15. Funny, I voted for a President, also.
There's nothing in the rule book (that would be the Constitution of the United States) that talks about the President being Shepherd of the Flock - just commander in chief. Presidents' don't HAVE to give sermons and I do have a problem with it when they do. There's a word for people who have a 'rare talent' for captivating any group, friend or foe, and it's not really a compliment.

Just a hint, by the way - making sure everyone knows you're a card-carrying 'none of the above' and then following it by a 'but . . .' - in this case by not only lauding the religious antics of a politician but suggesting that if a President is NOT religious then they are some sort of Communist (Party Chairmen? REALLY?), is a tactic used by a lot of religious people when they are working to undermine the perspective of people who are not religious. Are you sure you have the right card in your wallet?
