#1 This is going to play reeeeealy well in "red state" areas - and with Moderates.

How long until Obamadhi™ (he's moved up from Obamessiah™) throw McPeak under the bus?

Once he does so, I want to be driving that bus so I can back it up and rock it back and forth to make sure the bus completely run over McPeak. He is the guy that ruined the USAF and his screwups are even today being felt.

First those jackasses in Chicago, now McPeak... Know Obama from the company he keeps.

Will America ever wake up?

#3 The McPeak remark about evangelicals is disgusting.

That said, Im not sure Im getting the uproar over Obama's statement. We ARE a nation of many different faiths (even if we are still a people the majority of whom are Christian if, that is, you include a bunch of folks that some fundamentalists dont think are 'christians')

#4 The only people offended by this will be typical white people clinging to their bibles and guns.

#5 The problem is, we're NOT a "Christian" nation. Christ has been replaced by every feel-good, "fundamentalist" claptrap that we can think of. The words of Christ are seldom heard in churches, or there'd be fewer problems in this country. The difference between that and what Obamass is spewing is that HE thinks we need to cut out all the laws, rules, and limits that MIGHT be based on Christian thought, so we could replace them with his schlock. The man has a great mind, but it's empty of anything of substance. What a waste of oxygen!

#6 We never were a Christian nation as the rest of the world understands national religions. What we always have been is a mostly God-fearing people, most of whom (currently somewhere in the 70-85% range, depending who is counting) consider themselves Christian of some sort. And most of us don't really care what other people believe -- or don't believe -- so long as everyone remains polite of word and deed... which is where the jihadis get in trouble.

Poor Candidate Obama doesn't realize that the Jews probably arrived with Columbus (we won't go into the discussions of whether Columbus himself was secretly Jewish himself), and most definitely arrived with the Dutch. George Washington himself wrote approvingly to one of the early Jewish congregations about their good citizenship. As for non-Abrahamic religions, there were significant numbers of Chinamen here around the time of the Civil War, and the Native Americans of course never left.

Mr. Obama is trying to triangulate with this statement, but only shows his lack of understanding, especially of the church he was a member of for most of his political life.

#7 Dang it, I was going to try to hold my price down on the M1A I was looking for on gunbroker.com. I read this story and thought that maybe I'd just better go ahead and pay the extra; I may truly need that gun sooner than I hoped.
