Besides, Obama merely attends the church; he isn't its pastor or its

door before entering the public square. Abraham Lincoln, William
Jennings Bryan, Martin Luther King Jr. — indeed, the majority of great
reformers in American history — were not only motivated by faith, they
also used religious language to argue for their cause. To say men and
women should not inject their "personal morality" into policy debates
is a practical absurdity; our law is by definition a codification of
morality."

Barak Obama, USA Today, 7/10/2006



So?

There's no conflict in the two statements. Obama isn't shoveling religion,
and neither did Lincoln or King. Bryan, of course, did.



Is Huckabee?
