Reply #131: To literally answer your question

[Tom Rinaldo]

Voters in their own minds can hold anyone they want accountable for anything they want, that's the first thing. But to answer you more directly, some voters could hold Obama accountable for being a loyal member of long duration in a church that welcomes guest sermons by someone like this Priest. That is the problematic link if there is one. Obama has no control over what any given man of the cloth might say, but he does have a direct say in what congregation he belongs to. Some may say that Obama voted with his feet by chosing to keep walking into a church that calls a priest like this their friend and which greets a sermon like his with enthusiastic applause.
