Even before Barack Obama was elected president, religious figures loomed large in his political career.

Chris Williams of PA has it exactly right... we need to reaffirm our commitment to separation of church and state, and stop making such a sorry public spectacle as to the presidents religion, or lack thereof. The only mentions of religion in the U.S. Constitution are the establishment clause and the admonition against a religion test for public office candidates. There is tellingly no mention of the Bible, or Jesus, or Christianity or any other religion in the document, and we should not mistake the intention... that our government is a secular institution, forged to respect the rights of it's citizens to worship any God, or none at all, and the seperation of that government from the meddling of any organized religion. And I, for one, will do everything I can to assure that the intentions of the Founders will be carried out, as it seems to have worked quite well for the last 230 some-odd years.
"Faith Leaders"
I rally can't imagine why any president would need a so-called faith leader, much less a whole bunch of them. I'm serious... does the man also listen to a variety of astrologists, palm readers, witch doctors and mystics to get their input? I think the president and members of congress need to start taking more of their own council, and begin parting ways with all of these advisors, advocates, and lobbyists of every ilk.

Thanks, I love God and I know that were all equal in this Nation.So, we need a leader that"s willing to give and love one another. He has giving me so much in the last month and now its time to give back. He put me where I can provide for the homeless and reach out to anyone.
