Three "duets" with Barack Obama

[lwcon]

Barack Obama: "I just want all of you to pray that I can be an instrument of God...."

Justice David Souter: "Government should not prefer one religion to another, or religion to irreligion."


Barack Obama: "I think its important particularly for those of us in the Democratic party to not cede values and faith to any one party."

George Will: "100% of the American electorate are values voters; they vote their values... And this, this, kind of semantic imperialism that they have where they say 'we vote values.' Everyone else votes what?"


Barack Obama: "I am confident that we can create a Kingdom right here on Earth"

Arthur: "I am your king!"
Woman: "Well, I didn't vote for you."

Obama told the audience that people ask him, “‘What role does faith play?’ I say, ‘It plays every role.’”

And...

“My job is to try to draw a connection between the values that I express to the church and the challenges and issues that we face in politics.”

As Jamie Raskin once said:

“Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You didn’t place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible.”
