Pres Obama addresses 2011 National Prayer Breakfast

President Barack Obama addresses the National Prayer Breakfast in DC on February 3rd, 2011. It is one of the most clear enunciations to date of his "faith journey", invoking scripture with consummate ease. Mark Halperin (Time) posited the speech as an example of how Obama will be tough to beat in '12: no Republican, according to Halperin, is communicating with this level of political sophistication...www.thenewtasman.com

Oh give me a rest. By the logic that anyone who denies being a Muslim is a Muslim, that makes all of us Muslin. Dumbest thing I have ever read.

@sharon33ist The reason that Israel is a rich nation is because America borrows money from China and gives it to Israel so that Israel can build new settlements and give their citizens the health care that Americans cannot afford to have.

I am a born again Christian and i believe President Obama is a Christian. I have heard the Tea Party LIe and, yell and try to stop and stop everything that President Obama hads tried to do. Not very Christian more Coroprate power ran. Helping the poor is not socialist. it is Christian. Look at Israel, they are a Parlimentary Democracy, they have a good Healthcare system, Gov. ran for all. Based on Biblical principals: the rich are to share with the poor, clothes, food , shelter. in Isaiah. .

Obama "says" he is a christian, however Muslims are permitted to lie to unbelievers of their faith!

Muslims are permitted to lie: (1) to save their lives, (2) to reconcile a husband and wife, (3) to persuade a woman into a bedroom and (4) to facilitate one on his journey. Muslims are even permitted to disavow Islam and Mohammed if it is not a genuine heart-felt rejection. Muslims will tell you that concealment of a truth is not an abandonment of that truth if it benefits Islam.

This speech proves that the church and the State are not separate in USA.I wonder if US could ever have a Jew/ Buddhist/ Hundu/ Islamic president. USA and rest of Western world means the same things as Islamic states say when they talk about democracy. It means Christian democracy and Islamic democracy. It never means democracy free of religious context. It is not Democracy of Dawkins thus it is still an incomplete democracy.

"Jesus is too colossal for the pen of phrasemongers" Einstein.

Still he had far more concern for the poor and hungry than anything else save for soul saving.

@ivlfounder Those one liners just dont do the Gospel justice I prefer We are not justified by works but faith without works is dead and giving your possessions to the poor infact is not benefiscial to the poor because they are temporal That statement was given to a rich man who was blinded by his richest as all rich men are and giving them away would show the work of the Holy Spirit so God would receive the glory just as when a leper is healed from his leprosy
