(31,706 posts)Thank you for noticing...and I do not use the term Bishop as a slam but as a reference to his standing within his church. Jesse Jackson has long been refered to by his title and I see this as a respectful term. Now if he's been promoted...then maybe I should use that title instead.
The religious angle is one he's played fast and loose with. As we know, his being a member of the LDS church is a big negative among many rushpublican voters and it'll be interesting on election day if their racism and hatred of the "colored fella" will be superceded by their distrust of a guy who wears magic underwear. I think we're already seeing a big disconnect between what people are telling pollsters and what they'll do when it comes to voting (a reason I think the gender gap will be bigger on election day than its showing right now).
It is important to also note the hypocrisy of Willard's positions and those of his church and others and how many faiths have been coopted by political opportunists.
I don't think President Obama should or needs to use this title, but I would like to see some of the pundits (Reverend Al) use it on the teevee...
Thank you for the shout out and cheers!
