I'm going to get attacked for it but...
I don't see anything wrong with his speech. What he said was a 100% accurate view of faith in Christ. If you are a Christian, you are in the family, so to speak (the Bible deals quite a bit about this in the Gospels and Romans). Therefore, the opposite is true as well.
Now, the real question is: Does he use this statement to push his faith on others in via the government? If so, shame on him. Separation of church and state is to ensure that laws are not established to push one religion on unbelievers. That does not bar someone from making statements about their faith, Sapphi. I am sure if the politician was an atheist and made the same claim, you would be okay with it. I'd be okay with it, just as I would with a Muslim, Buhddist, Hindu or Jedi making the same statement. If you get pissed off every time someone says something about God - politician, actor, scientist, or friend, then you really got to mature a bit more, and recognize that people have differences - differences we should be free to debate and discuss as people.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
