'We are God's partners in matters of life and death' (Obama says)

Politico ^ | 8/19/09 | Ben Smith

[pissant]

A reader points out that President Obama's call with the rabbis today -- as recorded in Rabbi Jack Moline's and other clerics' Twitter feeds -- freights health care reform with a great deal of religious meaning, and veers into the blend of policy and faith that outraged liberals in the last administration.

"We are God's partners in matters of life and death," Obama said, according to Moline (paging Sarah Palin...), quoting from the Rosh Hashanah prayer that says that in the holiday period, it is decided "Who shall live and who shall die."

The president ended the call by wishing the rabbis "shanah tovah," or happy new year -- in reference to the High Holidays a month from now.

[pissant]

Let us know, Obama, when God contacts you and assigns you the position. Until then, shut your trap.

'We are God's partners in matters of life and death' (Obama says)

Well, Obama's 4-time vote on BAIPA certainly confirms his partnership with death.

[Kieri]

He really needs to stop listening to those subliminal recordings that repeat “I am The One” while he sleeps.

This is just too creepy. To say the least.

[NonValueAdded]

What the hell does he mean by that???

[Cicero]

“God’s partners”?

Does he think of himself as the fourth person of the Trinity? Or, more likely, as the Mahdi?

[paulycy]

This is true on so many levels...

[1000 silverlings]

I think he’s going to kill us all at Christmas

[marron]

“I’m not God, but I am the freakin’ President of the United States”.

[GoCards]

Oh Lord.

[mrsmel]

Yeah, he only got it partly right. I just noticed in a focussed way that the left’s concern with matters of life and death are always on the “death” side of the matter.

[green pastures]

“We are God’s partners in matters of life and death,” Obama said... ping

Well, there you have it.

[maggief]

[LearsFool]

Well there’s no shortage of blood on his hands, if that’s what he means.

[RVN Airplane Driver]

If bull shitte was music, zero would be a one man band!

Richard Pryor had a tape years ago about an old man who he used to visit after driving a tractor up to Peoria from Mississippi. Pryor said: This old man could lie...damn he could lie. I think it was his job, because that is all he did or words to that effect. I think he was talking about our President.

[DesertRhino]

what an A-hole

[RC2]

One thing he doesn’t realize is that God expects us to stand up and defend ourselves. Get use to it.

[workerbee]

from the Rosh Hashanah prayer that says that in the holiday period, it is decided "Who shall live and who shall die."

Can a Jewish FReeper explain this in context? Just so we know how far out of whack BamBam took it.

[Shermy]

Eyebrows were also raised by the choice of hold music that played to rabbis before the call began.

“First mistake,” Moline tweeted, as he waited for the call to begin. “Music on hold is ‘Deutschland uber Alles,’ “ a classical German anthem, the lyrics to which in part say, “Preserve and protect our Kaiser, our land.”

(The music was chosen by the company carrying the conference call, not the White House or the RAC.)

I’m looking for more.

[OB1kNOb]

Obviously Obummer is talking above his pay grade again.

[albie]

I think God will have other plans for the ChumpOTUS!

[reagan_fanatic]

In Obama’s world, he doesn’t answer to God - God answers to him.

[paulycy]

Maybe his trip to the Vatican went to his head.

[savedbygrace]

"We are God's partners in matters of life and death," Obama said

Partners? That hints at equality. We are not equal with God, because there is only one God.

[brytlea]

Uh, no, I’m on God’s team, but he’s the coach.

[Talisker]

Didn’t he say that the religious aspects of abortion are “beyond his pay grade”?

Yet now, killing millions through denying them healthcare is him “partnering with God”?!

Talk about jumping the shark!!! LOL!

[isthisnickcool]

Unbelievable. No way that was a mistake. Give me a break!

Listen to it here

Sickening!

[freekitty]

So far nothing has worked so he’s going to try and hit God up.

[Brookhaven]

“We are God’s partners in matters of life and death,”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Wrong. We aren’t PARTNERS with God. God is the boss. We are subject to God’s will.

[keepitreal]

The president ended the call by wishing the rabbis "shanah tovah," or happy new year -- in reference to the High Holidays a month from now.

To which the rabbis replied "and Merry Christmas to you". Guess "shanah tovah" was the only Hebrew Obama's staff could teach him.

[DarthVader]

It is for presumptuous statements like these that God is going to judge this man harshly. I believe we are only beginning to see what is about to be unleashed. I get the strong impression that it will not be pretty.

[green pastures]

(The music was chosen by the company carrying the conference call, not the White House or the RAC.)

However, I wouldn’t put it past them to ask the company to choose that song for the ‘hold music.’

Seriously, can anyone recall ever being on hold to “Deutschland uber Alles?”

[Talisker]

Eyebrows were also raised by the choice of hold music that played to rabbis before the call began. “First mistake,” Moline tweeted, as he waited for the call to begin. “Music on hold is ‘Deutschland uber Alles,’ “ a classical German anthem...”

My God.

Fellini was an amateur.

[pissant]

And neither has a birth certificate

[onedoug]

Damned hypocrite. Damned liar. And likely damned too.

[Talisker]

So was Kafka, for that matter.

[presently no screen name]

We are God’s Satan's partners in matters of life and death,” Obama said. Satan comes to rob, kill and destroy.

He has robbed the USA and put two generations in debt. He supports the killing of the unborn, even world wide w/laws and our money. He is hell bent on destroying the USA and all she stands for.

Barry, we know who 'your god' is.

[GeronL]

Is that a real quote???? no way

[Joe 6-pack]

"Didn’t he say that the religious aspects of abortion are “beyond his pay grade”?

I knew someone would beat me to it!!

[trisham]

In his mind, Obama is right up there with God. What arrogance!

[razorback-bert]

Odumbo went of the telepromter again.

[Talisker]

I knew someone would beat me to it!!

LOL! Actually, OB1kNOb trumped us both in post #20.

[Brookhaven]

Deutchland Uber Allies as the on hold music?

That’s not a mistake, that’s a message. That song is so tightly bound to the NAZIs that it is never played anymore.

Imagine if Robert Byrd (former Klan member) used “Dixie” as the on hold music for a phone meeting of african americans? Everyone would know it wasn’t an accident.

Either Obama arranged it to send a message, or a miracle occured and God is trying to send a warning to these rabbis.

Accident? No.

[Joe 6-pack]

His arrogance is matched only by his hypocrisy.

[khnyny]

[Shermy]

By the way,

Is there really such a prayer saying “partners?”

I am seeing things about God and a Book of Life, but not “partners” as in decision making.

[ari-freedom]

I don't think he can wait that long

[Talisker]

His arrogance is matched only by his hypocrisy.

Indeed. Evaluating him is like watching the Soviets fighting the Nazis and trying to decide who to root for.

[1000 silverlings]

it’s craziness, wonder if it was some kind of threat?

[ari-freedom]

only G-d decides who will live and who will die. We’re not partners in this. this is a very scary thing for obama to say...
