I wonder. Does anyone think the Media is an unbiased source of information? It seems there was a time when folks thought such things. Do they now? Compare/contrast this article to the treatment of Bush's statements of faith in 2000. I find it hard to believe anyone would uphold the objectivity of the Media after that. But then, I've been wrong before.

Wow. 'Fawning puff piece' barely describes this article. I think 'The NYT's Canonization of St. Barack Obama' would be more a appropiate title.

I honestly wonder, what would the NYT say if Mr. Obama was a devout pro-life Catholic, would they still be as nice to him because he's a Democrat, or would they treat him the same as Bush? (provided, of course, that a pro-life Democrat could be a potential presidential candidate)

Fine and dandy to be openly Christian when one's voting record and viewpoints match up with the editorial point of view.

But God forbid one should be openly Christian and vote differently (Rick Santorum, anyone?)

Then you are advancing theocracy, which is very, VERY dangerous.

Sigh.

One question! Does he Support A Women's Right To Choose? I think everyone should realize that this is THE moral issue of our time! If black women can't kill their offspring, think of the criminals we'd be getting in society! The horrors! If the answer to this question is "No", then he is just a Hating Christianist Who Hates Women And Uses His Hate To... uh... Hate Choosing! If, however, his answer is "YES", then he is truly an enlightened individual who does not hold to a Dark Age Ideal that all humans should be allowed to live... hah! Those barbarians believed anything they were told, by golly!

Not sure if that's how you Americans do politics, but that's more or less how Canadians do it. We're enlightened.

But that's great because he's Black and a Democrat.

Not so much as the fact that:

When Mr. Obama, a former constitutional law professor, does speak of faith, he tends to add a footnote about keeping church and state separate.

Granny Obama wants to abort your infidel babies and I'm going to make sure it happens!

All right, somebody photoshop that poster. Hopefully granny is wearing a headscarf to boot.

Good comments, Todd. I believe it is at the Black Genocide website (not sure) where I say the fact that more Blacks are killed by abortion than died from lynching and the slave trade, and that Planned Parenthood blankets black neighborhoods with abortion clinics when we should be giving them job opportunities....
