How Obama's 'Cling to Guns and Religion' Remarks Got on the Web
Kit Seelye in the New York Times and Pajamas Media correspondent Bill Bradley (the California political writer, not the former New Jersey senator) fill us in on how the story got on the pro-Obama Huffington Post. It seems that Arianna Huffington approved it by cellphone while on David Geffen's 454-foot yacht in Tahiti. No, I'm not making this up.

Sorry. Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.

Clinging isn't healthy
I don't believe Obama has any problem with religion per se, but rather the way some Americans use religion. I agree with him on this. Many Americans are afraid of change, and they retreat to the safety net of religion. While religion may have it's place in daily life, there is a seperation of church and state. We must not let religion dictate policy.
Obama is simply saying that fear clouds our judgement. Don't look to God for all the answers, and don't run out and buy handguns because you're afraid. Use your head.
Thanks for interpreting "cling to religion"
OBAMA's statement is nearly identical to that statement made by the famous dictator KARL MARX, who said so famously: "RELIGION IS THE OPIUM OF THE MASSES"
Obviously, Obama was talking of the masses--NOT of just a couple of super-public figures--Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson! REaders BEWARE: be watchful of how others on this website twist things around.
