Two things on this story, IMO. First, how utterly pathetic is it to say, after all this time (6 years in office), we still cannot say with 100% certainty if Obama is Christian or not.
Has Obama actually attended a event on the 'High Holy Days' of Christian belief? Events he wasn't public pushed into for photo ops and publicity purposes?
More importantly tho... I LOVE WHY Scott Walker gave the answer he did. This took me by surprise, because I just wasn't expecting it. I guess we need to learn to with this guy, but I'm too used to the scumbags we've had for almost 2 decades now. Walker just seemed to be blunt and straight about it.

Damn good point, IMO. While I am curious what the Presidents faith is (if any specific one at all), it is not important to the running of the nation at this stage. It sure doesn't matter anything to which person I vote for in 2016. Obama will be OLD news on that day, not a consideration of current thinking. So.....
Lets just not elect another who thinks their personal past can just be 'redacted' to a high % level, as if being President isn't a PUBLIC POSITION.

Walker said such questions from reporters are reflective of a broader problem in the nation’s political-media culture, which he described as fixated on issues that are not relevant to most Americans.
“To me, this is a classic example of why people hate Washington and, increasingly, they dislike the press,” he said. “The things they care about don’t even remotely come close to what you’re asking about.”
Walker said he does not believe that most Americans care about such matters.“People in the media will [judge], not everyday people,” he said. “I would defy you to come to Wisconsin. You could ask 100 people, and not one of them would say that this is a significant issue.”
