5. "The Audacity of Hope" is Obama's political manifesto
And he spends a great deal of time talking about his spirituality. If I were a gambling man I'd say that much of what he wrote in that book on the subject of faith is total crap. I just highly doubt that a grown man who was raised without religion just all of a sudden finds god like Obama did. More likely than not he knew he was going to go into politics some day and that unfortunately in this country you have to be religious in order to be taken seriously in politics.

That probably doesn't make anything better from your perspectives and I know some people here will flame me for calling Obama a liar but I just seriously doubt that the man is nearly as religious as he portrays himself to be. Obama is a politician and politicians lie. Obama lies remarkably less than most politicians, though, and thus I take what I can get.
