In reaction to the Jewish community center shooting in Kansas City, President Obama offered condolences and support for the families who lost their loved ones. At the annual Easter prayer breakfast spoke to religious leaders and said, " Nobody should have to worry about their security when gathering with their fellow believes. No one should ever have to fear for their safety when they go to pray. And as a government, we're going to provide whatever assistance is needed to support the investigation." Obama expressed his support for all religious leaders and other leaders to keep in mind the struggle to "combat the ignorance and intolerance, including anti-Semitism, that can lead to hatred and violence."
This article has a little to do with public policy and the President's beliefs, though these beliefs are not very political because I think the freedom of religion is something that is held up by most Americans, especially people working to uphold the Constitution like President Obama.
