There is nothing snide in the OP.

The OP is a critical thinker and has given a logical, well considered response to your post. My eyebrows have not bee raised in the slightest by Obama's statements. There is nothing in the OP that takes issue with YOUR offense to Obama's statement, but to go on to say that "MANY Americans" march lockset alongside you is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? You also seem to be twisting the context (as the OP observed McCain supporters often do) to conflate a word into a "path" Obama is traveling down. Far-fetched would be a polite way to describe that conclusion.
I am wondering what else does not quite "sit right with you. Would McCain camp's silence on and flight from the economic meltdown issue be one of those things? Seems to me that for "many Americans," it does not go down well at all.
Your hypocrisy statement is illogical to the point of incoherence, couched in an extreme exaggeration of Obama's DARING to employ religious reference. Here's a news flash for McCain's supporters. Obama is just as free to exercise his first Amendment rights the next guy and Right-wing fanatics do now own religious reference. Furthermore, Obama is certainly not trying to inject GOD into government by the mere use of the English word "epiphany" in one of his sentences. Talk about radical. That double standard accusation is overplayed to such an extent it is taking on the spectre of "boy cries wolf." No trivial to address. The messiah allegory is just as impotent and falls into the same category of campaign "issues."
Obama is not trying to be anybody's personal savior. He is nothing more than a candidate running for office and, at the moment, happens to be the one who is enjoying a double-digit lead in the polls.
