I’d like to hear conservatives respond, “I don’t know Obama’s religion, his usual breakfast, or his favorite actress. Do you have any questions relevant to the Office of the Presidency?” Even though we all know Obama is not a Christian by any meaningful definition, Walker should both dodge the question and overtly question the media’s professionalism in resorting to gotcha questions.

I’ve referred to him as “the John the Baptist of the Anti-Christ”.

In the 2012 polls, one-third or more of respondents said theydidn't know Mitt Romney's religion, either.If I didn't know better, that would seem like a Leno's Jay Walking segment. And you wonder why the country is in the shape it is.

There are a thousand-and-one issues on which any national political figure can legitimately be expected to have an opinion. The inner spiritual life of the president any president isn't one of them. Any Judeo-Christian religion, may be out of bounds, but Islam is definitely not because of its political attributes respecting no other religion.

Walker really gave the Media pukes a problem when he said “I don't know.” He should have added, “There's a sizable number of Americans who don't know either. Why don't you ladies and gentlemen vet his religious affiliation? Then report back your findings. Next question.”

"I had a father who was born a Muslim but became an atheist, grandparents who were non-practicing Methodists and Baptists, and a mother who was skeptical of organized religion," Obama told attendees at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2009, two weeks after becoming president.
Hmmm, the story was that his mother and grandparents went to a Unitarian Church in Bellevue, Washington in the 1950s. His grandmother's memorial service was at First Unitarian in Honolulu. He wouldn't lie about something like that would he?

It’s just the latest “Gotcha” question that they pose only to Republicans to (hopefully) make them look bad. The biased media assume that ANY answer will hurt Walker—if he says Christian, they thing the Right wing will be mad and call him a RINO; if he says Muslim, the media will wail and scold; so because he said what he said, they’re trying to concoct the idea that Walker is faintly saying Obama is not a Christian...
Result—Gotcha!!!!

The next time someone from the patronizing MSM asks a republican candidate that question they should answer as follows. Look Im not a theologian and never asked Mr. Obama that question. However if you are really interested why dont have your White house correspondent ask him if he believes in the divinity and resurrection of Jesus Christ or his definition of a Christian? Good question and Im sure there are people who would like to hear his answer." << Heh. I love that! EXCELLENT example of how to deal with the mainstream media's loaded questions and throw it right back at them. I hope some GOP candidates follow your example.

Beautiful--deserves a repeat.
The next time the presstitutes ask a Republican candidate a "gotcha" question like this one, the answer should be as follows: Look, Im not a theologian and I've never asked Mr. Obama that question. However, if you are really interested, why dont have your White house correspondent ask him (1) if he believes in the divinity and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and, (2) his definition of a Christian? Im sure there are lots of voters who would like to hear his answers.
