I'll concede that. Between all the discourse on legitimate rape, obamacare and the Libyan ambassador it seems that many people have glossed over the fact that both of these men subscribe to patently fraudulent belief systems. It doesn't matter that Obama is moderate in his faith, he is still the president of the most powerful nation in the world in the 21st century and his life is framed in medieval nonsense.
Even a casual dig into mormonism reveals it's nature as a poorly writtenfiction thrown together by either a master con or a madman.
I despair to doubt that anyone handed that much power is capable of divorcing their political goals from their religious delusions, if they have any.
You can see shades of this even in my nation's (Australia) government. Our prime minister is an unmarried, childless atheist who has an out & proud lesbian as a senior cabinet minister yet still refuses to support same-sex marriage on the grounds that this country's culture is based on biblical structures. The drivel that the other guy believes is even worse.
Obama may not be perfect, but at least he doesn't wear magic underpants. I don't think america's reputation would recover if they handed control of their nuclear arsenal over to _that_ particular flavour of crazy.
