Tiny insults in Speech and yet respect at sea....?

I don't think Obama saying 'God Bless' is anything disrespectful. He claims to be a Christian and that's what Christians do. I thought it was admirable that Obama reminded everyone he & Bush knew that we're are not and never were at war with Islam, just with the terrorists. I also am happy they followed the tradition in preparing UBL's body in Mulsin tradition. Everyone deserves that and UBL is gone so why not?

I think he said because he feels that is what America wants to hear. He has made several mistakes lately so he is n't being all that careful anymore. Like when he got nasty with the press. I wonder if that will ever blow over. I would sure hate his job. Have to be careful of this and that and oh, don't forget that. Ugh!

He is religious when it benefits him. Sometimes I think he worships himself. He is always the center of attention and anyone who gets too close he moves to the back ground. just look at his acceptance speech when he brought out his family and then moved them off stage while he spoke. He is very willing to talk about what I have done and me, myself and I.

Well if you where to speak Arab and have a Bible Translated into Arabic it would say Allah everywhere you would find God so by him saying God Bless he isn't insulting the Muslim Community anymore than when someone says Allah Akbar is insulting the Christian Community as the translation would be God is Great. So this wasn't all that out of place considering that it would be translated into Arabic for those countries and it would be Allah Ysalmak (Assuming they use the Male form in their news cast.) So no tiny insults just the use of God Bless or Allah Ysalmak. I mean both the Muslim and Christian Ideologies believe in a one all powerful god and they both believe that the Bible is a Holy Book Muslims see the Quran as being the Newest Testament of God Christians don't and well the Jewish aren't that much go a difference between the two other similar Ideologies. They follow the Old Testament as they believe Jesus wasn't the son of God. And neither do the Muslims for that matter (At least from what I can remember).

Since I'm not religious, that kinda stuff doesn't usually strike me as odd. To me, it's just a figure of speech. I've heard "God bless" associated with America all my life, especially when politicians have something important to say.

He is a Christian (although Liberal.) Many people get the false impression that he is pro gay or pro Muslim, when the fact is that he is a sensitive type who does not like to see anybody downtrodden (which is why he is for Democracy in the Arab and Muslim countries. He is for fairness. And although not a Muslim, he does respect Muslims. So the burial at sea is a sign of respect, and knowledge that not burying bin Laden properly would create more problems in a troubled world. Now there's a debate about whether it was the proper thing to do. As for God Bless, it is something that most of us, I notice even atheists, say sometimes. Being a Christian who was brought up in a Christian atmosphere, that is something that he would normally say.
