No, it is a question of degree, which evidently continues to escape your comprehension. And I'm still not convinced that these gents have not largely nodded to their religion largely for appearances because of the stupidly ignorant belief of much of the general population that to be and atheist is to be "godless," and that this is somehow bad. An atheist has yet to be elected to any meaningful public office, and that speaks to the backward nature of the societies in which they operate. Therefore, one adapts to the environment. In Romney's case, his history is imbued with religion so he arguably buys into it completely. Therefore, by simple comparison, I'm willing to give Obama the benefit of the doubt.

LOL! A question of degree? You're the guy on the jury who let's the rapist walk because he only stuck the head in. Couldn't have hurt that bad.
Let's face it. You're political bias is so over powering that you are willing to be openly hypocritical on an issue which you would otherwise chastise every other person who is religous in any way.
So it's okay if it's a "dream" where Obama Snr spoke to his son about his ideas ? How about Muhammad and his dreams where he subsequently wrote about it? Where do you draw the line?
Prophet Muhammad (salallahu alayhi wa sallam) narrates his dream, âI saw a dream last night that two people came to me, took hold of my hand and led me towards a sacred place. I saw a man sitting and another standing with pincers in his hand. He was tearing open the sitting manâs cheek until it reached his neck. He then did the same with the other cheek. In the meantime, the first cheek came back to its normal position, so he did the same to it again.
I asked the angels: âWhat is this?â They replied: âCarry on further.â
This Hadith has been recorded in Al-Jaami` as-Saheeh, by Al-Bukhaari, from Samurah Ibn Jundub, Hadeeth # 7047 and 138
You're just being dense. By question of degree, I refer to the relative degree of stupidity rather than religiosity. The more religious, the more stupid, all else being equal. I would go with the less stupd alternative. And, as I noted but you chose to ignore, I'm still hoping he's doing it more for appearances than anything else, because it is otherwise a dealbreaker in this theocracy/democracy. Let it sink in. And then see if you can explain it to Lucrum. (Good luck with that.)
