Unfortunately, according to various different polls, it reveals that on average 1 in 5 Americans believe President Barack Obama to be a Muslim, despite the numerous accounts of declaring to America that he is a man of Christian faith.
You can read President Obama's transcript here.
My two favorite portions of his speech are as followed:
"In our own lives it’s easy to be consumed by our daily worries and our daily concerns. And it is even easier at a time when everybody is busy, everybody is stressed, and everybody - our culture is obsessed with wealth and power and celebrity. And often it takes a brush with hardship or tragedy to shake us out of that, to remind us of what matters most...
So my prayer this morning is that we might seek His face not only in those moments, but each and every day; that every day as we go through the hustle and bustle of our lives, whether it’s in Washington or Hollywood or anywhere in between, that we might every so often rise above the here and now, and kneel before the Eternal; that we might remember, Kaye, the fact that those who wait on the Lord will soar on wings like eagles, and they will run and not be weary, and they will walk and not faint."
Amen!
