The only time I hear about Hagee is when you bring it up. Few people outside the Dems care about this. But like I said before, this is a common tactic for Dems at election time, to highlight endorsements of Repub candidates by conservative ministers. Not news.

On the other hand, a candidate's minister of 20 years, the man that married the candidate and baptized the candidate's children, and then held a private prayer meeting with the candidate on the morning that the candidate announced; when that minister shreaks "God Damn America" and all manor of anti-american crap and then acts like a kook on national TV, that's news and goes to the judgement of the candidate.

Obama was either an opportunist or a fool; or perhaps a combination of the two. Or maybe he's just giving us politician speak like Wright has suggested.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
