in response to reader comment: what does it matter?

Ashlock asks: "what does it matter?"

It could very well matter in certain situations where the job of President requires him to pull the trigger against certain enemies of the United States- "trigger" referring to the entire range of weapons at the President's disposal. Would he hesitate to use lethal force in some form against a muslim country? To give him the benefit of the doubt, one supposes that he would if circumstances required it. But as his parentage is one half from a religion that roundly and repeatedly declares its hatred of the United States and whose fanatical wing is avidly trying to kill all Americans, the question should be addressed in earnest by Mr. Obama if he wants to be elected.

It's a question that could, if I were a Democrat, cause me to vote for someone else if the answer was not forthcoming.
