17. Thank you. Obama acknowledged non-believers in a major speech.
Something that NO other candidate has done, including Edwards. I like Edwards (a lot) but I'll never forget his syrupy pseudo-sincere objection to gay marriage due to his faith. :puke: If that wasn't pandering, I don't know what is.

And d'ya think Clinton will EVER acknowledge that there are atheists in this country? I don't think so. In fact, here is her comment to a question put to her about how she dealt with her husband's infidelity: “At those moments in time when you are tested, it is absolutely essential that you be grounded in your faith,” Okay, that's fine for her, but why is she making a statement that implies that "faith" is how EVERYONE should deal with a personal trial? Because that is exactly what that comment is doing, IMO.
