If I wanted more spin...

I would be a republican or theopublican.
That being said there is a question here that bears asking, is there a perfect human? According to Judeo,Christian,Islamic tradition the answer is that all men and women are born into sin. The point would be that we love our friends inspite of themselves just as we are loved by others inspite of ourselves, becuase all humans have failings. One would expect that when comes to something as important as governing our country we would demand adult reasoning. Now I do not know about the rest of America but I have a number of folks I call friend who do not agree with me and I do not agree with them. That does not mean I like them less it merely means we are going bump heads on occasion or learn to let certain things pass or merely not bring them up. This is known as mature behavior. Do what is Mr. Obama to do about Rev. Wright? If Mr Obama is of good and sound character then last thing he will or can do is negate his relationship with Rev. Wright. Yes that stance will never appease those hawkish folks out there who still see America with a "manifest destiny" and a "god given" mandate to spread democracy and american protestantism. The question is whether or not 32% of the US population is going to dictate our postition in the world. The current answer seems to be yes it is. Thus the real point Obama has is that his religious association will never dictate domestic or foreign policy.
JFK had to make the same comment concerning his Catholicism and relationship with Rome and its Pontif. Of course back in that day and age we still believed the measure of man was in what he did not in what he professed to believe.

But again it is the absurd and its contradictory life that teaches us. For the mistake is thinking that quantity of experience depends on circumstances of our life when it depends soley on us.
