Best, you are a very intelligent woman. Does it not raise a red flag that the only person that agrees with you on this is Bill Gray? A man that thinks this country should be ran under Christian law?
I don't deny that there are probably Democrats that use religion to get what they want politically. This story about the First Lady is not an example of that.
-----------------
A red flag because a forum of democrats don't agree with me? She is in a church pushing the democratic agenda. She is telling that church the way this government should be run, WWJD in other words. She is politicking, pandering, preaching to the choir, AND also telling them that even if the obama's don't set foot in a church that much they are still good godbots. She is using religion and for the last time, had it been a republican we'd see one of contendah's threads of outrage and all of you jumping in to scream about him being there using god to gather votes, which is exactly what she is doing-that and trying to get them stirred up and on the streets to make sure others vote for obama because THAT is WJWD.

On Bush:
While the president has avoided claiming that God is on the side of the U.S. in the war on terrorism and the war in Iraq, he has often portrayed it as a battle of "good versus evil." In "Plan of Attack," a book about war decision-making, author Bob Woodward quotes the president as saying, "I'm surely not going to justify the war based on God." But he also told Woodward that he prayed "for the strength to do the Lord's will."
Although the president often openly discusses his faith and his aides say he is guided by his beliefs and by prayer; he has not spoken publicly on his personal views on many of the age-old questions about biblical writings. In a 2000 interview with the website Beliefnet.com, He said, "I am not all that comfortable describing my faith because in the political world there are a lot of people who say, 'Vote for me, I'm more religious than my opponent and those kind of folks make me a little nervous."
