and it took a campaign hell-bent on destroying him months to find. Congratulations. I've yet to meet anyone who attended every service or sermon at their church in 20 years. In fact, most Catholics I know are hard to find at mass on a regular basis.

When I was a kid, I was really close to the priest of the Catholic church I attended. He was like a father to me in the absence of my own. Years later, I would find out that he was dismissed from the church because he apparently liked to hook up with men at truck stops. Does that mean that all of the the things he had taught me about faith and spirituality were null and void. Does that mean that every word ha had ever spoken was untrue? No. Therefore, your point that someone belonging to a church with an unethical preacher doesn't really sway my opinion of Obama much. Unlike you, I don't measure the man on the failings of people he has known. I measure him on his own merit, and there's nothing suggest he endorses these views. In fact, he has outright denied and rejected them.
