That's not enough video to be certain of what the context was. Context is king.

I fully expect him to come out as muslim someday, but to be honest we need more video than that.

Here is a transcript,


Right from the horses mouth



STEPHANOPOULOS: You mention your Christian faith. Yesterday you took off after the Republicans for suggesting you have Muslim connections.

Just a few minutes ago, Rick Davis, John McCain's campaign manager, said they've never done that. This is a false and cynical attempt to play victim.

OBAMA: You know what? I mean, these guys love to throw a rock and hide their hand. The...

STEPHANOPOULOS: The McCain campaign has never suggested you have Muslim connections.

OBAMA: No, no, no. But the -- I don't think that when you look at what is being promulgated on Fox News, let's say, and Republican commentators who are closely allied to these folks...

STEPHANOPOULOS: But John McCain said that's wrong.

OBAMA: Now, well, look. Listen. You and I both know that the minute that Governor Palin was forced to talk about her daughter, I immediately said that's off limits. And...

STEPHANOPOULOS: But John McCain said the same thing about questioning your faith.

OBAMA: And what was the first thing the McCain's campaign went out and did? They said, look, these liberal blogs that support Obama are out there attacking Governor Palin.

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...
STEPHANOPOULOS: Christian faith.

OBAMA: ... my Christian faith. Well, what I'm saying is that he hasn't suggested...

STEPHANOPOULOS: Has connections, right.

OBAMA: ... that I'm a Muslim. And I think that his campaign's upper echelons have not, either.

What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I'm not who I say I am when it comes to my faith -- something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time.

I think it was just a gaffe. However him speaking of his faith cannot be mentioned without highlighting his 20 years in the church of Rev. Wright.

Even if he's a closet Muslim, I don't think he said that in reference to being a Muslim. I think he was just trying to say that McCain has not tried to accuse him of being one and it was a tongue tied slip.

Actually he is accusing the McCain camp of putting doubts in people's mind about him being a Muslim.

George keeps saying that the McCain camp has condemned these kinds of attacks and Obama is saying, well yes they're condemning them-and encouraging them at the same time.


Obama needs to just come out and admit he was a Muslim, even if he isn't now. Why is he ashamed/embarrassed of that fact??????

I question the woman's experience to be CHOSEN by McCain to fill the #2 spot on his ticket. I would think that Kay Bailey Hutchison or Oly Snowe would be MUCH more formidable running mates... the fact that I am stunned by not only the inexperience of Palin, but also by the complete adoration of her by the republican masses is not sexist.... it is based solely upon my belief that McCain was not being truthful when he said that the number one criteria for his VP pick was the ability to effectively assume the duties of Commander in Chief.

Her daughter's pregnancy has nothing to do with the type of education she received. It has to do with a choice she made (which is a huge platform plank for the Dems - in case you've forgotten). She made a choice to have sex.

Obviously the open sex education that has been employed in our society is not working either. I would propose that there are many more unplanned pregnancies on the liberal side of the fence. And, no matter how many hours of sex education one has, using condoms and birth control are not as effective as abstinence.

Linking Sarah's daughter's pregnancy with her ability to be VP is assinine. That would be like linking Barak's father's alcoholism and tendency to have multiple wives and DUI's with his abilities. It is a non-issue. Let it go.

she made an "educated choice". She made a choice to have unprotected sex even though she was "educated" by her mother that abstinence was the only appropriate alternative. For me to suggest that the quality of a mother's leadership skills are displayed in the choices made by her adolescent children is quite reasonable. For you to suggest that the actions of an absentee father are somehow the responsibility of his young son is pathetic.

Thank you preacher man. You and your side for the continuinr attack a mother and her infant child. Thank you, and your liberal budddies for calling her a hick, a back woods hillbilly, a religious fanatic, calling her white trash,for trying to tell the voters she faked her last pregnancy

I'm not so sure I agree with this one Stephanie. The two worst offenders of liberal trash threads against Gov. Palin are psychoblues and Joe Steel. For a while I was following their threads. I can't remember MFM participating in any of those threads. I may be wrong on that, but I think he has pretty much ignored that garbage.

