I would look at what Barack Obama’s policies and practices are, rather than what he may have or may not have mentioned
If your philosophy is to take away from the needy in order to give to the greedy ... that’s anathema to my Christian faith.
there will be be significant efforts on our part to reconnect the fundamentals of our policies to the [religious] teachings that we all learned, be it in the Old Testament or the New Testament.
As we organize going forward to next year
We are in recognition of the fundamental aspect of all of the great religions … love, the golden rule, of doing unto others as you would have be done unto you.
I believe the president’s speech was very appropriate
Do you want to know what's hard? ... Desegregating South Carolina in the 1960s. I met my wife in jail.
I have no idea whether he will or not ... I hold out hope that the president will hold fast.
I’ve kind of given up on big and bold, but I’m never going to give up on balance
