I watched that democratic rally thingyamijig. I think I heard the word God almost as much as the word America.

So he's admitting the "hyphenation" of America that his left-wing brethren have embraced and encouraged is disconcerting. Good for him.djphetal wrote:

Aside from all the politicking, one-upping and general "Blah-Blah-Blah" of pre-election tomfoolery, Obama has said quite a few things that have really stuck with me.
This is my favorite.
He's right... completely. The world is shrinking, and will shrink even more. It's time to realize that, without a dictatorship, America can't be the Christian nation that it both claims to be, and claims not to be. Theocratic philosophy will do nothing but further our ignorance.

I'd be willing to bed my savings that at least one (and probably more than a few) of the western world's "christian" leaders are only "christian" because they know they wouldn't get voted for if they weren't. So yeah... I think we've had a few atheistic presidents. More than a few.m3thod wrote:
