Santorum says Obama agenda not "based on Bible"By Samuel P. Jacobs | Reuters 3 hrs ago
COLUMBUS, Ohio (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum challenged President Barack Obama's Christian beliefs on Saturday, saying White House policies were motivated by a "different theology."
A devout Roman Catholic who has risen to the top of Republican polls in recent days, Santorum said the Obama administration had failed to prevent gas prices rising and was using "political science" in the debate about climate change.
Obama's agenda is "not about you. It's not about your quality of life. It's not about your jobs. It's about some phony ideal. Some phony theology. Oh, not a theology based on the Bible. A different theology," Santorum told supporters of the conservative Tea Party movement at a Columbus hotel.
When asked about the statement at a news conference later, Santorum said, "If the president says he's a Christian, he's a Christian."
But not a TRUE...oh, you know...

Hey Ricky.... maybe it's not about theology at all. Some people don't base all their decisions on ancient superstitions. Obama is (unfortunately) no atheist, but when dealing with things like climate change or energy or medicine, he might make it about science, and reality with logic mixed in.

I think it is a huge assumption and really self-righteous to call into question someone else's personal beliefs. Not that it matters one iota to me, as long as they keep those beliefs to themselves and don't try to impose them on me. With Santorum, I am concerned that he will not keep them from imposing on me.
How many times does Santorum have to be told that there is a separation of church and state in this country. We do not want the Christian version of Sharia law.

I hope this clears it up. The idea is conserving oil and planning ahead. Wait a minute..............
