Quote:What do you think?
I know we're talking about politics, but I'm trying to reign in the cynicism. I think it is a bit harsh to characterize this as "Obama quits church in a desperate bid to disassociate himself from controversy". He did meet with the church leaders, and I'm sure they wanted this also.
If you were a church leader, do you really want the whole church to know that every word said is going to be examined by the media and used however possible to damage the Obama campaign? Preachers having to watch every word they say with the same kind of care as politicians (leading to empty speeches such as we hear from politicians)?
