"Like all of us, my faith journey has had its twists and turns. It hasn't always been a straight line. I have thanked God for the joys of parenthood and Michelle's willingness to put up with me," he said, speaking about his wife.

Obama's speech was personal in nature, as he spoke of how he "came to know Jesus Christ for myself and embrace him as my lord and savior" more than 20 years ago working as a community organizer in Chicago.

Actually, with all the crap that’s going down nowadays (much of it his own doing), it’s probably caused him to acknowledge the Almighty as follows:

“Oh, GOD...get me outts this!!!”

That explains his use of “deepened” as opposed to “heightened.”

"My Christian faith then has been a sustaining force for me over these last few years, all the more so when Michelle and I hear our faith questioned from time to time. "We are reminded that, ultimately, what matters is not what other people say about us, but whether we're being true to our conscience and true to our God." this is later in the article.

I don’t question his Faith claims, I question his motives behind the claims.

For his sake, I hope Barry is telling the truth. He will answer for it, if he is not.

I really, really don't think he will run for a second term.

I'm betting the doctor will write him an excuse.

So, the prayer breakfast was all about him, I take it?

Just cover for the MB/WH connection emerging.

I do not believe he has any religious beliefs outside the American form of socialist/marxist/fascist claptrap that so many on the left hold with such fervor. His profession of Christianity is likely just another pose adopted to give him the proper aura within certain circles and to garner votes.

Addendum to post # 53. He fooled the idiots before with it and he will fool them again.

Yeah, with him there ain’t much fruit but lots of deeds. Major biblical misquotation on my part.
