Mr. O quoting "Jesus"

I don't know about you folks but I found it quite shocking to hear our president evoking the word of God today. I felt attacked as well for my Christian faith due to the way his speech was portrayed. Simplifying the word of God in the sense that he used it particularly for his means to increase taxes on the wealthy. He looked like the Faye's trying to get money from church members which I found to be very disgusting. Also, Mr. Obama has been saying his faith leads him everyday when he starts his day with a little prayer, which I hope is true. What bothered me most about his speech today was how he used a teleprompter to recite a simple Bible verse. He looked completely uncomfortable. Jesus was not a Socialist or in Mitts case, Lucifer's brother. Maybe Obama lite could explain his beliefs on that subject.

I guess it's not enough that he used the National Prayer Breakfast to make a campaign speech, now he's even using Christ as a campaign prop akin to Warren Buffet's secretary. Funny I don't recall reading the 'tax the rich' narrative in either the Old or New Testament. If you'll recall the Stephanopolous interview when the topic of faith was raised Obama said to GS "you mean my Muslim faith?" which caused an assuredly panicked Stephanopolous to whisper "Christian faith, Christian faith". "Oh yeah, right, my Christian faith". This would tend to explain his being unfamiliar or seemingly uncomfortable quoting the Bible. I think what he liked most about Jeremiah Wright's church was Wright's radical-left racist politics; the rest was just window-dressing. Personally I care much less whether the man is Christian or Muslim; what I find really abhorrent is that he is prostituting the Almighty to get himself re-elected. Imagine the outcry from the left if either Gingrich or Romney were to say that God is on their side! And if he's such a man of 'faith' as he now claims and really starts each day with a prayer I would suggest he say one for the innocent babies that survive the abortionists' butchery; yes those very same ones that he VOTED to be left unattended on a medical tray to DIE. The gall of this man is nothing short of astonishing. As for 'what would Jesus do' I don't much care because I wouldn't vote for him for POTUS. And as for taxing the rich, or anyone for that matter, let us recall Ben Franklin who so wisely said "it would be considered a hard government indeed that would tax its people one-tenth part".

My thoughts exactly"B". I was wondering if anyone else noticed. Jesus also would not approve of a 40% tax on anyone. What make me laugh the most is when the liberals talk about fair share and I believe that amounts of money not percentages are the real number that should be considered as well. I have never ever seen anyone ride the poll wagon like I have seen our President do. It is sickening,

Well as far as 'riding the poll wagon' is concerned, it would be a horse race between Obama and Clinton. On taxation, it's funny that whenever I ask a liberal what their idea of 'fair share' is, they NEVER have an answer. Never! One particular dimwit I work with has a "Tax the rich 90%" sticker on his locker. I would like to see, if he should ever become eligible, how fast that sticker comes off.

Exactly my thoughts again 'B". The attitude is tax everyone except me. if you take all the money from the rich and gave it to the poor in five years the rich would again be rich and the poor would still be poor.

Right. I once asked another 'fair share' dimwit at work (yes I work with a mess of 'em) if HE himself wants to pay a higher rate. Needless to say he wouldn't answer but I kept pressing the issue and finally he said no. Then I asked "so how then do you justify, morally and/or ethically, exhorting Congress to raise taxes on this one and that one but NOT ON YOU"? Again, needless to say, no answer. He's also a big AFL-CIO guy, which explains MUCH.
