In this corner, wearing Black trunks, and hailing from the city of Chicago. Just coming off a Presidential Nominee win, with a lead in the popular vote. Ladies and gentlemen Barack Obama.

And in this corner, with the “pure” white trunks, hailing from Colorado Springs, Colorado. With a fan base from Focus on the family of over 200 million. Dr. James Dobson.

Now ladies and gentlemen all across America the decision made here could determine the fate of the free world as we know it. So with that in mind, LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!
….
Ok so that might have been a little melodramatic but there may be a bit of a battle brewing between these two men in the coming months. Obama has referenced biblical passages in some of his speeches before, and now Dr. James Dobson is citing those quotes as “made up“. Saying that he is iterpereting them to meet his own world view. NEWSFLASH the bible is nothing if not open to interpretation. Yes if you have ever sat through a sermon you know that the speaker tries to explain it the way that they see it. However if you read and or listen to the bible you are pretty much forced to come up with your own interpretattion. Plus if you read the bible you quickly notice that it contridicts it’s self, depending on what part you are refrencing. So maybe these religious leaders should realize that any thinking idividual is going to form there own opinions in reference to the bible, and that they should try to nuture the individuals opinion, and perhaps provide some wisdom to help influence the new opinion. Not give the person their opinion and expect them to adopt it without question.

In the news lately there has been big hype not only concering the Democratic and Republician canidates for president but wether or not their respective wives are first lady material. There is some news to say the americans may be ready for a black president, but not ready for a black first lady. What? Quite frankly I think that this is just more mud slinging. Now you may say that I have in fact be slinging mud at Barack Obama however I have tried to never bring his personal life into it. I have commented on the public speaches he has given and responded to the words he has used, but I never commented on the rumor the Barack was a muslim, and I will leave it at that. I like most americans wish that presidential campaigns could be “cleaner” and not bring personal effects into it. Both sides are guilty of this action, but the primary instagaters of this are: you guessed it the Media. From the people who brought you the fear that every white woman in america would be kidnapped, comes the new ground breaking special… So in the upcoming months please at least try to focus in the issues presented by the respective canidates, and vote based on that, and not on wether or not one canidate has the proper wife for the position of first lady.
