CBS News reports: President Bush's own pastor -- Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell who introduced Mr. Bush at the Republican National Convention in 2000 and also married Bush daughter Jenna a few weeks ago at the Bush family ranch -- has disavowed long time conservative evangelical religous leader James Dobson.
Rev. Caldwell's announcement comes in the form of a new website: jamesdobsondoesntspeakforme.com
Caldwell dials in for Senator Obama's weekly Friday morning prayer call (hosted by the Obama campaign) but is not an official surrogate for the campaign. Rev. Caldwell heads the 14,000 member Windsor Village United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas. For more on this story, click here.
Anderson Cooper at CNN also reports additional detail in his AC360 degrees column. Meanwhile, Senator Obama has reacted to Dobson's distortions, saying evangelical leader James Dobson "was making stuff up' when Dobson accused Obama of distorting the Bible.
