Re. the president's worldview

In the latest installment of Santorum-as-Scold, (In weaving faith into campaign, Santorum resorts to chiding opponents - The Washington Post) the so-called Mainstream Media quotes an amazingly air-headed from a Penn professor . . . referring to Santorum, the professor says:
“Scolding just makes you look old. I shouldn’t say old, so I’ll say something else: Scolding just makes you look dour,” said Anthea Butler, a professor of religious studies at the University of Pennslyvannia (sic). “You need to be a little bit more” than that, she said.
Whuh? Wouldn't want to "look old." What a load of shallow, generationist twaddle.

By the way, inasmuch as President Obama refers to his religious beliefs in support of his policies (here), his "theology" is fair game. Kudos to Rick Santorum for having the guts to point out that--in his opinion, the Emperor has no sound worldview.
