2 in a row!

I just gotta post about today's race at DOVER... my hubby and I are huge Biffle fans and he won a great race today! 2 in a row! We had friends over to watch the race... (I think they may be the ONLY friends that we have that like to watch NASCAR) We ate pizza and enjoyed a great race today. There was a little Kasey Kahne bashing.... he is just so little.. but K you took it well! We all love Carl Edwards too and he came in 3rd! A 1,2,3 finish for Rousch Racing! Not like any of you care... you may say "what is so fun about watching cars go around in a circle?".. I said that at one point too, but here I am a huge Nascar fan and can't wait to settle in for an afternoon of racing. Well I just had to share.. if you have DirecTV and want to watch a great show about NASCAR... tune in on Monday nights for a show called "This Week In Nascar" (aka TWIN) it is on at 9pm on the speed channel (607).

Playing catch up

I will post my zucchini bread recipe... it is so YUMMY! I should be able to do it from memory I have made it so many times. I even like to put some icing on it too.. that makes it into a dessert (kinda). I just laid Miss D down upstairs on my friend Jodi's bed.. Jodi is out with her hubby doing some stuff. I am watching her 2 little girls. Among naps, swinging and food...with a little painting we are having a good time. They have dsl over here and I'm in Internet heaven. I am watching the girls I promise.. thankfully the computer is right here in the nook and I can keep eyes in all directions.. plus not miss phone calls from Jodi when she calls to check in. The 1 year old is crawling and climbing and the 3 year old is outside playing on the swing set... while Miss D is upstairs taking her nap. I'm so glad that Miss D is comfortable enough to go to sleep here... if not it would make the day much more of a trial. She was fighting a stuffy nose yesterday. But she pushed through with prayer and is feeling MUCH better today. We are watching Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm... IN COLOR! We have this movie at home but in b&w. Is anyone out there looking forward to The Office premiere next week as much as I am... not counting you Mrs. Noodles. Last night was the season finale from last year. We enjoyed some good laughs last night watching that show. If you aren't a fan... check out the show. Maybe rent the 1st seasons so that you can get caught up and understand what is happening with Pam and Jim and so on... Great Show I must say GREAT SHOW. I'm also wondering when Lost is going to start. Last year it didn't start till way late. That is another great show.. but hard to follow if you just start watching now... catch up with the last few seasons. BSF also started and we are onl lesson 2 of the life of Moses. So far it is really interesting. I also started up from last year a study that I'm in with 3 ladies and 1 new one. We are reading the book by Bill Johnson...Supernatural Power of a Transformed Mind. We are through the chapter one and we only disscussed two pages from it yesterday for 2 hours! So far it is great and challenging! Hmmmmm.... what else to talk about? Better go play with the little tots...

Slip of the Tongue or Slip of the Truth?!?!

I watched the whole clip to see if this was taken out of context.. and I have to say that it is a grey area. It is hard to tell if he was talking about "His Muslim faith"...or if he was talking about John Mcain's camp talking about possible Muslim ties to his "Christian" faith. He is alot like Hilary in being hard to read in his real emotion and facial expressions... I guess it is up to the individual on if he slipped and told the actual truth or not.


ELECTION 2008 Obama slips on TV: 'My Muslim faith'Presidential candidate drops line in interview discussing his belief

