Obama campaign adviser says Santorum crossed line
AP via SFGate ^ | 2/19/12

An adviser to President Barack Obama's re-election campaign says GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum went "well over the line" when he questioned Obama's Christian values.

Robert Gibbs tells ABC's "This Week" that it's time "to get rid of this mindset in our politics that, if we disagree, we have to question character and faith."

What Christian values? I haven’t seen any demonstrated by Obama.

Obama's administration basically says, in ordering Catholic organizations to pay for contraception (a classification that I believe includes RU-486, which takes the order well beyond contraception), that the policies of government must take precedence over the laws of God and the teachings of Christ.

But the left is going to whine that Obama's faith cannot be questioned. Where have I heard that song before?

Actually Rick Santorum barely got up to the line. We are dealing with a Manchurian Candidate who has no history, no BC,no nuttin’no life in college anyone can find, a slew of SS numbers all of them false,and is not forthcoming with anything. Yet, we never see him held accountable ever! So what line did Santorum cross? He never even got up to the line!!!

At some point during the 2008 campaign, Obama quoted from what he thought was the Bible. I can’t remember now what the quote was, but it was something like “Cleanliness is next to Godliness,” or “God helps those who help themsevles” (although that doesn’t sound much like the 2012 Obama), some old saw that someone unfamiliar with Old & New Testaments would automatically source as the Bible. Anyone out there remember?

They’re not pansies.

This is the Chicago political mob.

The folks who intimidated the Clintons from using their vaunted private detective operation to reveal Baraq’s actual history.

“We want MORE Rick MORE!”

I understand Rick is already “walking back” those statements deemed offensive to the Rev. Wright theology student, Hussein.

Obama could help relieve suspiscions if he would open his past. Or maybe he wouldn’t , maybe he would just prove Santorum right.

We do know Obama’s Daddy was a Muslim, his Stepdaddy was a Muslim His Grad daddy and Mother were Atheists, his mentor Frank davis a Communist, and the firt time Obama was ontroduced to Christianity was with a man who said Goddamn the United States.There is no doubt in mym ind that if Obama is Christian it is a much different kind of Christian that we have seen, and all evidence points to his being Muslim.

How is it Christian to sit in a “church” for 20 years in which the “pastor” engages in racist and anti-Semitic rants?

Obama attended the church that followed the Black Liberation Theology. It came about in the early 70s’ and is based on a Marxism philosophy. Obama’s own books let you know who he is. Apparently not going to be too long before the Nation finds out just how entrenched it has become in the black community. Nation of Islam can’t be left out of the mix.

No he didn’t! It is about time people point out that those who support abortion can not call themselves Christian.

If it were a football game, the liberals would demand that they can run and pass, but conservatives can run only.
