President Barack Obama issued an Easter address Saturday urging people of all faiths, along with nonbelievers, to embrace their common aspirations and "shared spirit of humanity."
Obama used his weekly radio and Internet address to touch lightly on some of his administration's top priorities: expanding health coverage, creating jobs and improving education. But his comments were more spiritual than political in tone.
"On this Easter weekend," he said, "let us hold fast to those aspirations we hold in common as brothers and sisters, as members of the same family the family of man."
Obama noted that Jewish families recently celebrated Passover, and on Sunday, "my family will join other Christians all over the world in marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ."
He also embraced a broader, more ecumenical audience. "While we worship in different ways," the president said, "we also remember the shared spirit of humanity that inhabits us all Jews and Christians, Muslims and Hindus, believers and nonbelievers alike."

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” I wonder if Obama has ever heard that verse. [Seriously, he may not have considering his background.]
Now that he shoved healthcare down our throats, w all need to come together.
I don’t think so.
Obama is a parrot puppet. I just keep wondering who and how many are pulling the strings. His mouth flops open and shut with mindless drivel oozing out and all the while this man delusionally thinks himself wise. What a nightmare.
He is not a christian but rather an anti-christian ideologue.
Multiculturalism is a tool used by liberal-fascists speaking words of “tolerance”
Stupid and demonstrates Barry is not a Christian
“....godD#%@, America..it’s in the B i B l e!!!”
—Obama’s sick twisted minister
(I’m’ still can’t seem to find this in the bible)
He has no idea what it is to be a Christian.
I guess I'm supposed to invite some Muslim family for some Honey-Smokes Ham?
Of all holidays...this one is Christian specific. Muslims are anti-christians. He was raised Muslim so Me thinks he protests too much.
Easter is when my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ rose from the grave to give everyone a second chance at life. I cannot stand when people try to make it about anything else other than that.
Even if he really is an atheist, I bet he will claim that he was a closet Muslim in an autobiography AFTER he leaves office. BHO’s ego is big enough that he will want to claim he was the first president that was both BLACK and MUSLIM.
“On this Easter weekend,” he said, “let us hold fast to those aspirations we hold in common as brothers and sisters, as members of the same family the family of man.”
Did he get this from his mentor Jeremiah Wright?
I aint your brother you commie rat.
So he and his family will “mark the resurrection”?
Psssttt...Barack...Christians CELEBRATE the resurrection- not “mark” it.
It’s like he’s going to note it in passing.
I know I’m nit-picking. But where’s the joy, Mr. President? Where’s the joy?
