Evolution doesn't require faith. Faith is confidence or trust in a person, thing, deity, or in the doctrines or teachings of a religion. It is also belief that is not based on proof. - Dictionary.com But theory of evolution. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of knowledge that has been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. - National Academy of Sciences.

Is there room for god in the theory of evolution?

No. If one believes in god(s) one has stepped outside the remit of science. Methodological naturalism is the concept science must adhere to in the erection of theory. Supernatural forces can not be supported by the evidence and are not subject to falsification. If you wish to believe in god, do so, but deistic evolution has not one scintilla of evidence to support it.

What is Barack Obama's view on teaching evolution?

"I'm a Christian, and I believe in parents being able to provide children with religious instruction without interference from the state. But I also believe our schools are there to teach worldly knowledge and science. I believe in evolution, and I believe there's a difference between science and faith. That doesn't make faith any less important than science. It just means they're two different things. And I think it's a mistake to try to cloud the teaching of science with theories that frankly don't hold up to scientific inquiry." - Obama "It's not 'faith' if you are absolutely certain," Obama said, noting that he didn't believe his lack of "faith" would hurt him a national election. "Evolution is more grounded in my experience than angels." - http://blogs.physicstoday.org/politics08/2008/01/barack_obama_on_teaching_evolu.html
