He is a politician.
He says what he thinks his audience will respond to.
He also said he'd close Guantanamo & bring the troops straight home. How's that going?
We all hoped he'd be different but he's no different than the rest.
Did you hope? I didn't. Only a fool puts his hopes in men. Politicians have been lying ever since any form of democracy ever reared it's ugly head thousands of years ago. Ancient Greece, particularly Athens was a democracy, how well did that go? Ancient Rome adopted the same system until Caesars took power, they fared no better. Democracy always leads to dictatorship and then ruin, it may take several centuries but it will happen.
The only one i want ruling over me is the King of kings, because no one can do the job better than he, and he won't lie to you and tell you what you want to hear and then let you down. The minute teachers started changing songs that were dedicated to Christ and rededicated them Obama (and he accepted this worship) i was dead set against him. He is a liar and a fraud and no christian would dare accept Christ's glory and worship or allow himself to be referred to as the "messiah".

You apparently forget he was first raised Muslim. Then he was a member of Liberation Theology. Then he makes fun of the Bible. Now he is trying to convince people Jesus made him do it. Talk about flip flopping. Everything he says and everything he does is nothing but lip service to the stupid masses. Or so they think. Some of the masses maybe be stupid but not as dumb as they wish.

Oops, yeah that is how it sounded...and may have been applied if you justify what he states.
What he states though is not accurate and I stand by my statement that God haters who dont know what they are talking about will agree with him.
My comments are not to be taken offensively, just a simple statement.
I'm not so much justifying what he is saying as I am his right to say it. If that makes me an God hater, than so be it.edit on 2-2-2012 by Inquisitive1 because: (no reason given)

Yeah, high hopes dashed.

Sad to think that Christians in the US feel they belong to their country or their country is Christian.
Christians are members of the church and the church is made up of many nationalities and has only one official homeland.
Strangers in a strange land.

and then we'd tell them to shove Sharia up their ass
just because someone wants something doesn't mean a damn thing and America isn't exactly a bastion of Islam in any form...I think we'll be ok.

Not really seeing any mocking here, just more drivel from small minded people imaging things. What I see is the President pointing out that there are people in this country that try to use the bible as the basis to inform our policies and laws. People who embrace not granting full and equal access to the same legal protections as others. Because the Bible says so but then completely ignore entire passages in their daily lives as if they should not apply despite being a few passages over from the one they like to use to exert control over someone else. Then when you point this out they say well it doesn't apply to them.
He is right, he isn't mocking the belief he is pointing out their own inconsistency in their belief.

Obama and all the other "presidents" are luciferians. They play the church card when its convenient for them.
Its like the borg or the sith in how TPTB and thier puppets are completely detached from empathy or positive unselfish human emotion.edit on 3-2-2012 by John_Rodger_Cornman because: (no reason given)
