obama can finish the mission just as good as mccain..just because obama is ahead of mccain in bringing american military troops home doesnt prove that the mission under obama adminstration will be a failure.and it doesnt prove that withdrawl is a destructive stragedy so this fear mungering of troop withdrawing start drawing terrosit to attack is a shadowed fib in attempt to court soldier votes and cause distraction to confuse

This is a careful blend of reality with a big step forward. We are not going to get religions out of social services any time soon, but with Obama, the door is open for secular groups to compete equally for the opportunity to help others.

I think a secular humanist homeless shelter would be a great idea.

I think an educational help program run by the "Brights" would be fabulous.

My expectation is that secular groups can and will provide more and better help than religious groups.

I will not vote for him because of this. I guess it's gonna be Nader.

I am not a religious person, but I had high morales and practice a high standard of goof will. I think the ideas Obama talked about are fair, and can make a difference without being too preachy.

*IF* the plan was to favor one religion over another, it would be against the constitution. That is clearly not the plan. The idea here is that community organizations should not be discriminated against on the basis of religion. That's a good thing! I don't belong to any religion, but I can get behind careful partnership with groups without regard their their religious affiliation, especially when they're not allowed to proselytize or to be religiously choosy about who they help or hire.

You fail to get what Obama meant in that video. He didn't say they were going to get involved in the white house but in making typical communities better.

Although I don't support religious faith, I think this idea is good because it's attempting to make the community better rather then just shoving religious beliefs in peoples face as they had been doing previously.

That is so disrespectful to bring politics into this sad time
