Hank Johnson supports Obama
U.S. Rep Hank Johnson of Georgia became the first Democratic congressional representative in that state to endorse Barack Obama.
Johnson stresses Iraq as a key issue in his support for Obama:
“Today more than ever, a fundamental change in the way we do our business in Washington is crucial,” said Johnson. “Barack Obama, who had the sound judgment to oppose the Iraq War early on, is the only candidate who will turn the page on this disastrous foreign policy and lead our nation to a new standing in the world.”
Barack talks "big tent" with CBN
In an interview with CBN, the fundamentalist broadcasting network run by Pat Robertson, Obama had this to say on religious tolerance:
Whatever we once were, we're no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of non-believers. We should acknowledge this and realize that when we're formulating policies from the state house to the Senate floor to the White House, we've got to work to translate our reasoning into values that are accessible to every one of our citizens, not just members of our own faith community.
