Barack Obama lets his faith show
By: Carol E. Lee December 28, 2010 04:28 AM EST
HONOLULU — President Obama’s trip to church Sunday followed a steady rebirth over the past three months in public expressions of his Christianity.
Obama has publicly mentioned his “Christian faith” more times in the past three months than he has over the past year. He has more frequently cited passages of the Bible, including repeated references to the spirit of Genesis 4:9 — “I am my brother’s keeper; I am my sister’s keeper” — which was a mainstay of Obama’s 2010 campaign stump speech. And he’s taken his family to church twice, a shift for a president who has preferred to worship privately since the end of the 2008 campaign.
“He presents his Christianity as an important aspect of his identity but one he doesn’t want to foist upon anyone else, and he would rather risk downplaying it than offending somebody,” said Jeffrey Siker, a theology professor at Loyola Marymount University, who has studied Obama’s use of the Bible in his speeches.
“One recurring phrase — and I’ve noticed this frequently of late — this notion that we are our brothers’ keepers, which is kind of a mantra for him,” Siker added, noting that Obama “would see the notion of being our brother’s keeper as something that crosses all religious lines.”
Obama has used the reference, which was a regular feature of his on the 2008 campaign trail, in two dozen speeches since September. Before then, he’d used it just four times as president. References to his “Christian faith” also have appeared more times in Obama’s speeches since September than they did before.

EXACTLY! And pro abortion barry doesn’t know that but Christians do.
No serious Christian would legislate for the killing of nascent human life.
Wake me up when he takes the instructions and then is baptized in a Christian church. Then maybe I'll believe he's a true believer.
Zzzzzzzzzzz..........

If that is what Obama really thinks of the American people, then we can only hope we escape his brotherly affections.
I detect the contempt for the American people every time obama speaks. kinda like a trigger for me since i read his book where he considered working in the private sector ‘behind enemy lines’
>> the media pretends to believe him,
Yeah, and now they’re espousing the virtues of Christianity.
Something’s up.
Oh gag me with a collection plate.
Obama gets the quote wrong, he repeatedly mentions his religion, and the press is ga ga because he’s “not trying to force his religion on anyone.” Anyone think Sarah Palin would get the same treatment?
“I am my brother’s keeper”
I don’t have any problem with that. Where we differ is that I don’t think he should have the opportunity to require me to be his brother’s keeper. I’ve got enough of my own brothers.
The spirit of lies, working overtime. This clown must have got in line early for the mark of the obamabeast.
"I'm just an innocent little snake, Eve."
Just like Clinton was a pretend Christian also. He walked out of a funeral seervice for someone - I think was guy he had killed in Bosnia - walked out of church and began laughing at a joke, when he saw repoters across the street became real solumn real fast.
Can you say, "Hypocrite?"
I knew you could.
Campaign mode.
Pretty much says it all.
I think Obama read the same Bible that Willie Nelson read when he did his comically anti-Bible snip for “We are the World”. The Bible of “I think it’s in the Bible somewhere”, the one that has that verse about “God helps those who help themselves” in it... Yeah, that Bible.
This is what he REALLY thinks about the Bible...
and “We are no longer a Christian Nation...” he ends up bashing the Bible.

Also take note, and remind people, that he NEVER refers to the Bible as the “HOly Bible” - but he ALWAYS refers to the Koran, not at the Koran - but the “HOLY Koran”
And let no one forget that his first speech as president was IN EYGPT! (Celebrating their mutual Islamic victory?) He quotes sacred Islamic passages that only Muslims are allowed to - he relates the wild story about the midnight ride of Mohammed and expresses his belief and reverence of it.

I wondered if someone would pick up on that BS from Bush.
Oh well. I repeat: What “Christian” issues a racist and phony message like this....
