It was not even close. When asked what people visiting American Conservative Daily thought about Barack Obama and his sudden decision to leave the Trinity United Church of Christ, a church he defended over and over even as the radical message was becoming more and more widely known, the overwhelming answer was that it was a political calculation to distance himself from the long time church. Reasonable people would of course conclude that no one would belong to a church they did not agree with, and his leaving was seen as an attempt to distance himself from the controversial views.

This could be problematic for a man who has been claimed to transcend politics. Hard to do that when you are seen doing things for political expedience by such a clear majority.
But I have a sneaking suspicion that lots and lots of people don’t care – which has lead to the fall of nearly every nation on this planet over time.
