Meet Barack Dobson
How different are they? Really? James Dobson and Barack Obama? On the face of it there is little, save their shared humanity, that seems to unite the two men. From their skin color to their positions on abortion, gay...Filed Under: barack obama, casting stones, james dobson, jim wallis, sojourners

The "ctrl-alt-del" candidate
Even though I'm a Mac guy, here's a Windows take on Barack Obama. He is the 'ctrl-alt-del' candidate. He is the guy people are looking to restart, reboot, Washington DC and all that it has come to symbolize.

Sen. Kennedy's tumor... and mine
This is not a time to get weepy or maudlin about Sen. Kennedy. He really has just begun to fight. I know what I'm talking about. Five years ago, in the earliest hours of Palm Sunday morning, a doctor informed...Filed Under: brain tumor, casting stones, glioma, kennedy, senator kennedy

Race
I just watched 90 minutes of election coverage on CNN... 90 minutes that can best be summarized as 90 minutes of evidence that Sen. Obama's brilliant race speech needs to revisited.

Obama, again
My friend Joe Carter, who blogs at Evangelical Outpost, left this comment about Obama that I wanted to highlight because it is the polar opposite of mine... I think... Obama's latests back-pedaling can't be squared with his original comment. Now...Filed Under: barack obama, casting stones, democratic nomination, hillary clinton, jeremiah wright, jerry falwell, liberals, michael weisskopf, pat robertson, san francisco

Barack meet Michael... and Howard... and Muskie
“[I]t’s not surprising, then, that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” This quote is the equivalent...Filed Under: barack obama, casting stones, democratic nomination, hillary clinton, jeremiah wright, jerry falwell, liberals, michael weisskopf, pat robertson, san francisco

"It isn't presidential"
