Crooks and Liars: Emphasizing faith-based appeals

Anonymous Edit
The Wall Street Journal had an item the other day on the Obama campaign rolling out a “new nationwide faith effort” that will, among other things, make it clear that the Democratic candidate is a Christian.

Liberal evangelicals — such as some members of mainline Protestant churches — have been vocal during this election season, reminding voters that some evangelicals favor abortion rights and gay marriage and oppose the Iraq war, and also vote Democratic. “The Obama campaign is preparing a robust effort to reach out to people of all faiths, all religious backgrounds...

You are absolutely right in your reporting that months ago, the media and Obama told Clinton that this race was over and yet today the American people are backing her as future President by the millions!  What is wrong with this picture?  Let me tell you, so there can be no mistake as you read these words.  The media and the Obama campaign have been wrong from the very beginning and have underestimated the American public. We, the American people want the very BEST candidate for the job of President of these United States.  We, the American people do not care how much money one candidate over the other has for their campaign.  We, the American people do not care what skin color they have.  What we do care about is how that candidate is going to put our nation back on track.  The economy, bringing our sons and daughters home from a war that should have not happened in the first place.  Health care, national security, terrorism, jobs so we can make a decent living for our families.  These are just some of the issues weighing heavy on the minds of Americans.  We need someone with the experience, dedication, perseverance, and the ability to fight for America, not only on a national arena but in a global arena.  Bottom line, that someone is future Madam President, Hillary Clinton.
