I don't know one President that has never say God Bless America and I didn't get any Christian overtones in that speech.

It's not about christian overtones. The reason those are in there is just because they are popular american slogans for an american president to say, and people get boners when the President says them.
It's not whether there are overtones, its whether or not its time to get rid of these outdated figures of speech and have a little bit more respect for the fact that not everyone in the USA believes in God or believes that the USA is a nation under him, or believes that if there is a God he might give a flying ****.
