I laughed when I read this! Like Bill Clinton before him, he uses the Bible to cherry-pick phrases he can use to bolster his Liberal ideas. Neither one shows any genuine love for, or obedience to, the Word of God.

That’s about as good a spin as you can put on it. “Resonance” with the Bible.

The author’s resonance reminds me of the imaginary “penumbras” and “emanantions” of the Constitution that the Supreme Court held required the deaths of millions of babies. I’m sure Justice White would have used the word “resonance” along with the other two had he thought to include it also in Griswold v. Connecticut (the case just before Roe v. Wade that created the right to privacy out of thin air).

He would have done better to have quoted Jim Croce . . .

You don't tug on superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim

Didn’t the Goron quote John 3:16 and call it John 16:3? don’t remember the context but these Amoral libs step in it whenever they shoot for the high ground and quote scripture, something the know nothing about or live by. God is not amused and will not be mocked by heathens.

The Washington Compost correcting the feckless fool on the hill on the Bible? Why did they not do that when he was at “Reverend” Wright's church in Chicago? Guess it was not the right time then was it? Fools, absolute, manipulative, useful idiot fools.

“Strictly speaking, one of the lines he cited appears nowhere in scripture. ... Obama completely “made up” a line of Bible verse out of “narcissism” in order to drive home a point about his stance on immigration, it should be noted that the sentiment behind the “glass houses” idiom is quite clearly found in the Bible.”

Is there ANY lie or idiocy by Obama that WaPo won’t write an entire article defending? Can you imagine the attacks by WaPo on a Pub Prez that fabricated phrases from the Bible?

‘ clinging to our religion’, to use his phrase.

""The good book says, don't throw stones in glass houses,"

This represents his confused thinking getting stoned in a car with rolled up windows.

Glass was a precious material in Egypt; and even in times of Roman Empire it remained such. Glass was used mostly for jewelry (such as beads,) and no common person in his right mind would even think that a house could be built from glass. Such an analogy would be a likely anachronism if present in the Bible.

Glass making took off much later, in Middle ages, which places it at least a thousand years later than biblical times. First flat sheets of glass, small and not very smooth, were produced by blowing a piece of glass into a sphere or a cylinder, and then cutting it up and rolling with a pin into flat pieces. That glass went into best houses, which included some churches where everyone could see it. That glass was very expensive. From that point on glass became known not just as a material for bottles, but as an architectural material - and that's when the earliest references to the proverb start appearing.

Naturally, "the smartest man in the room" cannot be expected to know the most basic facts of history of western civilization, or know what the island of Murano is famous for.

Right. It is straight out of Alinsky. Make your opponent adhere to their standards.

Stoner line. Straight out of Cheech and Chong.

Clinton? Oh, yeah, he was the Bible scholar who told us that Jesus’ parents were homeless.

"The good book says

Funny how he always refers to that OTHER religion's text as "THE HOLY KORAN" but never his "own" religion's text as "THE HOLY BIBLE".

“Good Book”? Maybe he was referring to the Koran? The Dear Leader can get so confused without his teleprompter.
