Obama 'distorting' Bible
Dr. James Dobson took exception to comments made by Barack Obama in a recent speech, saying that Obama has 'distorted' the Bible and that he is "dragging biblical understanding through the gutter." Dobson's main issue with Obama seems to be that he is saying, for example, 'that I can't seek to pass legislation that bans partial birth abortion because there are people who don't see that as a moral issue'. Dobson's response: "Now that is a fruitcake interpretation of the Constitution. We don't have to go to the lowest common denominator of morality which is what he is suggesting. Am I required in a democracy to conform my efforts in the political arena to his bloody notion of what is right with regard to the lives of tiny babies?"

Most politicians do not know the true essence of the Bible when it comes to politics. I'm stereotyping, I'm just saying that when they use the Bible for political gain it is not done in a way that shows the spirit of God revealed it to them, it is just a verse or something to backup what they are saying. They use the Bible like a book of quotes.
