18. It's the one nation part that's important

That's what makes the attempt to misrepresent the President's beliefs as outside of the American mainstream such a dangerous and divisive tactic. There's absolutely no proof of what Romney claims, but attacks like this from folks who are supposed to be providing leadership threaten to fracture much more than just a candidate's prospects. Romney wants to exploit those beliefs for a petty competition instead of encouraging or fostering an appreciation of our nation's diversity.
