The kicker is - Obama's "Statement" saying he doesn't aggree with the Singer/Pastor. It's absolutely 100% in contrast to Christianity to support a group whose focus is to promote sinful behaviour. Yet, Obama is blatantly pandering to the group by is statement.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
