Dobson Goes After Obama

James Dobson says Barack Obama is distorting the Bible. On today's edition of his Focus on the Family radio program, Dobson played segments of a speech Obama made two years ago.

Obama says, "Even if we did have only Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christian from the United States of America, whose Christianity would we teach in the schools? Would we go with James Dobson's or Al Sharpton's?"

Dobson tells listeners that Obama went on to “deliberately distort” traditional Christianity by his comments on the Old Testament’s dietary codes. Dobson says if you follow out Obama's comments to their logical conclusion, you would wind up letting the lowest common denominator decide public policy.

Obama’s representatives have approached Dobson about a meeting at the organization's headquarters in Colorado. Focus says it will consider the offer. McCain has not met with Dobson either.
