Default Obama slip up or no?

I could NEVER imagine myself ever having a slip of the tongue regarding my faith like this.

He's had plenty of slips. So has Biden, but they won't get the play by the media due to bias.

Question Re: Obama slip up or no?

Maybe you should have posted the whole interview and not 13 seconds that take the conversation way out of context.



Loon, go watch Fox news if you want to see some biased reporters.

That's my biggest grip with this damn election! What happen to the days of non-bias reporting? Our media has enormous power. Certainly the ability to sway elections, yet they continually take sides...and yes, the majority of today's reporting is "PRO Democrat". On the other side of the fence is Fox News...clearly "PRO Republican". These news agency's need to keep their damn opinions to them selves.

If that's not bad enough, we've got organizations like "ACORN" (Supported by Obama) suspected of fraud. This is a big fucking deal, yet I have yet to see it in our main stream media...what's up with that?

ACORN Office in Vegas Raided in Voter-Fraud Probe

Quote:
Nevada authorities seized records Tuesday from a group they accused of submitting fraudulent voter-registration forms — including for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys.

"Tony Romo is not registered to vote in the state of Nevada, and anybody trying to pose as Terrell Owens won't be able to cast a ballot on Nov. 4," said Secretary of State Ross Miller, referring to star players on the pro football team.

State authorities raided the headquarters of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group that works to register low-income people.

Miller said the raid was part of a monthslong investigation, and he contended the group had submitted registration forms that used false information or duplicated information on multiple forms. He did not estimate how many.

Bertha Lewis, interim chief organizer for ACORN, said the group has been working with election officials to weed out fraudulent forms from those submitted by the canvassers it hires.

"Today's raid by the secretary of state's office is a stunt that serves no useful purpose other than to discredit our work registering Nevadans," Lewis said.

"For the past 10 months, anytime ACORN has identified a potentially fraudulent application, we turn that application in to election officials separately and offer to provide election officials with the information they would need to pursue an investigation or prosecution of the individual," Lewis said.

She said ACORN had turned in 46 problem applications submitted by 33 former employees to election officials in the Las Vegas area, where it has registered 80,000 people.

According to its national Web site, the group has registered 1.3 million people nationwide for the Nov. 4 election. It has encountered complaints of fraud stemming from registration efforts in Wisconsin, North Carolina, New Mexico, Michigan, Ohio and Missouri.

"The fact is, this is hard work and there were some people that probably sat down on a couch and filled out names out of a phone book," said Matthew Henderson, Southwest regional director for ACORN. "That's really what we're talking about here — not an attempt to steal an election."

George Stephanopoulos is a perfect example. He was Bill Clinton's communications director...clearly PRO Democrat!

The reason I didn't post the whole interview is, I hadn't seen it. Irregardless of what Obama declares his faith being, I have issues with his Chicago Mega Church. The one his Reverend Jeremiah Wright preached hatrid and racism from the pulpit. That man baptized Obama's children. He was a guest in Obama's home. He married Obama & his wife. On the day Barack Obama announced his candidacy for president, Wright was set to give the invocation. At the last moment, Obama's handlers pulled Wright from the program.
If you can look passed his "Muslim faith", and look into who he's been guided spiritually all his adult life, you have to be concerned about how he sees the white community. Maybe even the Jewish community.
