What ever happened to the separation of Church and State!!! If Romney's speech (religious teachings) today to the American public is what we can expect from Romney in the future as the President of the United States and the leader of the country (who will frequently address the public) - who lacks boundaries when it comes to proselytizing the teachings of his faith - Romney's behavior today reassures me he is not the man to lead this country. If he is one who cannot restrain himself from spewing the teachings of his faith, perhaps he is best suited to remain in a religious leadership position for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - The Mormons. Sometimes I cannot help but wonder if Romney received a calling/assignment from the top LDS church leaders to pursue the Presidential nomination after being assigned by the LDS church leaders to secure the Governorship of Massachusetts. I think it is no coincidence that Romney was given the assignment of LDS Bishop by top LDS church leaders after becoming the Governor of Massachusetts - as if he did not already have enough on his plate with the responsibilities as Governor. Was this so he could plant the seed of his Mormon faithful cronies circulating in the Massachusetts government system?
And yet, I remember hearing religious and scriptural references in the speeches of previous presidents following a tragedy. He quoted a verse or two from the Bible. Seemed perfectly appropriate to me given the situation. I also recall hearing many clamor about Romney trying to "hide his religion" yet when he shows it in an appropriate way, people still yell foul. Guess you'll never please everyone.

You're also way messed up on the timeline. Romney was a Bishop in the late 80's not after being Gov. It's also a job given for only about 5 yrs. and after being relieved of duties, there's no longer any authority given that person. With nearly 30,000 bishops serving at any one time and each only serving for about 5 yrs., there are a whole lot of former bishops in the world. It's really not that high of a position.
Interesting how even at a time of national mourning and grief, it's only the democrats on this forum that are being as nasty as possible...that tells a lot about a person's character...or lack thereof. Seriously people try to be a little less self-centered.
The only thing Republicans can unite about is hating Obama and anyone who's not like themselves. Palin drove a wedge between them and they got stuck with Romney... their panties have been twisted in knots ever since then.
Nice of Romney but his actions or reactions are hours behind Obama and without a doubt he was aware. Very s-l-o-w response by Romney on something that should have been instinctive.
