It find it ironic is that the media will poke fun and criticize Kucinich for claiming to have spotted a UFO (notice he never said spaceship) yet seem to be content with candidates who believe that the earth is 6,000 years old and that man & dinosaur once coexisted.

He's Catholic. But doesn't talk much about religion,
as it should be due in politics. Very appealing.
In Iowa his great comeback after the unseamly
question, "Do you pray to God?"
KUCINICH: George, I've been standing here for
the last 45 minutes praying to God you were goin
g to call on me. And my...
(LAUGHTER)
(APPLAUSE)
And I come from a spiritual insight which says that...
STEPHANOPOULOS:
You have a direct pipeline, Congressman.
(LAUGHTER)
KUCINICH: I come from a spiritual insight which says
that we have to have faith but also have good works.
So when we think of the scriptures, Isaiah making
justice the measuring line; Matthew 25, "whatever
you do for the least of our brethren"; where the biblical
injunction, "make peace with your brother" --
all of these things relate to my philosophy.
Now, the founders meant to have separation of church
and state, but they never meant America to be separate
from spiritual values. As president, I'll bring strong spiritual
values into the White House, and I'll bring values that value
peace, social and economic justice, values that remember
where I came from.
Thank you.

Sounds for me indeed like tad a bit more serious an
approach to daily miracles, than you wish to impose.
While I am not catholic, and would know anyway
where the stones happen to be under the surface.
Airbags could work, too. Modified. Don't try that at
home, but walking on the water, now really, no problem.

From what I heard, he, like many other people, didn't say he saw little green men emerging from flying saucers. He said he saw a UFO, unidentified flying object. Which means, when interpreted correctly, that he saw something of an odd shape flying through the sky. Not so unusual when you add sanity and fairness into the diatribe, is it?
And just to set the lie straight from the person above, Kucinich was rejected from military service because of a heart murmur.
And it was taken (reluctantly) from a conservative blog.

No, not really. While I'm pretty sure what Mr. Kucinich said was not very smart, especially for a presidential candidate, it seems that he was taking the acronym U-F-O very seriously. He doesn't claim to see a spaceship, just an Unidentified Flying Object. Still weird, though.

By asking the question shows you do not understand what faith is. He said he saw it. Where the faith?In him? You believe him or you don't that not faith. And what did he say he saw? A space ship? No. A UFO.

It doesn't surprise me that he's seen a UFO. He weasled his way out of serving in Vietnam by taking a letter from his shrink saying he was mentally unfit to serve. It's seems his shrink was right!
