Growing up doesnt happen between the ages of 6 and 10, he didnt grow up in Indonesia. So far so good with the exaggeration, then?

What if Truman, Ike, kenendy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton or Bush had the same background and then said they were born again Christians? Would they then become eligible in the sight of all men to run for President of the United States with any hope of obtaining that office?.

Why should a candidate's religion make a difference? And surely the point of being a "born-again" Christian is that a fundamental change ocurred?
