Santorum: Obama Hostile To Religion

ne day after saying the separation of church and state "makes me want to throw up," Rick Santorum told a Michigan audience that he supports the division of the two institutions. During a Sunday interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, Santorum gave his take on the issue

"I don't believe in an America where the separation of church and state are absolute," he told 'This Week' host George Stephanopoulos. "The idea that the church can have no influence or no involvement in the operation of the state is absolutely antithetical to the objectives and vision of our country ... to say that people of faith have no role in the public square? You bet that makes me want to throw up."

Question: GOP candidate Rick Santorum claims President Obama has oppressed religious freedom. What do you think?
