Below is a rather lengthy video of Barack Obama speaking regarding the role of faith and politics in America. While there may be pieces you'll probably disagree with, I find it hard to argue the fact that we as followers of Christ should seek to engage in our communities rather than draw a line that disregards their values. He offers a reasoned approach to faith and life, to religion and politics.
There may be those who wish to vilify me for saying this, but I'm leaning toward Obama in November. He seems to feel the tension between Republican ideals of faith and Democratic ideals of action. The tension that followers of Christ feel between expressing truth and walking in love.
Regardless of where you are leaning, I think it's worth a watch.
