Obama Works to Redefine Role of Faith in First 100 Days

We are a people of a particular book and of a particular faith and of a particular Truth. The diametrically opposed core values of the religious groups aforementioned prohibits them all from being mutually absolute in their truths. This clash is inevitable and must occur so long as the walk of men and women is toward the way of absolute Truth. Should we make peace with a life void of resolve and absolve ourselves of any notion of the existence of an absolute and a moral law then we can in the fullest extent follow the teaching of Obama. Mrs. Tyler, would seem you stand for nothing absolute and subsequently in your writings it is predominantly evident that you will also fall for anything. - Dr. Steele

President Obama BREAK BARRIERS and FORGE CIRCLES!
A Healthy Pandemic Global Community Team of Religions is being born! His invitation to serve All Peoples through Faith Based Communities by joining hands/hearts/minds will heal our world. Joining hands/hearts in peace and putting aside weapons and attitudes of destruction is the new PANDEMIC Hope for our Global Family. The outreached hand of President Obama and circle of respect will do best to extend to include all religious bodies that desire Peace, from Muslim to Christian to Buddhist to Shinto and far beyond. BREAK BARRIERS and FORGE CIRCLES!

I get a kick out of the BS in the first message. This president knows what he is doing, hands or no hands left. I guess some people want to sound like they support new ways and then end up giving themselves away....cool it Obama is doing well, how many of us do everything in the first 100 days? I know in parish work it takes a year or more to get your feet on the ground, think of what it must take in this position. Peace ko shin Bob Hanson

Obama's continuance of the faith based program, and his hedging on rescinding the Bush Gag order to Family Planning shows his sincerity in trying to garner support from the Republicans.
Unfortunately, it proves Hilary was correct in that Obama is naive to think the Republicans have any desire whatsoever to work with him for the good of America.
The only work the Republicans (the party of NO) are doing is working to destroy him, along with the middle class, for the glory of the United States of Corporations.
My prediction early on was that Obama would reach out to the right-wing, and draw back a political bloody nub. I am being proved right! Unfortunately, he hasn't learned from the experience. He's still reaching out, and getting bitten again by Fox News and the right-wing echo machine for the effort.
