Jewish groups criticize McCain preference for Christian president

[oberliner]

Some Jewish groups are criticizing Senator John McCain after the Republican candidate said he would prefer a Christian president over someone of a different faith.

In an interview with Beliefnet, a Web site that covers religion, the White House hopeful was asked if a Muslim candidate could be a good president. He responded that America "was founded primarily on Christian principles," and that he would prefer someone who shares his Christian faith.

The National Jewish Democratic Council called the Arizona senator's comments repugnant.

McCain would be the perfect Republican nominee based upon his level of bigotry.
