I have been on the fence about a lot of Obama’s decisions lately, but I still think he a dynamic individual and has been handed a big shit sandwich – and we are only at 70 days! But he impressed me yesterday with this statement, it reminded me that it has been a very long time since a politician said something truthful;
Obama said “one of the great strengths of the United States” is that it does not consider itself “a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values. I think modern Turkey was founded with a similar set of principles.”
And I think Franklin, Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton would agree.
