Another chapter in the story of President-elect Barack Obama was written last night, and snippets are emerging about that section regarding the role faith played in that chapter.

Will political reporters get it?

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., does not seem to be running for president in 2008. That doesn't mean he will not do so, just that he is not laying the necessary framework to make a run at the Democratic nomination. He's certainly soaking up the praise and good favor of his ...

The status of religion in politics

2006-06-30 20:03:01

Did a Democratic version of Mike Gerson start working for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.? I ask the question because his speech earlier this week at the Call to Renewal conference is about the best attempt to articulate the struggling movement known as the "religious left." Not that it was that ...

Clinton praying with Republicans

Who would have thunk it? Sen.

But according to The Washington Post's Alan Cooperman, the organization's ...

We still don't know Obama

2006-12-16 11:06:02

We've been snatching up the hints, eating up the intimations and listening to mesmerizing speeches, but we are all still waiting for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. -- the latest Next Big Thing in the 2008 presidential race -- to tell us what he believes. No, not his position on the ...

Religion uncovered on the gridiron

2007-01-23 01:00:24

Anyone watching the aftermath of Sunday night's amazing AFC Championship game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots couldn't help but be struck by the religious overtones in the language. Everyone, that is, except for the media, which seem to have so far ignored the religious elements of ...

Filling in that Obama faith timeline

2007-01-30 10:03:48
