(Washington) - President Barack Obama, when speaking at the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast and Conference Thursday, quoted the Bible to make a case that passing immigration reform is a “moral imperative.”......
In making his case that immigration reform is morally imperative, the president quoted the Book of Deuteronomy – comparing illegal immigrants to the Jews in Egypt.
“Immigration reform is a moral imperative, and so it’s worth seeking greater understanding from our faith,” said Obama. “As it is written in the Book of Deuteronomy [10:19], ‘Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.’ To me, that verse is a call to show empathy to our brothers and our sisters; to try and recognize ourselves in one another.
“It’s especially important that we try to do that when it comes to immigration – because this is a subject that can expose raw feelings and feed our fears of change. It can be tempting to think that those coming to America today are somehow different from us,” he continued, “and we need to not have amnesia about how we populated this country.”
“What this verse reminds us to do is to look at that migrant farmer and see our own grandfather disembarking at Ellis Island, or Angel Island in San Francisco Bay; and to look at that young mother, newly arrived in this country, and see our own grandmothers leaving Italy or Ireland or Eastern Europe in search of something better,” he further said......

Satan too knows all Scripture as well as demons, seems we Christians tend to be the most deficient when it comes to Scripture.
Obama recites scripture? Did he talk about Judas?
Judas went to the chief priests and offered to betray Jesus, for which he was paid the sum of 30 pieces of silver.

Mr President, read this scripture to all the illegals entering this country....
Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
Rom 13:2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
Rom 13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.
Rom 13:4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to [execute] wrath on him who practices evil.
How comes this liar, non Christian didn’t burst into flames for his blasphemy?
There is no comparison between the Jews in Egypt, and people crossing into the United States illegally. The Deuteronomy passage has nothing to do with illegal immigration. And to say that illegal aliens are the same as those passing through Ellis Island is terrible. Has this man no sense of propriety?
Notice, the bible doesn’t say, get into the land illegally and break the laws of that land to do it.

And Moses secures the release of the entire nation because of God's passover in which the first born son of all Egyptian men was killed.(the Jews marked their doors with the blood of a lamb so they were passed over)
Now we can derive all kinds of stuff out Obama’s scripture recitation.
He has no morals, and his only imperatives come from George Soros.
The thought of Little Stevie Dunham “quoting” scriptures makes me wince...
he should bleed from the mouth.

Can you smell the fragrance of pre-2012 election cycle flatulence?
He sure did not get his Bible reading from Rev. Jeremiah Wright. This is Moses telling the children 'freeeeed' from Pharaoh how they were to behave as they traveled through foreign lands to get to the Promised Land. Deuteronomy 10:11 And the LORD said unto me, 'Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.'
12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear (revere) the LORD thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love HIM, and to serve the LORD thy God with all they heart and with all thy soul,
13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and His statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.
ONLY the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and He chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.
16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
17 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great GOD, a mighty, and a terrible, Which regardeth NOT persons, nor taketh reward:
<18> He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, (sojourner) in giving him food and raiment.
19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 Thou shalt fear (revere) The LORD thy God; HIM shalt thou serve, and to Him shalt thou cleave, and swear by His name.
21 HE is thy praise, and He is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
20 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
BamBamKennedy is NOW messing in 'heavenly' territory making himself out to be a 'god'.
