Weibert’s Office

A great comment from Nicholas D. Kristof of NY Times’ blog regarding his latest article -
The Push to ‘Otherize’ Obama

We Americans never cease to embarrass ourselves. The idea that Obama’s religion is more significant than the mess we’re in after nearly 30 years of irresponsible economic decisions is boggling. Is it laziness or ignorance or perhaps the intellectual and academic laziness that makes us ignorant? Personally, I’d prefer to see an atheist or agnostic in office, one who I can be certain will rely on science and thorough study to do what’s right. I agree nevertheless that the silly Muslim rumors are designed to bring out the ugliest in us, not our best. I cringe when I see national polls as I understand that so many of those being polled really couldn’t give a hoot about the critical issues being discussed.
