For Fourth Straight Year, Obama's Thanksgiving Message Doesn't Thank God
breitbart ^ | 11/21/12 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 11/22/2012 2:09:37 PM PST by Nachum

Yet again, President Obama’s Thanksgiving message eschewed any direct reference to thanking God, making this the fourth straight year in which the President of the United States has ignored the central message of the holiday in favor of political grandstanding.

This year, Obama’s central message was that now that he’s been re-elected, Americans should agree with all of his policies. His unity routine sounds strangely empty after a campaign in which he focused on dividing Americans:

But most of all, it’s a time to give thanks for each other, and for the incredible bounty we enjoy.

That’s especially important this year. As a nation, we’ve just emerged from a campaign season that was passionate, noisy, and vital to our democracy. But it also required us to make choices – and sometimes those choices led us to focus on what sets us apart instead of what ties us together; on what candidate we support instead of what country we belong to ….

We’re also grateful that this country has always been home to Americans who see these blessings not simply as gifts to enjoy, but as opportunities to give back. Americans who believe we have a responsibility to look out for those less fortunate – to pull each other up and move forward together.

Hmm... I knew Someone Powerful is behind his 2008 and 2012 election victories. There must be a Divine reason for it.

Hmmm.... didn’t Ronald Reagan have a number of things to say about God. Because as I remember, he did...

At least he didn’t thank “Allah the all-merciful”.

Yes, he used the sign of the cross on the turkey- but he did it backwards with his left hand.

And I'm good with that. Being thankful to God implies being within the family, and as being redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.

Let him eat turkey and cake.

Yeah, but not G*d. His opposite, I’d wager.

I doubt Obama is a Moslem, rather I think that he’s a secular humanist, at least first and foremost. His real Holy Trinity can be best summed up as “Me, Myself, and I”.

LOL, this is very clever, me, myself and I. I don’t think he is a Muslim either, but a Muslim sympathizer. I think he believes that by catering to them, they will like us. HA! He’s a fool if he believes that.

He wants all of us to thank the government for everything.
