The answer is simple - Obama is a Christian in name only, just as he is a Muslim in name only. He is first and foremost a politician. He attended 'Reverend Wright's church to provide himself with 'street cred' in the African-American community. I suspect that he listened to few, if any, of Rev. Wright's sermons. He is certainly not the first politician to use Church affiliation to advance his campaign.

Politicians from both major parties have appealed to different religious groups for support by downright lying. Give Obama a pass on this one - far too many of our leaders have done exactly the same thing. If you want to condemn them, then condemn universally from the Republicans who are suddenly Evangelicals to the Democrats who are now followers of African American churches and appear regularly in their pulpits during campaign season.
