Secularists are wrong when they ask believers to leave their religion at the door before entering into the public square. Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Williams Jennings Bryan, Dorothy Day, Martin Luther King - indeed, the majority of great reformers in American history - were not only motivated by faith, but repeatedly used religious language to argue for their cause. To say that men and women should not inject their "personal morality" into public policy debates is a practical absurdity.
Barack ObamaSteve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it...The world has lost a visionary.

Barack ObamaAll I can say is [kids] have turned out to be terrific young women. We were concerned mostly about whether they'd develop an attitude, right?
Barack ObamaI think that the FDA has not been able to catch some of these things as quickly as I expect them to catch and so weโre going to be doing a complete review of FDA operations. At bare minimum, we should be able to count on our government keeping our kids safe when they eat peanut butter. Thatโs what Sasha eats for lunch. Probably three times a week...
