Very well said.

...Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific values ... It means that their proposals be subject to argument and amenable to reason... At some fundamental level, religion does not allow for compromise; it is the art of the impossible. Now to base one's life to such uncompromising principles may be sublime, but to base our policy-making on such commitments will be a dangerous thing...

- President Barack Obama

He mocks....and does not understand the Sermon on the Mount. This is political opportunism, irreverent. He is a Universalist all right. He will lead according to HIS religion.

Exactly what needed to be said to Americans. The US has been in the hands of Religious Nuts too long.

Excellent!
Has he not been assassinated yet by some religious nut?!!!

he is a religion

Really? How so?

Sorry, but Obama has done nothing in the manner of rituals or rites, and no one is performing regular rituals or rites toward him, so he is completely disqualified as a religion.
