I think that criticism is unjustified. It's a cute term, but noone shouldn't be criticized for who he is.
You should understand that private faith does not force public decisions. That's how you work at compromise. I haven't given up what I believe, but I live in community - in a city, state, nation, and world - with people who don't believe what I believe. That doesn't make them defective or inferior.
I do what I do. Barack Obama does what politicians do.
