Obama Has A “Fruitcake Interpretation” Of The Constitution

Sen. Barack Obama Meet James Dobson
In 2006, before the Wright controversy, Barack Obama gave a speech on religion in society. During the speech Barack Obama lashed out at
activist pastors? who offer more “screed than sermon.” Of course, this was before the world learned that he had been attending sermons for 20 years with racist anti-American pastor-mentors Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Father Pfleger.
“Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy?” Obama asked in the speech. “Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating shellfish is an abomination? Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount?
“So before we get carried away, let’s read our Bible now,” Obama said, to cheers. “Folks haven’t been reading their Bible.”
He also called Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount “a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful that our Defense Department would survive its application.”
In the comments aired Tuesday, Dobson said Obama should not be referencing antiquated dietary codes and passages from the Old Testament that are no longer relevant to the teachings of the New Testament.

“I think he’s deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own world view, his own confused theology,” Dobson said, adding that Obama is “dragging biblical understanding through the gutter.”
