I'm sure it was inadvertent and not what he meant to convey, but what he appears to be saying is that when he talks to himself, he's talking to God. Some here may see this as an indication that he's enlightened--"I and my Father are one," "Tat tvam asi"--but it's likely to freak out the fundies. (And I wonder how some here who have mocked George Bush for claiming that God speaks to him are going to respond to learning that Obama says the same thing...)
