I was asked recently, if I had to choose out of two candidates, who would I vote for: Clinton or Obama. I answered Obama. My reason being that he was not Clinton. But then I had to clarify that in reality I would choose neither, as Huckabee is more my style.
So it is with bemusement that I read the following piece about the preacher-style of Obama and how he seems to connect with people of a more conservative bent, even though what he preaches secular humanism. Interesting. So is he more dangerous than Clinton? How is that possible?
Maybe that bit of advice about "better the devil you know" is worth listening to.

Pro-life activist John Jakubczyk writes about Barack Obama, "He is an attractive, articulate voice for secular liberalism." Yes, the message is secular liberalism, but the voice is that of a preacher. Senator Obama sounds more like a minister than the real minister in the race, Gov. Mike Huckabee.Related Links: Preacher Man: Barack Obama and the Gospel of Liberalism ~ Inside Catholic
When you listen to the phrasing and cadence of Obama's sentences, the effect is unmistakable -- it's the sound of an African-American Evangelical preacher. The irony is obvious: The message is secular liberalism, but the mode of rhetorical delivery is Christian, Southern, African-American, and Evangelical. It's a sound that can make it seem like the message connects with social conservatism when, in fact, Obama is the candidate least in tune with traditional voters.
