The Ironic Obama Video That Will Not Go Away
To me this is nothing but it may get some traction so I'm bringing it out now so that we can be prepared. I contemplated doing so for about an hour. This video will probably be all over the Internet and Fox News within 24 hours and, of course, it will be grossly exaggerated and taken out of context.
This morning on ABC's This Week, Obama had a most unfortunate slip of the tongue. Watch it.
All Obama said in the interview is that John McCain hasn't called him a Muslim, unlike many of the YouTube video's commenters. It's actually kinda funny when you think about it. You can even tell that Obama got a kick out of it. George Snuffalufagus corrected him because he knew what he meant. Had it been a true Freudian slip, as many will say it is, Snuffalufagus would have pressed it.
So, it's out, will it matter? Or will people see it for what it really is?

Thanks. I couldn't find the entire clip. It's the 17 second clip that is being passed around everywhere. I'm expecting to get it in an email from one of my racist relatives any day now.
