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.

He really needs to stop listening to those subliminal recordings that repeat “I am The One” while he sleeps.
This is just too creepy. To say the least.
What the hell does he mean by that???
“God’s partners”?
Does he think of himself as the fourth person of the Trinity? Or, more likely, as the Mahdi?
I think he’s going to kill us all at Christmas
“I’m not God, but I am the freakin’ President of the United States”.
Oh Lord.
Yeah, he only got it partly right. I just noticed in a focussed way that the left’s concern with matters of life and death are always on the “death” side of the matter.
“We are God’s partners in matters of life and death,” Obama said... ping
Well, there you have it.
Well there’s no shortage of blood on his hands, if that’s what he means.
Richard Pryor had a tape years ago about an old man who he used to visit after driving a tractor up to Peoria from Mississippi. Pryor said: This old man could lie...damn he could lie. I think it was his job, because that is all he did or words to that effect. I think he was talking about our President.
what an A-hole
One thing he doesn’t realize is that God expects us to stand up and defend ourselves. Get use to it.
Can a Jewish FReeper explain this in context? Just so we know how far out of whack BamBam took it.
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, the lyrics to which in part say, “Preserve and protect our Kaiser, our land.”
(The music was chosen by the company carrying the conference call, not the White House or the RAC.)

I’m looking for more.
Obviously Obummer is talking above his pay grade again.
