God, Democrats and Obama

It didn’t very long at all for Barack Obama to play the religion card-as he actively courts evangelicals.

Obama, reports Reuters, dropped in on a community ministry in a very conservative corner of Ohio where he said he would take a more active approach to faith-based social programs.

“The fact is, the challenges we face today,” Obama is quoted as saying, “from saving our planet to ending poverty, are simply too big for government to solve alone. We need an all-hands- on- deck approach.”

Perhaps, but haven’t we had enough already of politicians who say and think they are doing God’s work? Why not let God do his or her thing and everyone else can just get on with it?

“I came to see my faith as being both a personal commitment to Christ and a commitment to my community, ” Obama said, talking about his days as a Chicago community organizer. ”

To be perfectly fair, John McCain is playing the same game –trying to get the backing of various evangelical groups.

According to Reuters, “most polls show McCain beating Obama by 3-1 or more among evangelicals.
