    Obama campaign adviser says Santorum crossed line

    WASHINGTON (AP) — An adviser to President Barack Obama's re-election campaign says GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum went "well over the line" when he questioned Obama's Christian values.

    Robert Gibbs tells ABC's "This Week" that it's time "to get rid of this mindset in our politics that, if we disagree, we have to question character and faith."

    Gibbs says the country would be better served if presidential candidates focused instead on the economic challenges faced by the middle class.

    Santorum said on Saturday that Obama's agenda is tied to "some phony theology" not based on the Bible.

    Gibbs' forceful rebuke suggests Obama's campaign is taking Santorum more seriously these days as a potential general election challenger.

        Joe M: I hear rumors that there is still a middle class. Guess we have to look reaaal hard to find a real live "middle class" person. Maybe the politicians in D.C. could hold a scavenger hunt and find one to show us? LOL!!

        I believe I'm middle class, I'm certainly not rich but I make enough to have a house and a car and no debt.

        I don't think you can be middle class unless you are a white, right wing Christian.

      just so tired of all the smoke and mirrors, hand waving, etc. Who is willing to identify a CAUSE of the mess we are in, and then provide SOLUTION(s) to clean it up? Do we have any candidates with spines???
      • s 3 mths ago
        The cause is turning our backs on God and what He says is truth. The solution is turning back to Him.

      ...all I want to hear from any candidate is: how, specifically, they intend to get jobs back from overseas. Don't want to hear anything else come out of their mouths.

      Though this seems obvious, just because you are not a conservative does not mean you are a liberal and just because you are not a liberal does not make you a conservative. What happened to reason in this nation?

      As a republican voter I think that it would be well served for the people running for office to stay out of the values business and stick with the common defense and fiscal health of our country and abide by the constitution and our bill of rights.

      thanks to popular media, there is less and less facts and more and more feelings and emotions being expressed. and looking from these posts, there is no facts, only feelings and beliefs here. I would much rather see real facts.
