Mr. President more at home with "eye-for-an-eye"

I am getting tired of hearing about Mr. President and his relationship with God and religion. But, reading the AP report titled Obama tells questioner he's 'Christian by choice', I noticed he said:

"So I came to my Christian faith later in life, and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead - being my brothers' and sisters' keeper, treating others as they would treat me," he continued.

emphasis mine

That sounds more like the good old an eye for an eye we know than the Golden Rule.

Interesting.
