could I get an opinion?

[Brian Vita] Unless, of course, he was a campaign shill.  Personal views
aside, ANY candidate is surrounded by handlers who set up his every move.
Very little that happens under the scrutiny of the all-seeing press corp eye
is not scripted from Bill & Hillary's famous walk along Normandy Beach to
Obama's prayers.  This is not a partisan issue, it happens on both sides of
the aisle.

If this were a true "fact finding" mission, there would not be a scripted
press junket to document his every move.  If he truly wanted to pray in
private, arrangements would have been made.
