If I can prolong the agony... What I read into Obama's words was an attempt to regain some control over the issue. It's one of those terms that was highjacked by the Right. He seemed to be trying to say he respects separation in the legal sense, but that much of who we are springs from faith-- not just the Far Right kind who have cornered a nasty market on it, but acknowledging that much of what we do, the choices we make, is informed by it. Even though I am not religious, I understand that I was raised in a strong Judeo-Christian environment with those values. Hopefully, he doesn't mean the prayer in schools, Ten Commandments in public buildings kind of superficial crap, but the regaining of our commitment to others and a general good. It may have been a bit too nuanced. That said, I am NOT in favor of universal health care at this time, and he has a ways to go for my vote on that.
