"... the Republican presidential candidate reiterated the controversial position of uncertainty that he staked out in February." "Controversial"? In whose eyes? Who cares?

COMMENTS: 
*  How can anyone be sure Gov. Walker hasn't had a lobotomy without meeting him?
*  Does Scott Walker have a brain? I don't know but I presume he has one. I've never talked to him.
*  I don't care what Scott Walker believes. I don't care that he professes he is a Christian. He doesn't show his Christian belief by example. He is all for Scott and cares little for other people. That doesn't seem to be Christian. President Obama lives his Christian faith. Just look at what he has tried to do for all Americans. He is closer to Jesus than Scott for sure.
*  Walker is untrustworthy. He is a pathological liar who will say one thing before the election and do the complete opposite immediately after the election.
*  What Scott Walker believes or doesn't believe is important? Not on my planet.
*   Do I really care what Scott Walker thinks about anything ? Not at all. His actions speak for themselves. His constant unchristian acts, policies, lies, and behavior tell me everything I need to know about him. He professes Christianity. His behavior and policies make me question his words. He should be the last one questioning anyone's Christianity, much less Obama's. He is pandering to the base. What else?

Scott Walker is still unsure whether Obama is Christian
By James Hohmann, August 1, 2015

Scott Walker still does not know whether President Obama is a Christian.

Fielding questions at the Koch network’s donor summit here Saturday night, the Republican presidential candidate reiterated the controversial position of uncertainty that he staked out in February.

“You’re not going to get a different answer than I said before,” the Wisconsin governor said. “I don’t know. I presume he is. … But I’ve never asked him about that. As someone who is a believer myself, I don’t presume to know someone’s beliefs about whether they follow Christ or not unless I’ve actually talked with them.”

The comment came at the end of a half-hour question-and-answer session before about 400 of the biggest donors in GOP politics.

Walker wrapped up his answer by saying, “He’s said he is, and I take him at his word.”

Obama has repeatedly professed his Christian faith and attended Christian church services.

Back in February, The Washington Post asked Walker whether Obama is a Christian during the National Governors Association meeting.

“I don’t know,” he said then. “I’ve actually never talked about it or I haven’t read about that … I’ve never asked him that. … You’ve asked me to make statements about people that I haven’t had a conversation with about that.”

Democrats quickly seized on the comment, including former senior Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer and top Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias.

Why are so few Republicans unable or unwilling to answer this question https://twitter.com/mateagold/status/627630428363448320 …

Absolutely shameful. I did not (& do not) support McCain, but what has the GOP become? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRq6Y4NmB6U … https://twitter.com/mateagold/status/627630428363448320 …
