Comments
I read the article anticipating a negative slant on President Obama. I was pleased to see that the article was informative and fair. I also read the article comparing the difficulty both Romney and President Obama face in regards to the public's knowledge about their faith. That too was helpful in pointing out their similarities and difficulties in relating to a mostly uniformed public. In regards to Michelle Bachmann being qualified for office...one thing is clear to me. It is not a gender or religious affiliation issue; but one of who is most qualified to lead the country.
