: TalkLeftBob Casey: Obama Expressed Regret For Gaffe, Is A "Person Of Faith"
By Big Tent Democrat
By Big Tent Democrat
On CNN Late Edition, Obama supporter and Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey said that Senator Barack Obama regretted his remarks and that Obama should not be judged solely by those remarks. Casey said that Obama made a poor choice of words, took responsibility for them and expressed his regret for any hurt he had caused.
More . . .
Casey argues that Pennsylvanians will judge Obama on his whole record, on who he is and what he stands for, not just one ill advised comment. Casey emphasizes that Obama is a person of faith. He mentions it three times.
The Obama camp completely backs down from the remarks. I wonder what all his supporter who were defending at all costs think about that. Does Obama lack the political courage they were so touting when they lauded the remarks? The answer is obvious - Obama is a pol, just like the rest of the pols,. He HAD to back away from the remarks. That is politics. Some folks need a reality check.
"Clinging to religion." Wolf says that phrase will come up in CNN's Faith Forum tonight. Asks Casey what Obama will say. Casey again harps on how religious Obama is. Casey touts how Obama has reached out to "people of faith." I know what he is talking about - Dems taking the bait is what Casey is talking about. I wonder if Obama supporter's heads will explode. Not really, they will reverse themselves as quick as Obama does.
Update (TL): Comments now closed.
