WASHINGTON (AP) - An adviser to President Barack Obama's re-election campaign says GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum went "well over the line" when he questioned Obama's Christian values.

Robert Gibbs tells ABC's "This Week" that it's time "to get rid of this mindset in our politics that, if we disagree, we have to question character and faith."

Gibbs says the country would be better served if presidential candidates focused instead on the economic challenges faced by the
middle class.

Santorum said on Saturday that Obama's agenda is tied to "some phony theology" not based on the Bible.

Gibbs' forceful rebuke suggests Obama's campaign is taking Santorum more seriously these days as a potential general election challenger.

I avoid jumping in to such mud puddles as I feel government should not be enforcing or backing any religeon even if it happens to be my own . Because someday it may not be my own that gets enforced or backed.

The Kenyan President crossed the line when he claimed to be an American born citizen, and disavowed his radical Muslim Roots! He crossed the line when he attacks the Christian Faith; when he began decreasing our military defenses in a very dangerous way during dangerous times, and runs our country into the ground. To top it off he creates a class war, as part of his administration’s policies, with help from Senator Dirty Harry and Rep. Nasty Nancy, turning American against American, and enslaves millions of Americans to government subsistence- hoping to create a new voting block to vote him in a second term. He will be known as the most maniacal Pres. in U.S. history. Like Joe Wilson said about our Kenyan Pres.-You Lied! The Kenyan President crossed the line!
