This whole post smacks of racisim. Why not wait another day, before we denounce the entire race because of one black racist.

Good point fullrob. Would like to get some re-action from Barack Obama about this stuff even though he might be better off just leaving this alone.
My point is that Senator Barack Obama is a man of very strong convictions and that his church probably is not going to sway him all that much in any direction. John F. Kennedy seemed to say the same about the Catholic Church and that Church has a lot of tenets that many Americans would not want stuck into their private lives. Same with Senator John McCain. His church would not seem to have that much influence on him.
"I believe the American people are more concerned with a man's views and abilities than with the church to which he belongs. I believe the founding fathers meant it when they provided in Article VI of the Constitution that there should be no religious test for public office. And I believe that the American people mean to adhere to those principles today." John Fitzgerald Kennedy
