Obama: I Am My Brother’s Keeper – But Not My Actual Brother
Breitbart ^ | 4/2/12 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 04/02/2012 1:52:12 PM PDT by Nachum

In a campaign speech on Friday in Vermont, as reported by CNSNews.com, President Obama ripped into “you’re-on-your-own-economics” and actually suggested that hard work and personal responsibility were not supreme Biblical values. Instead, he suggested, “Hard work, personal responsibility – those are values. But looking out for one another. That’s a value. The idea that we’re all in this together. I am my brother’s keeper. I am my sister’s keeper. That’s a value.”

Apparently, being his brother’s keeper does not actually mean his brother’s keeper – President Obama’s half-brother lives on less than a dollar per month. “I have seen two of my friends killed,” says George Obama. “I have scars from defending myself with my fists. I am good with my fists.”

Beyond the obvious, Obama’s interpretation of Biblical stories leaves something to be desired. In the story of Cain and Abel, Abel offers a sacrifice and so does Cain; God is pleased with Abel’s and not with Cain’s. In a fit of jealousy, Cain kills Abel. When God asks Cain about it, Cain replies, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

Very good!
‘Duck Dynasty’ is eerily familiar to me only we operate trucks instead of making duck calls. I do actually take care of my brother. If Obama wants me to take care of a brother from another mother, I’d give him a job. Actual
‘earned success’ creates personal wealth beyond what any government could hand out!

He means his black "brothers" and "sisters."

How could he otherwise say that "he's his brother's keeper" with a straight face?

His "people" know what he means...because they also know...along with everybody else... that he treats his real brother like crap.

And he’s starting up with this “brother’s (brothers’) keeper” crap again recently soas to stir the (recently) heated racial pot.

People will be too poor to help out their neighbor in Obomba’s marxist economy.

A study years ago showed liberals don't even tip well. They stiff working single mothers - when those women are supporting families working in restaurants. They only want to give away OTHER people's money.

2 Thessalonians 3:10: “For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.”

Read the Book. We have a Christian duty to help others of our own accord not put in slavery to do it. You can’t force true charity. Nor does the Bible condone being a bum as welfare allows.

Maybe Queen Moochelle can drop Doggie bags from the plane as she flys bye on one of her multi million dollar taxpayer trips she takes every month?

Eventually a few will drop to the kids place in Kenya and he can have a decent meal. I bet her table scraps are more than he eats in a month.
