Now, why would you add, "by most accounts" to your comment, Ivan?
Maybe because I'm cynical by nature and adhere to Reagan's philosophy of, "trust but verify".
Even so, I place far more trust in someone who says he follows the teachings of Christ than I do in those who's God, under certain circumstances, gives them permission to lie, cheat, steal, maim, rape, invade, torture, and murder.
If that makes me an Ivan, then so be it! Obama.
