LLS
The closer leftist gets to election day the more god appears in their lexicon!!
Every morning I pray that God would deliver America from the evil that afflicts us in the person of Obama, his Administration and his laws and policies. I pray that God would strike them all down and replace them with Godly men and women and that we once again would be a nation under God.
Yep... it must really grate him not to being paying homage to himself.
