The quarterback of the Central Intelligence Agency says he doesn't want his agency to be a pawn in a game of political football; it's too late, Democrats have been tackling the CIA for months and President Obama is not willing to toss a penalty flag.

It's difficult to say which is more troubling, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi playing a game of CYA at the expense of the CIA, or President Obama's continued support as she calls members of the intelligence agency liars.  Either way, Republicans say it's time for Nancy Pelosi to put up or shut up, after she apologizes of course.

The primary mission of the CIA is "to collect, evaluate, and disseminate foreign intelligence to assist the president and senior US government policymakers in making decisions relating to the national security."

 President Obama marks his first 100 days in office Wednesday.  This landmark day is viewed as a gauge of presidential success. While Democrats speak of Obama's performance as a shining success, I see that bright light as an oncoming train.

Candidate Obama did promise change, unfortunately Americans have gotten it.  The leader of the most powerful nation in the world embarked on a world apology tour, released secret CIA interrogation memos, and repeatedly chummed up with Hugo Chavez and other world leaders critical of the United States.  This makes America look weak and threatens our national security.

With a 62% approval rating, it's clear that many don't realize we have a superstar and not a statesman for president.  A statesman would be more concerned with American interests than backslapping our foreign enemies.

What better time than Holy Week to be reminded that church-going Christians are alive and well and Christianity is worth defending.  The current Newsweek cover story is yet another liberal example that the “devil’s in the details,” or should I say, “the distortion of the details?”

The article, “The End of Christian America,” highlights a small detail found “buried” in the 2009 American Religious Identification Survey.  Newsweek Editor Jon Meacham focused on the fact that the percentage of Americans claiming no religion has nearly doubled since 1990; more specifically, the percentage of unaffiliated has shifted from the Pacific Northwest to the Northeast.  His expert goes on to say “the historic foundation of America’s religious culture was cracking.”

I don’t see that.  I look at the survey and see the percentage of Christians in America at 76 percent, that’s three out of every four people.  It shows changes in the number of worshipers in certain religions and shifts in areas of the country.  That’s because those people move and evolve, not because we’re seeing the end of Christian America.

The article does point out the fact that, “while the percentage of Christians may be shrinking, rumors of the death of Christianity are greatly exaggerated.”  This is quickly followed with a NEWSWEEK Poll which shows that fewer people now think of the United States as “Christian nation” than did so when George W. Bush was president.

Just because President Obama made history in his inaugural speech by acknowledging not only “Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus” but non-believers as well, doesn’t mean believers are the 8-track tape of society. We are a nation of Christians whether the liberal media wants to admit it or not.

We are a nation with a Christian leader, aren’t we?  President Obama says he has become a man of faith.  In his “Call to Renewal Keynote Address” in June of 2006, he spoke of his father being an atheist, his mother growing up with a healthy skepticism of organized religion.  President Obama said “as a consequence, so did I.”

Obama says he later heard the spirit and “was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity United Church of Christ on 95th Street in the Southside of Chicago one day and affirm my Christian faith.”

Of course he left that church last year amid controversy over the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s inflammatory rhetoric and his damning America from the pulpit.

As Fox News’ Bill Sammon has pointed out, President Obama has not attended church services on any of the 11 Sundays since he took office.   The director of the White House office on faith-based initiatives tells Sammon, the Obamas “will choose a church home at a time that is best for their family.”
I’m sure they will, and I’m sure any church will welcome them open arms.  Because that’s what Christians do.

The rock group REM sang about “Losing My Religion,” and in the end realized it was just a dream.  Wake up Christian-critics, you’re dreaming if you think Christianity is feasting on its last supper.
