'We are God's partners in matters of life and death' (Obama says)

Politico ^ | 8/19/09 | Ben Smith

[pissant]

A reader points out that President Obama's call with the rabbis today -- as recorded in Rabbi Jack Moline's and other clerics' Twitter feeds -- freights health care reform with a great deal of religious meaning, and veers into the blend of policy and faith that outraged liberals in the last administration.

"We are God's partners in matters of life and death," Obama said, according to Moline (paging Sarah Palin...), quoting from the Rosh Hashanah prayer that says that in the holiday period, it is decided "Who shall live and who shall die."

The president ended the call by wishing the rabbis "shanah tovah," or happy new year -- in reference to the High Holidays a month from now.

I think God will have other plans for the ChumpOTUS!

In Obama’s world, he doesn’t answer to God - God answers to him.

[paulycy]

Maybe his trip to the Vatican went to his head.

"We are God's partners in matters of life and death," Obama said

Partners? That hints at equality. We are not equal with God, because there is only one God.

[brytlea]

Uh, no, I’m on God’s team, but he’s the coach.

[Talisker]

Didn’t he say that the religious aspects of abortion are “beyond his pay grade”?

Yet now, killing millions through denying them healthcare is him “partnering with God”?!

Talk about jumping the shark!!! LOL!

[isthisnickcool]

Unbelievable. No way that was a mistake. Give me a break!

Listen to it here

Sickening!

[freekitty]

So far nothing has worked so he’s going to try and hit God up.

“We are God’s partners in matters of life and death,”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Wrong. We aren’t PARTNERS with God. God is the boss. We are subject to God’s will.

The president ended the call by wishing the rabbis "shanah tovah," or happy new year -- in reference to the High Holidays a month from now.

To which the rabbis replied "and Merry Christmas to you". Guess "shanah tovah" was the only Hebrew Obama's staff could teach him.

It is for presumptuous statements like these that God is going to judge this man harshly. I believe we are only beginning to see what is about to be unleashed. I get the strong impression that it will not be pretty.

(The music was chosen by the company carrying the conference call, not the White House or the RAC.)

However, I wouldn’t put it past them to ask the company to choose that song for the ‘hold music.’

Seriously, can anyone recall ever being on hold to “Deutschland uber Alles?”

[Talisker]

Eyebrows were also raised by the choice of hold music that played to rabbis before the call began. “First mistake,” Moline tweeted, as he waited for the call to begin. “Music on hold is ‘Deutschland uber Alles,’ “ a classical German anthem...”

My God.

Fellini was an amateur.

[pissant]

And neither has a birth certificate

[onedoug]

Damned hypocrite. Damned liar. And likely damned too.

[Talisker]

So was Kafka, for that matter.

[presently no screen name]

We are God’s Satan's partners in matters of life and death,” Obama said. Satan comes to rob, kill and destroy.

He has robbed the USA and put two generations in debt. He supports the killing of the unborn, even world wide w/laws and our money. He is hell bent on destroying the USA and all she stands for.

Barry, we know who 'your god' is.

[GeronL]

Is that a real quote???? no way

"Didn’t he say that the religious aspects of abortion are “beyond his pay grade”?

I knew someone would beat me to it!!

[trisham]

In his mind, Obama is right up there with God. What arrogance!
