Obama was right, when things don't go right for the American
people, they can get bitter, spirituality is a means to deal
with the unpleasant, bitter anger. There is no reason to attack Obama because he espouses a belief akin to the communist idea that religion is a susceptible to a false panacea for the masses.In my travels throughout the world, humanity hungers for spirituality as means to understand their lives, there is nothing wrong with this drive. It can be a problem, when spirtuality becomes a front to escape the unpredictabilty of human relationships,lack of employment,the evitability of death, political impotence, etc.
