    Great timing for Obama to say stuff like this before Holy Week and during Passover. Way to go!

    LOL, if there were any group of people that wouldn't care, it's gonna be the Euros. They think we are a bunch of religous idiots. Him telling them that we are not a Christian nation was probably the best thing that he could have told them. The best thing about it, is that it is true!

    He asked the Nato nations to send in EQUAL amount of troops the US was committing 21000 to be exact. They agreed to 3000 personnel (not soliders) on short-term deployments. An Additional 1,400 to 2,000 will provide for training Afghan's national army

    He asked Europe to contribute as much as the US did but the German Chancellor threatened to walk out if he even mentioned the thought. $1trillion dollars from the G20 is far short of what HE wanted.

    Obama FAILED!

    It's not the Euros , but the Americans back home that cares - you know, the crazy Christians here that make up the majority of this country.

    The United States is NOT a Christian Nation.

    Again, outstanding world debut for the Obamas -- very impressive start to finish.

    Seriously? As a Christian I am elated that Obama made this clear. I'm tired of hearing, "But but but we are a CHRISTIAN NATION!" as an excuse to withhold rights from certain people.

    Maybe more Christians will realize that this is NOT a Christian nation but a nation filled with MANY religions and creeds - none more important than another. Maybe some Christians will stop equating fervid Christian religiosity with American patriotism.

    Anyway, do you have any idea how important it was that Obama made a good first impression? Plus, can't you appreciate that Obama was simply being very polite (perhaps slightly overly so) towards the Saudi King, and not twist it into 'pro-Saudi groveling'.

    Can you point to any piece of the methodology that is not credible?

    Polls aren't credible. They are just opinions. One opinion vs another. One poll vs another poll.

    Polls aren't opinions. Do you even understand the science behind polling?

    Sample sizes, the way those samples are selected, and the precise wording of questions can all influence the outcome of a poll. In the end, it's an opinion based on the pollster.
