I’ll side with Obama over Burk on this one. And I do think (but don’t know for sure) that if George Bush had said this, Burk would not have stood up to cry foul. It is fashionable for conservatives to find fault in Obama although if one looks at his record of actions, I contend Obama is a little right of W on most subjects (more siding with Big Business, more troops abroad, more deregulation, more allowance of surveillance, more deportation) and left of W on a few (EPA enforcement, maybe a little less torture[but Gitmo still there]).

But Burk’s theological point about Jesus’s range of human emotions is not outrageous but instead an interesting question (one of many we won’t know the answer to this side of death).

I am amazed that Obama can do nothing acceptable to Conservatives --- and the hostility attached to their criticism.

By the way, my comment on the blog was moderated in. It will be interesting to see the responses.

It was George W. Bush who first tried to be "Theologian-in-Chief." He was lauded. When Obama tries, he is grilled. Go figure....

They even go so far as to keep passing around the stupid of "he's a Muslim / not an American citizen"---and the idiots keep passing it even when all the research indicates otherwise.

To say that Conservatives are mean and heartless is a compliment in my view!

A religion of love and forgiveness somehow evades them.
