The more reasonable solution, in my opinion, is that neither should be chastised for their religious associations unless they suggest that they will run this country as a theocracy.
But if you disagree with Obama's loyalty to his church, that's your business.

There is a major difference, between a radical backing a candidate, & the candidate actually being a 20 year member of the radical organization.
I had no problems with Obama denouncing Luis Faragon, even though Faragon supported Obama.
I have a real problem with Pastor Wright, someone who was & has been in very close contact with Barack Obama over the last 20 years.
