Barack Obama
Sept. 7, 2008
"What I was suggesting you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith..." Obama on ABC's This Week.
Two months before the election, Obama discussed with George Stephanopoulos the false rumors that he is a Muslim and addressed the fact that John McCain had denied spreading the rumors. Obama is (and was) a Christian. Stephanopoulos jumped in to correct him, and the candidate quickly clarified.
