The Obamas don't bother to attend church on Christmas and make excuses as to why not

BHO only attends church on Festivus

 

OH MY GOD!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ..."

He could switch to Islam for all I care. He's the next president so deal with it.

 

Finally, a secular humanist Presidency.

It's like I've been frozen for a hundred years and suddenly awaken in a rational world; one of those disruptive leaps of social evolution like the founding of the first modern democracy 230 years ago. About time.

Obama is going to be the best President evar!

 

Poll: Obama is man Americans admire most
By Susan Page, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — A month before his inauguration, Americans choose Barack Obama as the man they admire most in the world, according to a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll. It's the first time a president-elect has topped the annual survey in more than a half-century.

President Bush falls to a distant second after seven years as the most-admired man.

Hillary Rodham Clinton leads the list of most-admired woman, a spot she's held for 13 of the past 16 years — as first lady, then New York senator and now Obama's designate for secretary of State. A newcomer is second: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who wasn't well-known nationally until Republican presidential candidate John McCain chose her as his running mate in August.

The findings, a snapshot of public opinion at the end of a tumultuous year, reflect soaring expectations for an incoming president who will take over daunting economic challenges on Jan. 20.

"Things are down so much at the end of 2008 and the end of Bush's administration … and Obama represents a new beginning and some hope and anticipation that things can get better," says James McPherson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and editor of 'To the Best of My Ability:' The American Presidents.

That could be a "two-edged sword," McPherson adds. "High hopes are bound to be disappointed in some degree," he says, "but it also gives him a honeymoon period which is one of real opportunity for him to try to get things done because he'll have a lot of support and a lot of good will."

One-third of Americans call Obama their first or second choice for most-admired man. The only higher support for a man in the history of the survey was Bush's 39% rating in 2001, months after the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington.

The survey of 1,008 adults, taken by landline and cellphone Dec. 12-14, has an error margin of +/—3 percentage points.

Among women, Michelle Obama is rated fifth, following talk-show host Oprah Winfrey at third and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at fourth.

Among men, McCain is ranked third and three others tie for fourth: Pope Benedict XVI, the Rev. Billy Graham and former president Bill Clinton.

Obama's rise is matched by Bush's decline. The president's support has ebbed nearly every year since 2001, falling to 5% this year.

That matches the presidential low point reached by Harry Truman in 1952. Dwight Eisenhower scored first that year, the only other time a president-elect has led the list since Gallup began asking the question in 1948.

Another reason why I love the guy.

He's not jamming his religion down everyone's throat.

 

In the spirit of the hoildays, all I'll say to BigTexxx is God forgives you for your judgemental attitude.

brah

 

i like how Trader, basso, and big texxx reinforce each other. When one is out, the other continues without skipping a beat. Impressive. Almost, too well executed.

 

That's the great thing about this country... Freedom OF religion and freedom FROM religion.

I support our Presidents right to exercise both ends of that right... and as a freedom loving American, you should too.

 

I take it back, that's not all I'll say

So Texxx, no word at all about Obama visiting with military families and thanking them for thier service on Christmas day?

hum......

 

go away. please. your dude lost and your threads are pathetic. please stop wasting space in here.

 

Why not just comment in your original post? Or did you forget to log into another account? lol

 

i don't think it's very christian to be judging obama's devotion to his religion when you weren't even in his home during christmas. do you think it is a christian way to act?

 

I heard John McCain went to the noon service instead of showing up at his Aunt Gertrude's for the family boxing day brunch.

CLEARLY, HE HATES HIS FAMILY!

 

The reality is no one knows anyones true convictions of faith. The proclamation of faith has been a requirement of the public trust since The Spanish Inquisition. Everyone does it, more loudly or less, but the volume isn't a very good indicator of the truth.

If it were politically possible for a man to stand up and say I don't really know anything substantive about the nature or existence of God, we'd probably get fewer conflicted, self-hating posers elected to office.

 

I didn't go to church yesterday, but I do go every Sunday. What's the big deal?

 

you're obviously a terrible human being.
