Obama’s verbal slip fuels his critics
Monday, September 8th, 2008Obama to a slip of the tongue about his faith that some are already taking out of context and using against him in emails and blogs.
“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.”
Mr. Stephanopoulos interrupted with, “Christian faith.”
“My Christian faith,” Mr. Obama said quickly.
This was an obvious verbal miscue. I think it’s wrong and unproductive to continue to suggest that Obama is Muslim. Yes, he has a Muslim history. His father was Muslim and Obama spent some time in a Muslim school. But, he has been attending a Christian church for 20 years. Now, it is a strange form of Christianity that he has been a hearing to. Black liberation theology teaches God is black and the enemy is white. Obama has still not answered any questions about he believes in Black liberation theology.
However, there are plenty of reasons beyond religion not to vote for Obama and I think we should concentrate on those. His socialist leanings on tax policy, spending policy, healthcare policy, Social Security policy, etc. those of the things we should be focusing on.
