Obama's Faith-Based Presidency: 'Help the Needy, Walk With God'
By David Gibson - Politics DailyPresident Obama delivered an intense reflection on his Christian faith Thursday, telling hundreds gathered at the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington how religion sustains him amid the trials of the office -- and against attacks on his faith -- and providing both an explanation and a defense of how Christianity informs his view of the bitterly contested role of government in society.

By David Gibson - Politics DailyGuess who's coming to breakfast? The breakfast in question would be the high-profile National Prayer Breakfast set for Feb. 4 at the Washington Hilton ballroom. And the guessing game concerns David Bahati, the Ugandan MP with close ties to the conservative Christian politicos who sponsor the annual breakfast -- and who have been cited as inspiration's for Bahati's notorious Anti-Homosexuality Bill, a.k.a. the "Kill the Gays Bill" because of its draconian criminal penalties on homosexual acts, including life imprisonment and the death penalty. "I intend to attend the prayer breakfast," Bahati ...
