I give him credit simply because this is progress. As far as I know, the last time a president before Obama mentioned us, it wasn't in a favorable light.

You're right, though. I would like to see him work on real separation of church and state and he hasn't really worked on that. His mentioning us in a favorable light is a step in the right direction but, damn, keep fucking going in that direction! Don't stop where you are!
