Who was Tocqueville?
He wrote: "The religious atmosphere of the country was the first thing that struck me on arrival in the United States." (p. 295 of Lawrence-Mayer ed.) See relevant data.
In June 2006, Barack Obama gave an important speech on religion in politics. See prepared text here.

He has a very different tone in this speech than his more recent speeches as President. He seems to have more of a drawl, I'm reminded of Jesse Jackson Jr. He's probably had a lot of work done on his accent since his first campaign.
