and not to be taken literally about his last name spelling. It has to do with the totality of the man and where he is coming from. I question why everyone keeps talking about "religion" of the candidate. His "religion" does not bother me. It is the political leanings that his congregation seem to hold that worry me. I think that all the BO fans should carefully examine exactly what he has to offer and who he really is and decide if anything about him that is concrete and of value to us as a country. So far, I see nothing and am holding BO in contempt for not showing up to his current "job" and voting for his constituents who elected him. What if he represents us in a similar fashion if he becomes POTUS? I just think he is so busy being an icon and "popular" that he is shunning his duty. I don't hold that lightly. I also see where Hillary did not show up to vote either. We need a better way to run elections as it seems that candidates always shirk their duties when one is going on and there ought to be a law against it. I don't know if JM voted or not, but would not be surprised if he didn't. Why do we pay senators and representatives who don't do their jobs? Even more to the point, why did we elect them in the first place?
