Verbal Crisis for the "Presumptive Teleprompter President"??
Can someone out in the bloggersphere answer this question, do teleprompters come in small sizes??
For the Obama Campaign, this knowledge could help in preventing future verbal slips of the tongue, as witness with Obama's appearance on ABC News "This Week" Program.
ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Sen. Barack Obama's foes seized Sunday upon a brief slip of the tongue, when the Democratic presidential nominee was outlining his Christianity but accidentally said, "my Muslim faith."
The three words -- immediately corrected -- were during an exchange with ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "This Week," when he was trying to criticize the quiet smear campaign suggesting he is a Muslim.
But illustrating the difficulty of preventing false rumors about his faith from spreading, anti-Obama groups within one hour of the interview had sliced it out of context and were sending it around via email. They also were blogging about it.
One could compare this verbal slip to a certain ex. Vice-President who will always be remember for "Potatoes". But then when the "MSM" is in the tank for you, then it is more important to go "Clarence Thomas" on a woman who is garnering the support of a growing number of voters as a new ABC Poll shows today.
Make you wonder if we are witnessing "Backlash 2008", when the MSM became irrelevant to the majority in America??

If he were a Muslim, I doubt that his faith would allow him to attend Christian church services.
Also, all candidates use telepromters when making a speech, but not when being interviewed.
All interesting article in the Times spoke about how McCain used to speak without the aid of note cards. Now he uses them even in informal Q&A sessions with reporters.
Some maverick!

Nu-cu-lar...now that'sworth reporting! "Potatoe" likewise.
"My Muslim faith". That's unfair.
George Stephanopoulis corrected it for Obama and we shouldn't mention it again.

www.TeleprompterPresident.com - Obama shows us what happens when he doesn't have a teleprompter to read from and has to think for himself.
