Obama, speaking to ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "This Week," was talking about what he described as "smears" that were claiming he was a Muslim when he maintains he is a practicing Christian.
"Let's not play games," Obama stated. "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 immediately interrupted Obama, stating, "Christian faith."
"My Christian faith," Obama quickly said. "Well, what I'm saying is that he (McCain) hasn't suggested 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." ----- http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=74635
Limbaugh: Obama to Campaign in 57 Islamic States Were participating here in a tweak of the media. Obama said hes going to campaign in 57 states, and it turns out that there are 57 Islamic states. There are 57 Islamic states. Every year from 1999 to 2005, the organization of the Islamic conference representing the 57 Islamic states, this is from the International Humanist and Ethical Union. And the title of the piece here is, How the Islamic states dominate the UN human rights council, and there are 57 of them. So did Obama just lose his bearings, or was this a more telling slip, ladies and gentlemen? Obamas 57 states, not just a simple gaffe. He might have been thinking of the 57 Islamic states when he said he was going to campaign in all 57 states
