I think it’s important for us to guard against cynicism and not buy the idea that the poor will always be with us and there’s nothing we can do, because there’s a lot we can do. The question is, do we have the political will, the communal will to do something about it.”

Ummm, Grand Savior and Poohbah Obama? I don't meant to quibble, and have my family taken away again, buuuut...

Since we divide the population into quintiles to define who is rich and who is poor, there will always BE a "bottom quintile", because we have defined it so. However, the quality of life for our bottom quintile has increased exponentially since the Welfare State, errr, I mean the Great Society, began. Our tenth percentile person (ie, 90 percent of Americans have more, 10 percent have less) now has the same quality of life (AC/heat, fridge, car, quality of residence, cell phone, DVR, microwave, etc) as the fiftieth or higher) percentile person (the average/median person) in nations like Israel, Italy, Brazil, Portugal and Russia. Our fifth percentile person (ie, 95 percent of Americans have more) still lives better than 68 percent of the world (and at about the same standard as the 95th percentile person in India and Mexico. Our poor are the only poor in the history of the planet to have OBESITY as their #1 health issue.

Just sayin... maybe capitalism ain't so bad... Dear Leader... All hail...

The Judeo-Christian version:
“For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.”

The Obama version:
“For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I am seizing your assets because I have opened thine hand wide unto my welfare class brothers, my black poor, and to my un-documented needy, and I shall force them into thy neighborhood.

He insulted Jesus. Aren’t we supposed to kill him for this?

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.”

Yes, we have one in the White House. What struck me was his public declaration that he (Obama) knows better than Jesus. I think we have definitely crossed a line here. I sure other presidents have thought it but I can’t remember ever an American president making such a public statement.

“Then King Obama sent to gather the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image that King Obama had set up. Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces gathered for the dedication of the image that King Obama had set up. And they stood before the image that Obama had set up. And the herald proclaimed aloud, ‘You are commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages, that when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, every kind of music, and the news caster from ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and CNN, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that King Obama has set up. And whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace.’”

The lessons don’t change. When you won’t fall down to someone’s idol, they heat their furnace 7 times hotter.

The words of GOD HIMSELF are not part of 0bama's islamic faith, nor are they part of his communist faith.

Socialism is idolatry.

Further points: of those who fall below the line that we set (and keep moving) as our "poverty level"... 74 percent own a vehicle. 33 percent have 2 or more vehicles. 60 percent have a washer/dryer set. 64 percent have 2 or more TVs. These are things that even kings and emperors could not dream of having just 130 years ago.

14.6 percent of Americans were below the declared "poverty line" in 2014. It was 14.1 percent in 1966. Since then, in 49 years, it has not reached 16 percent, nor has it dipped below 11 percent. (It was 23 percent in 1958. It dipped to 11.3 for a moment in 2000. It hit 15.3 percent in 1983... but again, the line keeps getting moved.)

The US "poverty line" was set at $14,218 for a 2-person household (and basically jumps up $3800 per person for larger households).
The global per capita income in 2012 was $10,587 by nominal GDP (but $15,147 by PPP).

110 nations, out of 190, had per capita incomes (the average person) of $7,109 or less ($14,218 divided by the 2-person US household) in 2012
51 nations, out of 190, had a per capita income over the $14,218 in 2012.
Only 28 nations, out of 190 in the list, had per capita incomes over $28,456 (double the US poverty line for a 2-person household) in 2012

Yes, AN anti-Christ if not specifically THE anti-Christ. I remember a speech of his from very early on, where he emphasized that there was no such thing individual salvation, only “collective salvation.” As if the Word wasn’t born of the flesh to redeem each of us in the most intimate and personal of relationships. Made my stomach turn and gives me the willies to this day.

There will always be a stratum of poor among us. Some deserving of our assistance. And others deserving of their own assistance. The Bible says there are none so poor as they who will not so much as lift the spoon to their own mouth. (Proverbs 19:24) (my paraphrase) Government welfare programs, being unable to distinguish the deserving poor from the undeserving, pervert charity and increase poverty. Obama lies when he says we blame the poor for middle class stagnation. We blame him. The poor as well as the middle class are victims of progressive socialism. They have transformed being poor from having less money into having no family, living in anarchy, and being without hope of a better tomorrow.

Fantastic post and worth repeating!

Somebody tell this traitor to buy a $200,000 house in a suburb instead of a mansion on an estate when he leaves office. Then give the rest of the millions to the poor. Put your money where your mouth is, you piece of crap commie trash. You go first.

When Jesus said that “the poor you will always have with you,” he wasn’t making an economic or sociological prediction—certainly not one intended to DISCOURAGE us from helping the poor. He was answering a specific statement by Judas: “This ointment could have been sold and the money given to the poor.”

Jesus was saying: “That’s not a good argument against doing something to honor and comfort me in preparation for my death.”

Most of all God does not want you or me to go to Hell (See John 3:16) for without Him we are all Hell-bound. Satan succeeded in outwitting man in the garden and as a result, man forfeited his lofty position as overseer of the earth and surrendering his soul, and everyone elses soul, to Satan. From that time till now, man's soul has been impoverished and the consequince, an impoverished landscape around him.

But God can use that physically impoverished landscape to reveal the poverty of a man's soul. So if we as human society make it our duty to eradicate poverty without addressing the poverty of the soul, we achieve nothing, and may in fact be working against God's design. And certainly not everyman wishes to address the poverty of their soul, therefore what Jesus said is true, we will alway have the poor among us... we help the poor in Jesus name, not in the name of govermnet programs, which enslave.

He and many of his followers name him god.

Obama’s communist/black racist liberation theology is anti-Christ. It was designed to be that way by the communists/satanists. It irks him that all Christians have not been converted to his god of coveting, scapegoating and tribal hate.
