Obama IS the president and despite him stating [numerous times] he is a ''devout Christian'', the 'bible thumping right certainly didn't vote for him.  I believe there is a poll out there to prove that one, too.

But, hey, if it makes you feel better to believe Obama's beliefs are more in line with your own..then so be it.  It's really rude to tell people their beliefs are crazy...dontcha think?

 

 Do you still not understand that he is FORCED to say those things or give up his career? If he were to come out and say he wasn't religious, support for him would drop like a stone...he would NEVER get re-elected and would even have trouble elsewhere.

If he didn't play the religious card when going after something like president...well...there would be absolutely no reason to even try... he would be finished before he started. It's either "tell the people what they want to hear" or "goodbye, go home".

Welcome to politics. You are such a trusting person haha.

Ha.

I think youre really a bible belting conservative Christian. Just bc you stated you are not means nothing. Right?

Note: It's as valid as your point above about Obama. 

If I wanted to run for President of the United States because I felt I could do some real good in the world but I knew that being an Agnostic wouldn't get me in office because of the close minded bible thumping right - I would lie and say I was a Christian if it was for the greater good.  Again, not saying this is what Obama has done - I said it was a thought.  Please quit freaking out like I'm saying this is the God's honest truth.. it's a thought and opinion. I'm probably wrong. Forgive me oh brilliant one for sharing a THOUGHT. 

Valid as my point about Obama?  I didn't make a point - I shared a feeling. 

 Currently, that is the ONLY way to become president. You MUST be a christian in the eyes of the public.

Are people seriously saying that they don't believe any president is smart enough to play the religion card just to get more votes?....uuhhh... have people even heard of politics? Everything from the TIE THEY WEAR to the words they use is specially picked and designed to manipulate the public. Religion is a MAJOR issue, which is why they need photo ops at churches and things like that...so the public can "see" they are religious.

Obama seems like a smart fellow. I just don't see him being very religious (if at all). He is smart though, so he would never admit that (it would ruin his career).
