So, what started as an evening where I expected most of my attention to be on whether or not Barack would be able to respond adequately to the things he said in San Francisco turned into an evening in which I marveled at how Hillary (who is obviously a religious person) is not walking the walk of her religious principles when she interacts with people in the context of political policy making and when she's on the campaign trail.

And in an election season where the people want a break from the political system of the past - a break that will require the mobilizing of people from all sides of the political spectrum by a president who balances being both humble and wise - we, the voters, have been given a unique opportunity to see that Barack Obama brings a more complete, emotionally mature, and balanced set of skills - in this case based on his religious beliefs - to the table. He admits when he makes a mistake, knows and talks about how he isn't perfect (and is supported in remembering that by his wife), and practices the art of listening to people with different points of view so they will all work towards achieving progress together (skills I believe he developed as a community organizer). And he works very hard to campaign on a positive, constructive note.

When it comes to walking the walk of using faith-based human relationship principles when designing and implementing political policy - as well as when campaigning for public office - Barack Obama is more faithful to his religious principles than Hillary Clinton.
