I guess we just differ there. A president who refrained from any sort of religious talk in any official setting might be nice, but I see that as a highly unlikely possibility. If someone says "God bless you" to me I am going to take it as a compliment and I'm going to be happy they said it, whether or not I believe in God and whether or not they are the president and allegedly separated from the church when it comes to official affairs (and I don't believe that Obama's Christian beliefs have any bearing on his decisions as president.) Perhaps if his speech had had more Christian themes I might feel differently.
