This has been a tough week for the senator from Illinois. First, Obama gets a slight bounce in the polls after the democrat convention, which many thought would be double digit. Second, hurricane Sarah hit Minneapolis and lead the republicans to a hugely successful convention which has team McCain/Palin, as of 9/8, with a decent lead in most national polls. Finally third, and perhaps the most embarassing thing to happen to Barack Obama this week, comes from the senator's own mouth. It appears Obama got a little off message on Sunday when he mistakenly said "...my Muslim faith...." instead of Christian faith, in an interview with George Stephanopolous. Obama didn't catch it as he said it, but Stephanopolous did and quickly corrected the senator. You can see the disgusted look on his face as he realizes what just slipped out of his mouth. Here is the video:
Now, I am not saying Obama is a Muslim like some on the internet. I feel this was an honest mistake and its exactly why I look forward to the debates. Obama is a bullsh_t salesman with a mouthful of samples, and sometimes he gets so caught up in the moment he isn't aware of what he said. But even so, this clip is kind of funny if only to see him squirm. Enjoy!
