Also of interest (to skeptics?) is this Newsweek cover story on Obama and his religious history:
Finding His Faith
Here's a short excerpt:
The story of Obama's religious journey is a uniquely American tale. It's one of a seeker, an intellectually curious young man trying to cobble together a religious identity out of myriad influences. Always drawn to life's Big Questions, Obama embarked on a spiritual quest in which he tried to reconcile his rational side with his yearning for transcendence.Personally, I think the guy is a little bit of a frummie but what do I know.

Hmmm, so why is he wearing a yarmulke? out of respect? is it me, or does it seem like he is really trying to get the Jewish vote?
Of course he is trying to get the Jewish vote. But he isn't doing anything different than anyone else
"But he isn't doing anything different than anyone else"
So what should he be doing?
Hmmm... personally, I feel the clip is a little embarrassing. What a mess! It's like Woody Allen Judaism or something.

He's a frummie, but he's no fundie. Obama is acutely aware that religion might not only be bullshit, but may actually stand in the way of progress.
Note the line today in the Berlin speech (200,000 strong): We have to tear down the walls that separate Christian, and Muslim, and Jew.
amen to that!
