What did he say about Allah?
I hope everyone in the military hears about this. I am outraged!
Give the guy a break.
He spoke from his heart, how in the dickens can anyone expect him to be aware of God from there???
I'm thankful I'm not his supporter.

The White House
From my family to yours, I’d like to wish you a happy Thanksgiving. Like millions of Americans, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I will spend the day eating great food, watching a little football, and reflecting on how truly lucky we truly are.
As Americans, each of us has our own list of things and people to be thankful for. But there are some blessings we all share.
We’re especially grateful for the men and women who defend our country overseas. To all the service members eating Thanksgiving dinner far from your families: the American people are thinking of you today. And when you come home, we intend to make sure that we serve you as well as you’re serving America.
We’re also grateful for the Americans who are taking time out of their holiday to serve in soup kitchens and shelters, making sure their neighbors have a hot meal and a place to stay. This sense of mutual responsibility – the idea that I am my brother’s keeper; that I am my sister’s keeper – has always been a part of what makes our country special. And it’s one of the reasons the Thanksgiving tradition has endured.
The very first Thanksgiving was a celebration of community during a time of great hardship, and we have followed that example ever since. Even when the fate of our union was far from certain – during a Civil War, two World Wars, a Great Depression – Americans drew strength from each other. They had faith that tomorrow would be better than today.
We’re grateful that they did. As we gather around the table, we pause to remember the pilgrims, pioneers, and patriots who helped make this country what it is. They faced impossible odds, and yet somehow, they persevered. Today, it’s our turn.
I know that for many of you, this Thanksgiving is more difficult than most. But no matter how tough things are right now, we still give thanks for that most American of blessings, the chance to determine our own destiny. The problems we face didn’t develop overnight, and we won’t solve them overnight. But we will solve them. All it takes is for each of us to do our part.
With all the partisanship and gridlock here in Washington, it’s easy to wonder if such unity is really possible. But think about what’s happening at this very moment: Americans from all walks of life are coming together as one people, grateful for the blessings of family, community, and country.
If we keep that spirit alive, if we support each other, and look out for each other, and remember that we’re all in this together, then I know that we too will overcome the challenges of our time.
So today, I’m thankful to serve as your President and Commander-and-Chief. I’m thankful that my daughters get to grow up in this great country of ours. And I’m thankful for the chance to do my part, as together, we make tomorrow better than today.
Thanks, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Notice how he only associates thanksgiving to other men giving him another chance, but never thankful to the grace of God.
Well he did mention he was unlike the presidents printed on the greenbacks. In God we trust, in Barry not so much.
But he's got a nice warm spot by the fire. ;-)
Tim Tebow, Michelle Bachmann and Herman Cain all gave thanks to God on Twitter today.

From the most divisive President ever...class against class, race against race, Democrats against Republicans! Yeah, coming together as one people. What a d..d Liar!
Good point.
Maybe he could give us some inside fire chats?
I bet the WH had one of those evil halal Butteterball turkeys...
How to keep sulfer out of your eyes. Dodging pitchforks and cleaning poop from your cloven hooves. The reality show possibilities are endless.
Prez Zippy’s about as inspiring as the plastic bag of stuff I gathered when my dog defecated on the neighbor’s lawn.
The man is a Pathetic looser .
