Barack Obama Quotes:
Ocupation: 44th U.S. President
Life: b. August 4, 1961
Birthday: August 4
At some fundamental level, religion does not allow for compromise. It insists on the impossible. If God has spoken, then followers are expected to live up to God's edicts, regardless of the consequences. To base one's life on such uncompromising commitment may be sublime; to base our policy making on such commitments would be a dangerous thing.
