Entry #1

Barack Obama's speech was very well done and straight from the heart. His outlooks on how faith and politics have a very strong connection is very interesting. His outlook of how our government is acting as well as being run needs to change in order to better our country. he states that these changes can't just happen. It needs to be a change in the heart and minds of our government. The idea that church's are doing so much with the little that they have to help as many people as possible is astonishing. They are feeding the hungry and clothing the homeless, yet our government is barely doing anything to help these people. Another large point he makes is that no matter what religion someone follows or even if they don't follow one at all, that we should all still be abel to coincide together in everyday life with no problems. We have to many problems having to do with people fighting over faith and what one believes compared to another. Obama believes that if we can all come together while still fallowing our own faiths but at the same time being on the same page as one another than we can fix a lot of problems. Another large aspect that he thinks more people need to look at is how the separation of church and state has played a critical role in many aspects of our government and our societies. He also states that if we were ever to expel all of the non-christians in the United States than which direction of faith would be go. There are many times of christianity and we need some non-christians in order to keep the balance in our societies. Throughout his whole speech he seems to be speaking from the heart. Not just saying what he thinks people want to hear which shows a lot about his ideas. He wants to show them exactly how he feels and hopefully this will show people how they should start to view the church and faith when it comes to our government.
