Thier Opinion About Everything

Daniel Henninger has some thoughts about Saddleback.
How has it come to pass that presidential candidates must talk about such things?

Can one imagine Dwight Eisenhower, FDR or JFK being asked to define marriage? Abe Lincoln or George Washington could have handled Jesus, but stem cells? Would we have had better presidents back then if we made them talk about their greatest moral failure?

Maybe not. One guesses Jimmy Carter would have aced the Saddleback quiz. Harry Truman probably would have said it's none of your ---- business.
I'm sure he would have.

I'm glad I didn't have to watch it. Reading about it was enough.
