That is the title of this interesting article by a radio host in Boise (who is not a Mormon). I thought it was a good question, so I'll ask it again: how bad could a Mormon president be?
My answer is: as bad as any other Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc. president. Would I expect any president who believed these faiths to turn America into a theocracy based on their faith of choice putting their personal beliefs into law? Absolutely not. That's why we have the government system we do. It is the person's values, record, character, ability, etc. that will make them a good or bad president.
This radio host has resigned himself to four more years of Obama. I certainly hope other American voters are not. It will be interesting to see what happens if Obama and Romney are pitted against one-another, especially if Obama decides to 'kill Romney' with personal attacks because he can't run on merit as reported on Politico.com. Perhaps if the stock market continues to crash, the housing market continues to slow, fewer people get jobs than expected (which seems to be the jobless report every time we get one), and still no one knows what Obama's plans are for anything, Americans will decide they really CAN vote for a Mormon over more of the non-hope Obama's presidency has been.
Personally, I'm sick of hearing Obama say, 'We must do better,' and 'I have put together a committee and have a plan.' I don't believe him; it's not encouraging. It's just annoying. Maybe he should go back on Oprah, that would probably help is ratings.
But I don't watch Opera either.
