Reply #44: the "Amen" thing

[Celebration]

What people here need to realize is that he was virtually forced into wearing his religion on his sleeve. There have been repeated attempts to depict him as a Muslim by the right wingers. He can't exactly go around saying "I'm not a Muslim" because that would make it look like he thought there was something wrong with being a Muslim. But, in fact, a Muslim could never win an election. So, what he is left with is just one choice--throw out a couple of Amens to let everyone know he is a Christian.

I am not sure why people here don't see that he was painted into a box with this. Sure he could have ignored the issue-- but we have learned that people who ignore attacks really, really get creamed at the polls.

These two candidates are just not the same, not with war issues, and not with economic issues, eg

Clinton voted for the new bankruptcy bill.
Obama voted against it.

It's a rather long list. Not to mention that Obama has not attended a Bilderberg meeting,.
