While I am sure this is a very touchy subject for Barrack to give a speech on... especially given his audience, I think this speech is pretty well done. The basic summary of this speech is it seems to almost be Obama's response to a comment that an opposing politician made. This man, Alan Keyes, first attacked Barrack's faith and finalized the disrespect with "Jesus Christ would not vote for Barrack Obama".
While I'm sure this was not the first insult Barrack had received, it was one that hit home for sure. The speech goes on to elaborate on the fact that while Barrack has his own faith, it is not up to him to decide what people should believe in, but simply his job to ensure that they have the right to believe in it. This is something I especially appreciate due to the fact that while I consider myself more of a student of religion, I would most closely attribute my beliefs to those of the Buddhist religion, which is not even one of the more common religions in America.
