2008 ELECTIONS: Dem. Sen. Barack Obama run for President 'in his own words'

Wise Voters need to start sifting through the tweaks and hypes of all the rhetorics of political candidates to have a clear idea of who the best candidate is for their vote and to vote in the 2008 election with conviction and peace of mind.

This blog will continue to post information from other front running candidates for President in the 2008 elections.

Here are answers to questions about Democratic Senator Barack Obama in his own words and found at: http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/obama.htm

Here excerpt with Senator Obama's own thoughts on religion and Christian religion tradition:

In terms of actual beliefs, Obama told Falsini that he has a deep faith "...rooted in the Christian tradition." He added, "I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people, that there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and that there’s an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived." He said his mother "...was a deeply spiritual person and would spend a lot of time talking about values and give me books about the world’s religions and talk to me about them. Her view always was that underlying these religions was a common set of beliefs about how you treat other people and how you aspire to act, not just for yourself but also for the greater good." He also told Falsini, "Alongside my own deep personal faith, I am a follower, as well, of our civic religion. I am a big believer in the separation of church and state. I am a big believer in our constitutional structure."
