This issue is a bit silly. America's foreign policy and economy are headed for disaster and you really think that Obama's minister should determine one's vote? Apparently many Americans voted for Bush in 2004 because Kerry supported gay marriages. Now many of these same voters are facing foreclosure and shrinking paychecks (and gays are still getting married). Influential Democrats who have endorsed Obama (e.g., ex-Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker and ex-National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brezezinski) are more significant than this eccentric old minister.
Almost every modern American president has received spiritual counseling from Reverend Billy Graham, who is on record for making the following remarks about Jews. Does that make those past presidents unfit?
