...Obama disappointed many who attended the forum. Obama says he is thinking big when it comes to health-care reform, but he was noticeably uncomfortable when pressed for details. Morgan Miller, a young woman in the audience, told Obama that she had searched his campaign website for specifics and hadn't found them.

The Christian group Focus on the Family complained, "It is a sad day when the Bible is banned from the jury room." Who's most at fault here? The jurors, who perhaps hadn't noticed that in the Gospel of Matthew Jesus rejects the eye-for-an-eye rule, word for word, in favor of turning the other cheek? The Focus spokesman, who may well have known of Jesus' repudiation of the old law but chose to ignore it? Or any liberal...
