Is Obama an Atheist? Is he a Muslim? Is he a Christian? It really doesn’t matter. What really matters is that:

  • He believes in the separation of church and state
  • He establishes a new level of ethics for the US.

This country was founded on religious freedom. Not just the right to worship Christ but the right to worship anyone or no-one. This distinction is so important. The day after religion was invented, corruption of religion began and arrogant power-hungry unethical individuals have been trying to use religion for their personal benefit. If these unethical individuals get enough power in political circles, they usually try to marry religion and politics together for their own self-interests.

Religion and Politics seem to have 2 things in common. To get to the top, you have to leave your ethics behind you. That doesn’t mean that the people at the bottom don’t have the highest ethics. All over every world, there are people working at the bottom for the common good. With a few possible exceptions, very few of those people who manage to make it to the top still have the common good at their main focus. If you study the history of England, you will see how time and time again, the Christian religion was used as a tool of government to do unspeakable thing to the common people. The last 8 years of corruption and manipulation in the US (God told Bush to go to War) show that the US is not much better.

Today, we have HOPE. More than anything I HOPE that we will see ethics in government and that Obama is not just another politician advancing his personal agenda. Up to this point, it is unclear. I HOPE he will establish himself as an ethical leader.

I had Hoped for a clear definition that the Democratic Party would establish new standard for ethical governance, instead they voted themselves a 90,000 petty cash raise. They packed the bailout bill with so much pork it seems like this is continuation of the Bush Administration’s fun and games with taxpayer’s money.

Please Mr. Obama, Everyone is looking at you to establish ethical standards for the entire county and the world.

You can go down in history as “first and worst” black president or your can show the world that the US still has some ethics.

I HOPE you can do it or we are all in deep, deep trouble.
