Heh. Good one, Ted!
The Prez is the perfect secular Christo-squishy sort of guy. Doesn’t attend church, doesn’t think a child in the womb is a person with a right to life, has ‘evolved’ on what the culture should sanction as a valid marriage. A squish.
VERY squishy
FALSANI: What do you believe?
OBAMA: I am a Christian.
So, I have a deep faith. So I draw from the Christian faith.
On the other hand, I was born in Hawaii where obviously there are a lot of Eastern influences.
I lived in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, between the ages of six and 10.
My father was from Kenya, and although he was probably most accurately labeled an agnostic, his father was Muslim.
And I’d say, probably, intellectually I’ve drawn as much from Judaism as any other faith.
So, I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.
