Obama Plays Defense on Faith Issue
Obama’s past ties with Islam – including having a Muslim father and stepfather living in the largely Muslim country of Indonesia during his childhood, and having the middle name Hussein – fueled the conspiracy theory that Obama is a Muslim in disguise trying to take over the White House.

This kind of politrickery can have detrimental effect on a candidate and his family. Children can become subjected to schoolyard taunts and may feel they have to answer questions about their faith from classmates.
Guidance For Parent's From The Holy Bible
In The Holy Bible, Joshua was faced with a similar circumstance. He assembled all the tribes of Israel at Shechem (Joshua 24:1-33) to confront the people whose domestic and religious lives involved immoral behavior, pagan customs and idol worship.
He publicly declared as for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
The advice given on parenting by Moses (Deuteronomy 10:18-19) was to fix the words of God in our hearts and minds and to teach them to our children is just as relevant today as it was in the Sinai Desert.
I want to share these modern commandments for parents living a faith-based lifestyle.

Who cares an why is it an issue, next it will be his preference for the Chicago Bears. LOL
Good points, and it seems to me that most of them would apply to non-Christian parents as well.
The points you posted should be looked at by all parents who want to raise a generation of loving, caring, empowered people in this land of ours. Obama, just because he is who he is will be criticized, villified and constantly answering questions about his family, his past and his religion instead of how does he plan to fix this messed up country we live in and bring our young men & fathers home before we don't have any left. I have read crazy stuff about his home church (and I know his pastor well), his step-grandmother, his African/Muslim/Catholic roots...in fact too much that is not as important as the job he will do for us as president. Let's get busy and do whatever we need to do to get the man elected!
