Stephanopoulos set it up so it would seem as though Obama made a mistake when saying "Muslim faith"

[goletian]

Why would have an interview with this dork?

obama: "john mccain has not talked about my muslim faith"
stephanopoulos: "christian faith!"

that wouldnt have made any sense... and stephanopoulos knew that. little fucker probably laughed to himself thinkin, "haha, gotcha." stupid little shit.

1. What happened to Steph? Didn't he used to work for Clinton?

[goletian]

2. hes probably one of those puma people.

3. Probably wasn't on purpose. If anyone mentions this to you, just say....

O meant it as my supposed Muslim faith and that you have to hear it in context. Or say it was sarcasm if you like.

9. Sarcasm is frequently misunderstood

It would be better to leave it out of public discourse. He's already had to backtrack on his "above my pay grade" remark, describing it as flippant. I hope in the future he doesn't say anything that can be twisted out of context or just misunderstood.

4. Who gives a shit. If folks listen to that and somehow don't understand what happened......

then they should vote for the Old man and his Fundamentalist Fundie Gimmick of a Veep.

5. obama didnt slip. it was clear what he was saying and steph throwing that in

made the issue, not what obama was saying. and obama even paused and corrected steph (not writing that huge ass name) in his way showing he knew what he was saying, just shut up and listen, quit interupting

[Barackattack]

6. Who cares.

So what? It was just a slip of the tonuge. It was clear what He meant anyhow. And even if He was a muslim, would that really make a difference? Don't let it become an issue and the repuglicants cant make it one.

7. steph is a right wing

tool. He sucks.

[Marsala]

8. Too much negativity here.

Stephanopoulos immediately corrected the slip of the tongue. That could be seen as helping Obama. He could have done worse, like letting it pass without correction or asking, "Your MUSLIM faith?!" and calling attention to it that way.
