My Dad use to say that a persons actions speak louder than their words but most of the time you have to go on their word first.
My thought is that alot of people may not have agreed with some (or all) of what the President has said or done but,If people were to be truthful they'd have to admit that via the internet there's been alot of mis-information about him (as well as Mitt during the campaign).
Every religion and the members of that religion have their own perceptions of God.It's always amazed me how so many religions feel that theire is the one true religion and others just don't quite measure up.
All of that being said,I don't believe that my opinion of the man would be that of a non-believer after reading his own words.
"I think I have an ongoing conversation with God. Throughout the day I***8217;m constantly asking myself questions about what I***8217;m doing, why I am doing it."
(Barack Obama, April 2004)
At the point of his decision to accept Christ, Obama says, "what was intellectual and what was emotional joined, and the belief in the redemptive power of Jesus Christ, that he died for our sins, that through him we could achieve eternal life***8212;but also that, through good works we could find order and meaning here on Earth and transcend our limits and our flaws and our foibles***8212;I found that powerful."