Slip of the tongue or momentary confusion? In a television interview today discussing his religion, Sen. Barack Obama stated, "My Muslim faith." Obama, speaking to ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "This Week," was talking about what he described as "smears" that were claiming he was a Muslim when he maintains he is a practicing Christian. "Let's not play games," Obama stated. "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." Stephanopoulos immediately interrupted Obama, stating, "Christian faith." "My Christian faith," Obama quickly said. "Well, what I'm saying is that he (McCain) hasn't suggested that I'm a Muslim. And I think that his campaign's upper echelons have not, either. What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I'm not who I say I am when it comes to my faith – something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time."
The statements came amid an exchange in which Obama accused Republicans of spreading "lies" that he is a Muslim. McCain, though, has strongly condemned such accusations. "These guys love to throw a rock and hide their hand," Obama said.But Stephanopoulos corrected the Illinois senator, stating, "The McCain campaign has never suggested you have Muslim connections."Obama replied: "I don't think that when you look at what is being promulgated on Fox News, let's say, and Republican commentators who are closely allied to these folks.""But John McCain said that's wrong," Stephanopoulos shot back.Obama's momentary slip was immediately picked up by scores of Internet blogs.Obama 'quite religious in Islam'Obama has long denied he was ever a Muslim. His campaign site states: "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian."
But as WND reported, public records in Indonesia listed Obama as a Muslim during his early years, and a number of childhood friends claimed to the media Obama was once a mosque-attending Muslim.Obama's campaign several times has wavered in response to reporters queries regarding the senator's childhood faith.Commenting on a recent Los Angeles Times report quoting a childhood friend stating Obama prayed in a mosque – something the presidential candidate said he never did – Obama's campaign released a statement explaining the senator "has never been a practicing Muslim."Widely distributed reports have noted that in January 1968, Obama was registered as a Muslim at Jakarta's Roman Catholic Franciscus Assisi Primary School under the name Barry Soetoro. He was listed as an Indonesian citizen whose stepfather, listed on school documents as "L Soetoro Ma," worked for the topography department of the Indonesian Army.Catholic schools in Indonesia routinely accept non-Catholic students but exempt them from studying religion. Obama's school documents, though, wrongly list him as being Indonesian.After attending the Assisi Primary School, Obama was enrolled – also as a Muslim, according to documents – in the Besuki Primary School, a public school in Jakarta.The Loatze blog, run by an American expatriate in Southeast Asia who visited the Besuki school, noted: "All Indonesian students are required to study religion at school, and a young 'Barry Soetoro,' being a Muslim, would have been required to study Islam daily in school. He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to recite his prayers properly, to read and recite from the Quran and to study the laws of Islam."Indeed, in Obama's autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," he acknowledged studying the Quran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school.""In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Quranic studies," wrote Obama.The Indonesian media have been flooded with accounts of Obama's childhood Islamic studies, some describing him as a religious Muslim.Speaking to the country's Kaltim Post, Tine Hahiyary, who was principal of Obama's school while he was enrolled there, said she recalls he studied the Quran in Arabic."At that time, I was not Barry's teacher, but he is still in my memory" claimed Tine, who is 80 years old.The Kaltim Post said Obama's teacher, named Hendri, died."I remember that he studied 'mengaji (recitation of the Quran)," Tine said, according to an English translation by Loatze.Mengaji, or the act of reading the Quran with its correct Arabic punctuation, is usually taught to more religious pupils and is not known as a secular study.Also, Loatze documented the Indonesian daily Banjarmasin Post interviewed Rony Amir, an Obama classmate and Muslim, who described Obama as "previously quite religious in Islam.""We previously often asked him to the prayer room close to the house. If he was wearing a sarong (waist fabric worn for religious or casual occasions) he looked funny," Amir said.The Los Angeles Times, which sent a reporter to Jakarta, quoted Zulfin Adi, who identified himself as among Obama's closest childhood friends, stating the presidential candidate prayed in a mosque, something Obama's campaign claimed he never did."We prayed, but not really seriously, just following actions done by older people in the mosque. But as kids, we loved to meet our friends and went to the mosque together and played," said Adi.Friday prayersAside from a new website to fight purported smears, Obama's official campaign site has a page titled "Obama has never been a Muslim, and is a committed Christian." The page states, "Obama never prayed in a mosque. He has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ."But the campaign changed its tune when it issued a "practicing Muslim" clarification to the Los Angeles Times.An article in March by the Chicago Tribune apparently disputes Adi's statements to the L.A. paper. The Tribune caught up with Obama's declared childhood friend, who now describes himself as only knowing Obama for a few months in 1970 when his family moved to the neighborhood. Adi said he was unsure about his recollections of Obama.But the Tribune found Obama did attend mosque."Interviews with dozens of former classmates, teachers, neighbors and friends show that Obama was not a regular practicing Muslim when he was in Indonesia," states the Tribune article.It quotes the presidential candidate's former neighbors and third-grade teacher recalling Obama "occasionally followed his stepfather to the mosque for Friday prayers."Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum, notes the Tribune article – cited by liberal blogs as refuting claims Obama is Muslim – actually implies Obama was an irregularly practicing Muslim and twice confirms Obama attended mosque services.In a free-ranging interview with the New York Times, Obama described the Muslim call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."The Times' Nicholos Kristof wrote Obama recited, "with a first-class [Arabic] accent," the opening lines of the Muslim call to prayer.The first few lines of the call to prayer state:Allah is Supreme!Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! I witness that there is no god but AllahI witness that there is no god but AllahI witness that Muhammad is his prophet ...Some attention also has been paid to Obama's paternal side of the family, including his father and his brother, Roy.Writing in a chapter of his book describing his 1992 wedding, the presidential candidate stated: "The person who made me proudest of all was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol."Still, Obama says he was raised by his Christian mother and repeatedly has labeled as "smears" several reports attempting to paint him as a Muslim."Let's make clear what the facts are: I am a Christian. I have been sworn in with a Bible. I pledge allegiance [to the American flag] and lead the Pledge of Allegiance sometimes in the United States Senate when I'm presiding," he told the Times of London earlier this year.
