bomber, Achmed Isidraya Hukimspuk a 23-year-old unemployed janitor, left more than a dozen spiral binders of rambling grievances in his disheveled room at The Langston Arms Hotel on Eighth Street in Toledo. Law enforcement press spokesman Stefan Zoricic said teams of forensic psychologists are reading the notebooks hoping to find Mr. Hukimspuk’s reason for the suicide-killings. The imam of the Al Basrah mosque in suburban Toledo issued a joint statement with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan late yesterday that linked Hukimspuk’s action to an alleged government conspiracy to disenfranchise Black Muslims. Reverands Jessee Jackson, Jeremiah Wright and Al Sharpton also issued press statements last night and today.
Chicago and Illinois State Police spokesmen said law enforcement is being beefed up and watchful for expected outbreaks of grief-looting and other sporadic and spontaneous expressions of mourning in South Chicago. Interment is planned today at The Lilies of the Valley Eternal Repose with Allah and Mausoleum in Hillsdale in a hybrid Moslem-Christian-Unitarian entombment. The ceremony will be closed to the public.
David Axelrod, Minister of Information for the former Obama for President Campaign, said layoff notices will start going to staffers tomorrow.
The Republican National Campaign Committee had no comment again today.
It is said that the soil is cooler under the rocks, why don't you give us some first hand opinion on this? I like to hear from experts.
John McCain and his Karl Rove advice has turned his political hopes into a booger-flinging exhibition. Yesterday, as Obama rightly mocked McCain's self proclaimed (however pledgerized it is) identity of the "change" guy- Obama said" you can put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig...you can wrap a fish in a piece of paper called "change" it's still gonna stink"
Naturally, since they still have nothing upon which to run on their own, McCain and his flunky bunch want to get all up in Obama's face for making such an "obviously sexist remark".
Hmmmmm.... let's see:
McCain criticized Democratic contenders for offering what he called costly universal health care proposals that require too much government regulation. While he said he had not studied Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's health-care plan, he said it was "eerily reminiscent" of the failed plan she offered as first lady in the early 1990s.
"I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig," he said of her proposal.
John McCain- Iowa, October, 2007
As a Christian, I have never made the mistake of claiming to be Muslim. Come to think of it, I don't know of any Christians who have made this mistake.
You've never heard anyone misspeak? The Muslim conversation is only out there because people like you choose to believe it. If you want to believe or if you are inclined to believe it then your screen name is perfect. The Grandma was born a Catholic. She now claims to be a "Christian." You didn't know that I'm sure....and if misspeaking disqualifies one from being Christian, then there are no Christians left because everybody misspeaks.
What's plain and simple to me is that you have fallen for the lame tactics that are designed to divide this country. Be smarter, P&S.
worldofwarcrafters and manbearpig believers have discovered this site.
I also am a devout Catholic and am responding to your concerns. Palin being a hunter should be the least of your worries as a Christian. How could you consider yourself a Christian, more so a Catholic, if you are open to the consideration of voting for Obama. In the eyes of the Catholic church, it would be a grave sin to vote in a President who supports abortians and gay marriages.
Plain and simple makes the main point of this whole thing. Not Obama's gaffe, but Stephanopoulos being such a "team player". Instead of a follow up question that would get great play in the news, he corrects Obama! Something he would be eviscerated for if he helped out a Republican that way, on any issue. That's just amazing me. But there's no liberal bias in the media, with former Clinton press secretaries working at ABC. No, no indeed.
Keltic Poet: could ya leave the fantasizing about assassinations to the liberals? It's a tasteless and icky exercise, and while, yes, they have constantly engaged in fantasizing about the assassination of George W. Bush, it's one of those cases where turn-about isn't really fair play. Let them be the jackasses . . . we don't have to follow them down into the mud.
Their reply: Well, if Obama had joined me in the town hall meetings like (I) suggested, we would not be having this.
HUH!!? What the...?
How absurd is this? McCain is in a snit because Obama elected not to do McCain's bidding- and these ads are what? Payback?
"You won't let me win so I'm taking my marbles and going home! And I am going to slash your bicycle tires too."
What a hero. What a man.
NOT.
@Kevin- I suspect that you were one of those who deliberately chose to use Kerry's botched comment concerning Bush-
Clearly, Obama was responding to the continuing whisper campaign that started more than 1 1/2 years ago concerning his "muslim faith"- George knew it, I knew it. Everyone who followed the conversation FROM THE START knew it. You? You hear what you want to hear. Did you ever stop to think? Did you forget to start again? What's up with you anyway?
How about you actually look at real issues and knock off the lies.
How difficult is that?
To all Americans who believe Barack Obama should not be president of the United States because of his race.
Your Vote – Your Future by Connie M.
Racism is an anachronism that will stop America in her tracks
Clinging to racism is unwise and counterproductive to the max
Racism prevents utilization of the knowledge, skills and abilities of exceptionally talented and gifted individuals
This may lead to lost opportunities and ultimately, the loss of America’s status as a nation with no equals
Barack Obama’s exceptional leadership qualities and abilities
Offers Americans the chance to reshape their future and achieve success in great quantities
His proposed policies and plans definitely include you
While John McCain’s ideas offer nothing new
Clinging to the past will ensure that we get left back
If you want us to move forward, then you must vote for Barack
McCain and Palin plan to build a bridge to the past
Promoting policies that put America last
They invite us to get on their bridge, but it will only lead to disaster
Not only for us, but for generations after
Open your eyes and look around, what you see may help free your mind from mental slavery.

