Bush Making Big Return To White House
Annette Insdorf: The Central Park Five Premieres in Cannes
Whether you celebrate Easter or Passover this weekend, a lot more unites the faiths separates them.
That was President Obama's simple yet important message delivered in his weekly address. ...
Calling for continued cooperation among nations or the world, a theme the president struck off his G20 Summit talks last week, Obama opened up his messaging to include two major religions celebrating their most holy of feast days.
The quest for shared goals such as security, safety and sound economics across borders and across religious lines ought to trump our differences, Obama said.
Is the message a bit Pollyanna? Perhaps. But on the weekend that hundreds of millions of religious observers stop and recall the true meaning of their faith, what other message could be as timely?

I love how he respects all people and that he is realistic about what needs to happen to turn this economy around. He did not put us in this mess but is willing to do what is neccesary to heal a broken nation. We make our own money and we have money that is laid up for the futre but this is our future. God will never let us down but if we stop being greedy and look at our spending habits also we can manage our own economy and spend only what is needed. Do what ever it takes we are survivors.

He hasn't attended church since he took office. I guess he'll be doing three time a year like the rest of you folks.
