Romney says Obama has 'fought against religion'

This is the sign of a desperate candidate if there ever was one.

SHELBY, Mich. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Tuesday that President Barack Obama's administration has "fought against religion" and sought to substitute a "secular" agenda for one grounded in faith.

Obama's campaign seized on the characterization, calling Romney's comments "disgraceful."

We'll see if it helps Romney with the extremists or if it just solidifies in everyone's mind how he'll say anything to pander to the voters he needs at the moment. I'm guessing the latter.

This guy says he is a leader and proclaims that he is ready to be the leader of the free world.

Yet he is following the hateful religious/political rhetoric and propaganda of little Ricky Santorum and the Santorumites like a wet puppy with its tail between his legs.
