Reply #5: Yet I'm sure the folks that hold religion dear and vote Dem, appreciated it

[justiceischeap]

I'm about as anti-religion as one can get but politics is all about compromise and pandering and as I just wrote in another thread, this was a political moment last night, not just a healing speech. President Obama had to touch ALL of his potential voters 'cause he is gearing up to run for reelection and it couldn't come at a better time.

I agree, as a taxpayer, I too would prefer my elected officials leave religion out of politics but that boat sailed long ago. So now I just tune that shit out--I really tried to listen to Neapolitan (I know that's not really her last name) but at some point my hearing started turning down and before I knew it, the President of the University was back on introducing Holder and as soon as he started reading from the Bible, next thing I knew the President of the University was introducing the President. Funny how that works.