Obama is certainly NOT a true Christian.
The whole clip does not matter, Obama talked about his Muslim faith. I do not think we should vote someone to be President of the United States when they lie and deny who they are. If religion does not matter, than why does Obama lie about it? Have you heard Muslims refer to themselves as Christians, even though they don't believe in Jesus?
My friend is Muslim, and says her religion is a Christian religion.
You can butter you bread on both sides, but your hands will be greasy.

out.
if you actually watched the entire interview, if you actually listened - you would see that obama was addressing the year + constant crap emails that have circulated (and continue to circulate here- see "ally" post above) concerning <add "air quotes" here>
my muslim faith"- if you actually listened to what was being said instead of looking for catch phrases to slop onto your already negative self you see what was actually said. just as wes clark was responding to and repeating the exact lines before his reply concerning the fact that being shot down and being a POW are not automatic qualifiers for the job of president.
how is it that you are intent to not see things in a logical, factual way, hoboblah? is this by choice?
out.
I'll leave you with 1 final thought: Senator McCain has been inside Washington politics since 1982. Senator Obama has been inside Washington politics since 2006. Who is more of an insider, who has more lobbyist (crooks) ties, who has more special interests to answer to and the list goes on. Whether you agree with Barak Obama's politics is not the point because face it America has become a socialist nation and not McCain, not Obama or any other candidate is going to reverse the devistation wrought by big time insiders and lobbyists as an example: under President Clinton the NEA (national education association) budget went from $6Billion/year to $16Billion/year...under President Bush(W) it has gone from $16Billion/year to $66Billion/year.

He didn't "reveal" anything except that often his extemporaneous language constructions can be a little awkward. Whatever.
What was VERY revealing however, was "journalist" George Stephanopoulos' rush to correct him, protect him, defend him from what he perceived as a potential gaffe.
Indeed, his interruption momentarily nudged Obie off track, and he repeated, AS THOUGH CORRECTING HIMSELF, "my Christian faith", until he realized that that was not what he meant to say at all, and clarified his original remark.
Anybody pretending this as a Freudian slip revealing some hidden truth is an idiot...and in my opinion mindlessly partisan. And while I'd be very happy to see Obie bury himself by saying ever more revealing and stupid things, this was not one of them.
http://smouch.net/lol/
I mean, seriously, c'mon...like Bush and McSame haven't made their Freudian slips? What McLame tends to make gaffs about, though, are not about lame false accusations leveled against him, but rather things that are important. Like his lame response to the question about his willingness to meet with the President of Spain, or saying "FEC" when referring to the "SEC," or saying he'd fire the head of it when the president doesn't have that authority (or maybe he believes his 'authority' would continue to expand as it has under Cheney/Bush), or confusing Sunni & Shia, or getting the timeline wrong on the Sunni Awakening, or all the flip-flops that happened this week, or or or or or or or...
I think it's time conservatives (well, to be fair, not all of them because there are conservative democrats and even conservative republicans who understand Palin isn't the one who should have the nuclear codes) step back and consider their thinking on all of this. I've been pretty independent since I can remember. I generally don't subscribe to 'labels' for people because people are never that simple, so I'm pretty balanced about it, I think. No, Obama isn't perfect. McCain isn't perfect. But I truly can't see any reason to vote for McCain over Obama. And then it hit me...well, if I were a bigot, a racist, that would give me a reason. You see, if a person just looks at the facts they will see the reality of this choice. If a person never saw a negative ad on television or heard biased commentators on FOX or MSNBC (heck, even CNN sometimes) and just looked at each man, they would have to go with Obama, unless they were hoping that nothing would change for our country. Given that, and that all conservatives are not rich and benefitting from this administration's policies, that would have to mean that the other ones are judging Obama on his race or his religion, because he's very smart on the issues and has proven himself to be a unifier, which McCain has not really done. Sorry, but 200,000 Europeans waving American flags for Obama is significant.
While both sides have gone negative and both have blurred the truth, I honestly don't think I could count the number of blatant lies/twists that have come from McCain/Palin. Olbermann wrote a check to Alaska's Special Olympics last night to the tune of $3,700 ($100 for every lie Palin has told since their convention). Yup. That'd be 37 times she has lied. And, I would assume that she's either lying to her children as well, or worse, telling them that she's lying and that it's okay.
Done. Sorry for rambling. Can't stop tangents. Speaking of tangents...kidding.
You should not attack Toe, for speaking the truth. Do you make $5 million a year? I didn't think so.
Snippets and clips, especially those that are distorted, are quite offensive. America is not that blind, and people are not that stupid. Anything is better than what we have now.
Toe, preach it....
You don't have to work for Obama to be informed...look at the senate site, look at the bills and the votes...that should tell you enough

Just look at this. This is why Obama praised about Fairey in a personal letter to the artist that the artist has mentioned in interviews. Obama supports this activity. He actually told Fairey in a letter to keep putting street works on stop signs. Why? And why has the media not mentioned this.
obeygiant.com/headlines/full-coverage-part-1-dc#more-3231
Shepard Fairey has violated the copyright of several artists. He laughs about having been arrested over a dozen times for damaging property. Street art is trendy and cool, but it also cost tax payers over $15 billion per year. Some studies have show that street art nationwide has increased 35% in the last six months. So that is an increase in the cost to clean it up as well. And Obama supports that?
Not every artist supports Obama, look,
