WASHINGTON (AP) — President Obama on Thursday said he relies on his faith and values to guide his work on the nation’s most urgent problems, including the economy.
Mr. Obama said that as a Christian, he believes in the teaching that to whom much is given, much is required.
That belief, and his reliance on economic good sense, is behind his policies — including his call for the wealthy to pay more taxes, Mr. Obama said.
The president urged other leaders to not abandon their values or “the moral glue” that has guided the nation for centuries.
Mr. Obama spoke at the annual National Prayer Breakfast.
