Why is Christianity now linked to hating Obama and being political?

Hi. I am Christian myself and I don't understand.

Just a while ago - a pastor's wife that I know. In facebook, someone posted a picture of a black dog with an afro, sunglasses, and "bling". The picture was about whatever, nothing political.

Then the lady goes and says "Looks like Obama" in a demeaning way. Then her son says, "oh don't insult the dog that way".

And sure enough the lady had a big Romney/Ryan banner in her profile.

The dog did not look like Obama, and I don't get how Christian people think acting that way is "what Jesus would do".

And it's not just her, this is just one example of what I've seen over and over with Christian people I know.

Every time I turn on the radio to a "Christian" station - sure enough they are talking about politics and about how Obama will destroy this nation.

People from pulpits, say any insulting jokes about him, and the whole crowd applauds and laughs.


I am a Christian and to me this is not Christian at all. I have my doubts about Obama's competency just as I have about Romney - but this level of disrespect from Christian people - I just don't get it.


Why?