Kay Bailey Hutchinson might have made a good choice, but Olympia Snowe would never have arrived at a position of actually being able to take over the Oval Office should the need have arrived. That is a key point. You have to be able to get to the opportunity first.

Olympia Snowne is pro-choice. John McCain is battling a conservative movement that doesn't like him. Had he chosen Olympia Snowe, his campaign would have been dead and Bob Barr might actually have beaten him.

That would be the end of his campaign. America is not ready for a Muslim President especially since we are at war with extreme Muslims. Even if he were a black Muslim member of "The Nation of Islam" which I find to be a completely different breed of Muslim than the Muslims of the ME.

The same kind of thing went on when Kennedy ran for President. His faith was used against him. I have heard rumblings about Biden's faith as well.

Now, I'm not endorsing Obama, but if he came out and said that he was a Muslim the election would be over and if he truly thinks he is the right man for the job, if he truly loves this country, why would he want to end his chances so abruptly?

Second, I am not convinced that he never was a Muslim. He may be a member of the same denomination you are a member of now. That does not mean he was not brought up as a Muslim. Nor, does it absolutely mean he is not Muslim today.

And now that I think about what I said last post, I'd have to say everything that comes out of Obama's mouth is at best suspect. He is after all a politician which is slightly above.... hell, nothing in my book! But, they are not too far below political journalist of all ilk.

How do you know it is not a church where a closet Muslim with political aspirations goes to worship? Got that crystal ball out again? Or are you God? Your opinion of your knowledge is waaay too high.

I still think it was a gaffe. The canidates are asked a million questions a week and speak often, they are bound to goof up from time to time. So it was just a gaffe. But still what this gaffe does is highlight Obama's faith and there are still some lingering question about his association with Rev Wright for 20 years. Obama had the right to attend and be associated with Rev Wright, but the timing of his withdrawl from the church is quite interesting and seems a political move.

I believe Obama when he speaks (at length) on the subject of his faith. Have you taken the time to watch his 45 minute address to the sojourner's convention on the subject of church and state? I have. The man who gave that speech was not a muslim.

Palin sought out a federal grant to teach abstinence only sex ed in school.... as you suggesting that...gasp... she is a hypocrite?

Goodness seeking out a federal grant....that evil woman. Seeking a grant to teach abstinence in the school doesn't mean she, or anyone else for that matter, can't teach birth control in her own home.

Birth control isn't the place of schools anyway. Kids need to learn how pregnancy happens, anything beyond that is the parents job.

Seems Bambam says one thing and means another. Is he a Muslim?????? According to him, yes........or no, depending on the day.

I believe he slipped up and let it out. If he is a Muslim he needs to be upfront about it, instead of waiting until after the election.

then don't bother worshipping in my church. I am not ordained and I refuse to "pretty up" my language on here just because I have been called to the pulpit to help my church.

My parishioners love me.... and they just affirmed that at a big cookout yesterday.


Your opinion of me? I really could give a shit. honestly.

Just pointing out that as a supposed community leader, you're scoring in the ranks of Obama's mentor.

Peace, Love, Forgiveness. That's your road that you chose, so start living it or quit your job.

If you want to spread lies to the people, join Obama's crusade and sleep well at night.

Pretending to be a man of Christ will earn you a special place in hell.

I think my folks did a fine job. I never got in trouble as a kid. I never fathered a child out of wedlock. I was accepted by and graduated from a service academy and I served a long and fruitful career in uniform. I think I made my folks proud of me.

I am quite tolerant. I have never claimed to know it all. I am sorry if you feel I am arrogant. Elitist? I don't think so. I don't know what I have bragged about. My kids... my wife, maybe.

I understand that you don't like me very much. There is little to nothing that I can do about that other than keep trying to be a better person. I don't like you very much either, but I would imagine that could change using the same process.
