The Obama evangelical love-fest continues with recent comments by Baptist icon and 700 Club host and founder Rev. Pat Robertson.

Interviewed on December 23rd by CNN's Suzanne Malveaux, the former Republican presidential candidate said:

I am remarkably pleased with Obama. I had grave misgivings about him. But so help me, he's come in forcefully, intelligently. He's picked a middle of the road cabinet. And so far, if he continues down this course, he has the makings of a great president. So, I'm very pleased so far.

Conversely, speaking of the Bush presidency, Robertson stated, "But I believe I would look at about a C-minus right now if I were grading him." I can't wait to hear Pat's predictions for 2009.

From Wright to Robertson, Obama continues to woo the clergy. Let's hope he lives up to the heavenly expectations.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
