I missed it due to a seminar I found out about last night. I've only caught a few bits here and there on the news. I'm going to watch the full speech.

Now if we can just get all of those religions to coexists...

That will take a bit more time, but Obama is starting us on that path.

I haven't seen the entire speech yet, so I didn't catch the science part. Very cool! I'm loving Obama more and more everyday.

Someone speak out loud that there are a lot of beliefs. Not saying anything is better than the other... I hope that basic belief makes this country stronger considering that is pretty much what is was founded on...

I was glad he included us non-believers...when he started to say "a nation of christians and muslims" etc., I was kind of thinking we wouldn't get any mention ^_^
