    Obama's prupose driven gamble

    I expected Obama to shine at Rick Warren's church. After all, Warren is probably one of the best religious con-men around, applying marketing and sales techniques to religion and embracing liberal political issues.

    It was perfect for Obama, the dicciple of Alinsky, who "preached" joining the socialist agenda to liberal religous churches in order to "Change" society. Using "faioth based organizations" for political and governmental purposes is a hallmark of Obama's "community" organizing experience. Reverend Wright's church is the "perfect" example.

    That's the kind of expose of Obama the McCain campaign should be going after. This was the perfect forum to do so, but of course not the kind of thing Rick Warren, surely an Obama supporter, wanted to hear.

    Dick Morris is right, August, not September and October, is the time to undo Obama's carefully crafted facade. And therefore beat him.
