Fox and Friends this morning talked about our country motto. In God We Trust, they put up an on-line poll to suggest new mottoes or keep this one.” —seemed odd

Doesn't seem odd to me. Fox News is partially owned by the Arabs.

Gretchen, commentator seemed to be mocking it.

The story was a result of a vote in the House.

House Votes to Reaffirm 'In God We Trust' as National Motto

...The resolution required a two-thirds vote to pass, and did so easily, 396 to 9. Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan was the lone Republican voting no, joining eight other Democrats,

the resolution serves to clear up confusion over a speech President Obama gave last year in Jakarta, Indonesia, in which he stated that the motto was instead “E Pluribus Unum,” Latin for “Out of many, one.”

“For the President of the United States to incorrectly state something as foundational as our national motto in another country is unacceptable,” Forbes said. “The President is the primary representative of our nation to the world, and whether mistake or intention, his actions cast aside an integral part of American society.”
