What an excellent commentary!
Of course, it was all about politics.
And it won't garner any increase in GW's popularity ratings.
I predict a negative effect.
Many people are just now reading the story, as it happened on the weekend, and many other news items pushed it out of the public consciousness. When it gets around in the Christian media, there will be a reaction.

It had nothing to do with politics. The entire PURPOSE of the dinner is for the president to get up and make fun of himself. Every president since Calvin Coolidge has attended. And what Christian media?

From what I have seen, the Christian media has turned a blind eye on the First Lady's speech. However, this topic has generated over 3,000 posts on FR alone. Furthermore, Michelle Malkin, Michael Savage, Bill Bennett and others may sufficiently roil the waters that the issue will not fade away, at least in the conservative community. The recent Terri Schiavo affair has made many social conservative activists restive and more dissatisfied with the status quo.

A great big YAWN.

And I certainly hope you are now not claiming to be "representative" of ANY religion as vile as you have been on these threads.
