25. Yep. And I think it's true no matter what he says
to get elected. An atheist won't get elected POTUS anytime in the near future and BO IS a politician. His job ONE is to get elected.

As with a lot of professing religious people, IMO, he's torn between the original teachings of Jesus (as they've come down to us)with it's radical social justice agenda and the "religion" of capitalism. But IF we can force him to see that the country has changed and is MORE leftist than at any time since the 70s, then he's pragmatic enough to go along. At least, I THINK I'm reading him right. I don't think he believes that the country has shifted that far left........YET. So it's ALL speculation on all sides at this point.
