Maybe if Leo drew a mustache on him...

Horns. Not a mustache, horns.

This is a real shame. He needs to keep to his mantra of rising above politics as usual. Too bad he isn't using this as a teachable moment for America.

He isn't going to go near a Mosque.

Color me not at all suprised that Obama's becoming a hypocritical dickhead. I just didn't expect it so soon.


It's one thing to go back on his pledge about public financing. But now he's repudiating his stance on the new FISA legislation, and suddenly supports this drastic curtailment of our 14th Amendment privacy rights. It's a shameless and disgusting attack on the Constitution, one Obama said he'd never support ... before he was the leading candidate for President.

Pfft, it's only June. I can hardly wait to see how disgusting he'll get by November ... and what a disgraceful president he will turn out to be ... LIKE ALL THE OTHERS.

I found this website that takes Dobson to task for his comments about Obama and the Bible.
Click here
I think there needs to be more people speaking up when this fool presumes to talk for all Christians.

Dobson is a bad man, but I don't think there was anything out of the ordinary about what he said. It basically boils down to, "We're powerful constituents, and we get to try to muscle politicians to do what we want because we want it. We don't have to convince anyone it's for the common good."

There are limits to teachable moments. When Thurgood Marshall was litigating Brown and its predecessors, he ran like hell from all involvement with the American Communist party, even though they supposedly had the black man's interest at heart.

If I were a demonized American Muslim, I would vote for Obama in a heartbeat because I would feel safer (domestically) with him as president. Of course, for him to get to be president, he probably has to win Florida.

It's like when Sharpton or Jackson is presumed to speak for the black constituency, or some spokesperson from NOW is presumed to speak for all women, or someone from CAIR is presumed to speak for all Muslims.

By the way, you may not like Dobson, and that's cool, but his book about raising boys is freakin' right on the money.

Nope. The man has absolutely no credibility in my book. The guy is a hate monger.

Hold on a moment. I have more to say about this comment.
Dobson believes in Conversion Therapy, that through counseling or prayer someone can switch from being gay to straight. The man was a psychologist, yet a majority in the mental health field disagree with his thinking.
In "Bringing Up Boys" he says:

"Homosexuals deeply resent being told that they selected this same-sex inclination in pursuit of sexual excitement or some other motive."

I'm sorry, but I would not want my son being misinformed by Dobson.

The Dobson run Focus on the Family website has a store where you can buy books on Conversion Therapy called "Leaving the Lifestyle". I was forced to go through a Conversion Therapy process as a teen. Since this is what my parents wanted, I decided to willingly give it a shot. It doesn't work.
