Make no mistake: Evangelicals are not fooled by Obama. We see his record, the fact that he sat under the teaching of a heretical (and racist) preacher for 20 years, and we see where his priorities lie.
Obama can continue to waste his time on this effort. It only helps McCain.
This column, and a lot of the letters, are the funniest case of sour grapes I've ever seen, a sure sign that you, too, see the Obama got trounced at this event.
Obama took 200 words (200!) to answer a simple question about abortion, and then he really never answered it.
Obama showed himself to be what he truly is: an empty suit, a pretender, an arrogant, wet-behind-the-ears, just-the same-old, same-old politician whose selfish ambition knows no bounds.
For him to even dare to compare himself to John McCain is laughable.
Sour grapes, Joan, sour grapes!
The McCains bought their houses legitimately from money made by a profitable business. Since when is running a profitable business and enjoying the fruits thereof a problem?
Now compare:
Obama "bought" his home with the help of a Chicago fixer who got political favors as a result--before he was convicted of fraud, that is.
Where is the scandal here?
I'm not so fond of some of the stuff King Richie II has pulled here, but you can't deny that the streets are cleaner, he's fixing the CTA (about time), and has gone on a beautification rampage that has undoubtedly made the place nicer.
Yeah, and Hitler built the autobahn and Mussolini made the trains run on time.
And sorry, but all the questions about Obama's "purchase" of a house he couldn't afford with the help of a convicted felon have not been answered.

Rove/McCain benefit from selling their schlock to a base that's gullible and unsophisticated to believe it ... Obama, on the other hand, has a base that won't get behind such facile and illogical two-steps, because they know it doesn't make sense.
Would this be the same base that swooned when Obama said, "We're the one's we've been waiting for"? If any statement makes no sense, it's that one, yet women fainted at the mere mention of it.
Oh please, don't make me laugh so hard.
It's nonsense, plain and simple. A meaningless phrase that sounds profound to those who have turned off their critical faculties.
Sorry, but the Trib article is next to useless, since it's simply Obama defending himself and the Trib not doing any real investigating.
So, please, why did Rezko feel the need to help Obama with his purchase if Obama was able to buy the house with his book earnings?
Why did Rezko feel the need to buy the adjoining lot that had originally been part of the original lot? And how did it get subdivided conveniently just in time to help this transaction?
Why did Obama funnel so much aid to Rezko after the purchase of his house?
If you believe all those interactions between Obama and Rezko were just coincidences, then I coincidentally own a bridge that I'd love to sell to you.
Dobson, like most of his fellow prominent religious right pundits is a phoney-baloney bottom-dweller who wouldn't think twice about selling his soul and his grandmother if it made him more money.
Your bigotry is showing. Dobson has never taken a salary the entire 30-plus years Focus on the Family has been in operation, and all the royalties from his books sold through the organization are returned to Focus on the Family.
He also gave up a lucrative medical practice in Southern California in 1977 to found Focus on the Family.
Next time, check your bigotry at the door and check your facts.
Oh, wait ... this is Salon. Never mind.
You are so bigoted and so ignorant it's dangerous.
If what you said were true, we'd just have to look at the dress code for employees of Focus on the Family of of his wife.
Nope, no hijabs in sight. Professional business dress, skirts, blouses, pantsuits ... just like you'd find at any other large organization.
Do you try really hard to be this ignorant and bigoted, or is it just a gift?
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"

Once seen as a lunatic fringe, reactionary anti-women groups are courting respectability
