In an interview with the Washington National Cathedral magazine, President Obama discussed how his faith influenced his politics saying that at the end of the day 'God is in control.'
First and foremost, my Christian faith gives me a perspective and security that I dont think I would have otherwise: that I am loved. That, at the end of the day, God is in control," Obama said.
Obama also tied faith in God to his belief in a compassionate role for government.

Oh puh-leeze....
This guy and his family do not go to church regularly...
When they did, it was in Rev. Wright’s blasphemous church.
The man is a poseur and a liar....

Yep, all the way to obama’s “trial” out there away from the confines of time. “Let me give a shout out first to my peeps before I blame you for everything God. Your in control so you know that anyway, someone have any whites lines out there!?”

Well, I have all my papers, including the Bible I received from the Church on the day of my confirmation. I suspect if I was ever given such, I would cherish them as well. But they are not required for me to be a Christian.

Obama also tied faith in God to his belief in a compassionate role for government. I cannot be forced to tithe to his religious obligations.
I put my faith in a HIGHER power than government, Mister BO.

Looks like somewhat is running for office.
Course the evidence that Obama is a practicing Christian (ahem golf on most Sunday's no attending of church services)to my way of looking at is somewhat lacking.
And I am not even going to mention Wright.

Too bad BO is not an actor in Hollywood. He gives academy award winning performances. God knows what’s in his heart and that’s all that matters. God sees how He is being mocked for political gain.

FALSANI:
Have you always been a Christian?
OBAMA:
I was raised more by my mother and my mother was Christian
He did not answer the question.
To: ColdOne
I don't believe one word out of his mouth. Why hide the symbols for Jesus Christ at the podium at Georgetown then Obama? I have not forgotten that.

A pro-abortion, pro-homosexual Christian. Uh huh. Must be an election approaching.
To: ColdOne
Using “my Christian faith” as a phrase is a dead giveaway. We speak of ourselves as being “Christians” or by declaring that “CHRIST is our savior”. While some may use the phrase "my Christian faith"... it is seldom heard by me... and the man that said it also told stephanopolis “my muslim faith”. There is a pattern... I see it clearly.

By the way, just what Christian denomination is he? Catholic, Protestant?? Still BS no matter how you slice it.
