I heard Jayar's comment, "just because you go to a church doesn't mean that you have to live and believe exactly what you pastor says"... and then I thought of the earlier terview about liberals vs. conservatives, and I have this idea... I'm not a regular church-going person, but the liberal churches I have been to (usually Unitarian) espose that you should question things, whereas a conservative church (I've been to a couple) says you must believe this or you're going to HELL!  Thus, I don't see that conservative church-goers would easily buy Obama disavowing what his pastor says... their mind would tell them that if they believe everything _their_ pastor says, then Obama must, too, and he's lying!
