Too what?

Sister Told Jah always has an interesting take. Here she is on Obama's Iowa victory. Don't necessarily agree, but conservatives can disagree and stay friends.

As with everything else related to liberalism, it’s more about looking and feeling good about something or someone, rather than digging deeper to examine that person or issue’s complexities - or lack thereof. Obama’s lack of experience and possession of a solidly liberal record is going to get heavily scrutinized in the days, weeks, and months to come, especially if he makes it beyond the primaries. I think Rudy or Fred would be a good general election opponent against Obama because, considering how the media will/would be falling all over Obama like a lovesick puppy, a “new and improved” McCain or Romney would be too busy trying to paint himself as the Republican version of Obama rather than trying to distinguish themselves and emphasize their differences with Obama, tout their accomplishments, and discuss their ideas. I think Fred and Rudy, on the other hand, have shown, that they have no problems differentiating themselves from the pack.

Last night I had to explain to a young'n who was worried that she might have to choose between a Muslim and a Mormon, that Barack Obama is not a Muslim. He's a member of a UCC congregation in Chicago, the same branch of Christianity which baptized her. I met his pastor this summer at Lakeside--fine young man with just enough call and response and politicizing to keep things lively. There are lots of reasons not to vote for him--but being a Muslim isn't one of them. And as for Romney being a Mormon? You couldn't get a piece of dental floss between the theological beliefs of Bill Clinton and George Bush, but you can drive a truck between the borders of their ethics and values. I will see them both in heaven. Go with the politician who lines up with what you believe is best for the country--that may not be a Baptist or Methodist or UCCist.
