I won't say who I voted for in the last election, but I will say that I expect politicians and other leaders to be consistent in their words and actions.

Both George W. Bush and Obama largely passed this test of integrity, and I respect them both, although I do not agree with every policy of either administration.

As a Christian, one important consideration for me in 2008 was comparing John McCain's and President Obama's marriages.  Which person modeled a more Christlike attitude toward his own family?

A conflicting issue was that of abortion.  They are occasionally necessary, but feel uncomfortable allowing them in many situations.

So although I don't agree with everything our President stands for, I believe he is doing the right thing by withdrawing our troops from Iraq.  I believe this attitude embraces the principle expressed in 1 Peter 2:13-14.
