variation on a theme ...

obama's "we are no longer a christian nation ...We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation and a nation of non-believers."

is a variation of the Jesse Jackson "Rainbow" nation.

for jackson the rainbow was color and race : blacks, whites, latinos, orientals

for obama the rainbow is religion. just like bush: religion!

beware of preachers in the coffers and corridors of power!

The bush people along with the extremists that have taken over our nation are pushing the "Christian nation" theme. Obama's comment was a counter that we are diverse.
