>>A reporter asked Obama what he thinks of black liberation theology and why he chose a church that espouses it. Obama didn't want to touch it, saying he was "not a theologian."<< Brian - I do see that answer as a dodge, but an artful one. I think the question strays dangerously into the territory of forcing a candidate to defend the specifics of his faith. The Constitution does guarantee that there should be "no religious test" for any candidate for federal office. Thus, I don't really consider that a valid question for a presidential candidate. It would, perhaps, have been better if Obama had simply refused to answer the question on those grounds. - Allen
