"And obama did stop wearing the american flag pin which he had worn." Thank God. Tapdance Larry Craig wears one of them. "heard it from Mrs. Obama as well." I think the last time I was really proud of this country was the Miracle on Ice, 1980.

You need to look at the forest and not the trees. A priest is no God. A priest is a human being and hence is fallible like Obama. Look at the forest in that a person (priest or otherwise) can be surrounded with things that are undesireable. The challenge is to not fall a victim to the undesireables. Furthermore, it is creditworthy if being in the midst of the undesireable, you succeed in transforming it. Furthermore, the church is not characterized by the actions or views of a single person. The Church has been intrumental in many people's life including Obama's. You take what is good and leave out what is bad. A culture that does not disagree with respect is doomed to turn people off. More later on the flag.
