Because America never had a President with anything but a Christian background before. With Obama, we have a President with a Muslim background in Indonesia who converted to Christianity.

Even JFK had problems being a Catholic. Religion has always been an issue.

Why do you think Obama suddenly started going to church four weeks ago?
