Now, pay attention you atheists.

Your man believes in God. (unless the remark was for political gain with the audience)

The non-Christian Obama supporters have always known that. The President being a religious person is not an issue unto itself. Next!

What if Bush had done it???

If Bush had simply voiced this, and not had a reputation for saying things that stated he felt that his ideology should be everyone else's, rather than a personal opinion, I would not have had a problem with it.

As I've stated before, being an openly religious person is not the same thing as advocating that everyone else should be legally bound to the same ideas.

As an example:

I'm a Wiccan in Texas. While TX Governor, Bush stated that he personally believed that witchcraft was not a religion and that it should not be practiced on military bases. If he'd filed legislation to that effect, that would be a problem. But a personal opinion, that's his business whether or not I agreed with it.

So you wouldn't have had a problem with Bush asking religions leaders to push legislation he was trying to pass to their congregations?

God's 'partners'? He has no 'partners'. Servants, ministers, followers, heirs, laborers, fruit-bears, disciples, etc....but no 'partners'. (sigh)
