The separation of church and state is a source of strength, but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being.
Public confidence in the integrity of the Government is indispensable to faith in democracy; and when we lose faith in the system, we have lost faith in everything we fight and spend for.
Obama offers himself as a catalyst by which disenchanted Americans can overcome two decades of vicious partisanship, energize our democracy, and restore faith in government.
US is a very religious country. Separation of church and state is part of our credo, but that it is hard to understand since our money says "In God we trust" and every President says "God bless America".
For the first time in a long time, our leaders in Washington understand what Americans of all religious backgrounds have long held to be true: through faith, all things are possible.
Erosion of faith and trust in government - that is the real problem that confronts us.
Millennials don't believe that government is the most effective in solving problems, and that lack of faith in big government is an opportunity for Republicans to win over millennials.

With Richard Splett, he's like the only character on 'Veep' that has no angle. He's guileless. He also believes in the power of government.
