COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - As Barack Obama broadens his outreach to evangelical voters, one of the movement's biggest names, James Dobson, accuses the likely Democratic presidential nominee of distorting the Bible and pushing a "fruitcake interpretation" of the Constitution.
The criticism, to be aired Tuesday on Dobson's Focus on the Family radio program, comes shortly after an Obama aide suggested a meeting at the organization's headquarters here, said Tom Minnery, senior vice president for government and public policy at Focus on the Family. Dobson accuses Obama of 'distorting' Bible - Barack Obama News - MSNBC.com Considering that Dobson is a major figure within the dominion theology/Christian Reconstructionism camps, I'm going to side with Obama on this one, even if I don't necessarily agree with what Obama says.

The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. "I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up." The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves." |

He didn't say Obama was a fruitcake, he said Obama's interpretation of the Constitution was fruitcake. Note: "He said Obama, who supports abortion rights, is trying to govern by the 'lowest common denominator of morality,' labeling it 'a fruitcake interpretation of the Constitution.'"

If you haven't yet seen the speech he is referring to you should. It was good, I know I am biased but Obama did well disusing the logic behind leaving morality out of the government.

People like Dobson need to mind their own business. I couldn't care less what Dobson says about Obama or anything else for that matter.
