Well he kind of does, as a typical politician Obama made words discrediting Dobson’s criticism in such a way that it sounded like calling Dobson a liar in such a way that Obama could claim plausible deniability.
Obama said this about Dobson:
Obama said this in reference to a radio broadcast by Dobson:
Gary McCullough the Director of Christian Newswire is of the opinion that Obama’s public dismissive rebuke of Dobson will sway Evangelicals which are not very excited about McCain to the McCain side. The meaning of this opinion being that Evangelicals disillusioned by fringe Leftist Obama who might have stayed in November 2008 may show up to the polls if for no other reason as a response for a personal attack on one of the most popular Evangelical radio broadcasters in America – James Dobson.

Obama said this about Dobson:
Sen. Barack Obama said evangelical leader James Dobson was "making stuff up," when he accused the Illinois senator of distorting the Bible and taking a "fruitcake interpretation" of the U.S. Constitution.
"Any notion that I was distorting the Bible in that speech, I think anyone would be hard pressed to make that argument," Obama told reporters on board his press plane Tuesday night. (CNN)
Obama said this in reference to a radio broadcast by Dobson:
Dr. James Dobson responds to a speech made by Barack Obama in which the presidential candidate, while discussing the role of religion in government, compares Dr. Dobson to political activist the Rev. Al Sharpton. Dr. Dobson also updates listeners on the battle to preserve traditional marriage in Arizona, and pays tribute to late broadcast journalist Tim Russert. Joining Dr. Dobson for a discussion of these important issues are Focus on the Family President Jim Daly and Tom Minnery, Focus' Vice President of Public Policy.
"76 percent of the [American] people identify themselves as Christian ... [but Barack Obama is] diminishing the idea that people of Christian faith have anything to say." - Tom Minnery (This is the web page intro of the Broadcast you can listen to by clicking HERE.)
