Maybe A Limited Partner?

Geez, I am God's partner now just because Obama was elected?  Or is it just Obama that is God's partner?  No, he said "We are God's partner in matter of life and death".

Well, I'm sure it's nothing to get wee-wee'd up about.  When Bush talked like this the left fell to pieces because they thought he meant it but with Obama they know he's just putting it on for the rubes.

WITH GOOGLE ON MY SIDE:  George Bush, John Edwards and Sarah Palin knew, with Abe Lincoln, that we hope to be on God's side but never presume Him to be on our side; John Kerry is still thinking it over.  And The One is now expanding the Holy Trinity into some structured partnership - what will Wall Street conquer next?

I guess the tony prep school grad who went on to Occidental, Columbia and Harvard Law was too busy studying the PC modern texts to peruse Chapter 38 of the Book of Job. If he had, he might not be so loose with his humans as partner of God talk. See LUN.

No, he said "We are God's partner in matter of life and death".

If there is a moral imperative for government to provide, why didn’t the “stimulus” just give everybody a new American automobile, an endless supply of gasoline, a free lifetime supply of Viagra & condoms, an X-box, a boat, a free lifetime pass to Burger King and no taxes ?

Dude claims to be God's partner but can't remember how many states there are or how he met his wife.

Caligula only made his horse Incitatus a Senator,Obama made a horse's arse Vice President.

[Menlo Bob]

Regarding Obama's comment about being your brother's keeper; He seems positively engaged in carrying out what he calls God's commandments--even though on closer inspection (Genesis 4:9) the source of the 'brother's keeper' command is derived from Cain responding to God's inquiry about his brother Abel whom he had killed. In otherwords Obama has confused God with a murderer.

[bad to the bone]

Even Jesus who was fully man and fully God declared himself to be a servant.

[Elliott]

I can't wait for the press conference: "Well, first, I'd like to address this notion that God made the world. And I can, in fact, address some of the concerns that have been raised. And, actuall-ah, as you know from the health care reform discussions, thanks to the NHS' tremendous care for Stephen Hawking I could cite you chapter and verse. But, God making the world is not in the bill. You're hearing all kinds of things, allegations, being lobbed up and some of them just aren't true. "

Job has that "Gird up now thy loins" thing.

Matthew 24:48-51
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

On the bright side, Obama has left for his vacation. A week without his mug on my tv...::sigh::...heaven.

There are several religions to which the words of Obama would be blasphemy,certainly offensive.One in particular where they would merit the death sentence.

I've been down at VA Tech dropping off our oldest. My husband (always thoughtful) brought the computer so I could check in with JOM, and my regular sites. Super great post by bgates on the "They're Lying Even Though..." thread. It is a pleasure to be a lurker with this group.

President Obama, who skipped the National Prayer Day ceremony, has released a special message for Muslims, commemorating Ramadan.

Not to be too preachy about it, but the argument that Man was God's equal (a 'partner' if you will) was the basic thrust of Lucifer's message.

Perhaps this was said elsewhere, but it seems to me that given the Friday afternoon deficit figures, Healthcare reform is officially dead.

Dear God, LLC:

I herewith dissolve our partnership and request a settlement of accounts and disbursement of assets. If it's not inconvenient, I'd like first dibs on New Mexico and a nice condo in Hawaii.

Dear Barry,

I think you can reasonably expect climate change in your retirement. Regarding partnership, I've reviewed our articles of incorporation and can find no mention of Obama. The Son and Holy Spirit concur.

Best,

[Extraneus]

Good call on the Friday afternoon aspect of that deficit uplift, Jane.

Btw, Obama was pretty clear in 1995 that his Christianity isn't "necessarily a traditional faith."

[God's Executive Assistant]

Old Dad: God wishes to correct you . . . Obama believes he has a "partnership" with the Deity . . . so, that would be an LLP.

[God's Executive Assistant-now looking for a new job.]

Oops - Even E.A.'s need a good proofreader from time-to-time. Calling Clarice.

The above should read LP. LIMITED Partnership.

An LLP is a limited liability partnership, so maybe God knew what he wanted when he had you type that.

I stand corrected, but it's my understanding that the One still requests first dibs on a warm retirement place.

Frankly this equal partnership is another Obama scam.
God said,"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last".
Would a Creator hook up with a guy who has a nine trillion dollar deficit? He would know already.

[centralcal]

And, THAT is why you are one of my favorites, PUK. Indeed! Why would one who is PERFECT align himself (hook up) with someone so imperfect?

HE wouldn't.

Lawdy, lawdy, I so love it when far Left loons set themselves on fire! Obama is NOT the Phoenix, much as he would believe himself to be (or maybe, Axlerod convinced hid he was).

[Extraneus]

Think it might have had anything to do with his racial makeup, Janet? The whole Obama pheonomenon makes me think of the boxer Jerry Cooney, whom Don King dubbed "The Great White Hope." (Gee, is that a common word there?)

But Cooney was taken out when he made the big time, and it had nothing to do with race. Just like Obama will be taken out; only in his case they'll be whining about race the whole way.

[Old Dad]

PUK,

God has one helluva an LOC. Maybe He's contemplating a hostile takeover.

[Jane will cause you pain]

Jane, I hope you are correct about Obama HealthCarp.

I don't expect him to concede, but really our side should assume vocally that he can't possibly proceed lest he be considered crazy and unqualified - or something like that.

"The deficit is unsustainable, we must lower it which means the suspension of all new spending until further notice. Oh and cancel the rest of the porkulus too."

That will end cap and tax too.

"I don't come out of a institutionalized religious setting, but what becomes important to me as I've worked in the south side of Chicago, and the lower income neighborhoods, is to realize that all the stories and songs of the church, the HOPE that is embedded in the historically African American church is really something that moves me deeply and I think is probably the main pillar around which a lot of inner city communities are going to be built and Rev. Wright....represents the best of what the black church has to offer".

If you listen carefully to BO's interview in 1995, I can hear him say that his faith is in the black liberation theology of Rev. Wright, and his mentor, James Cone.

BTW, has BO found a church in D.C. yet?

[Sue The Bastard]

LOL.

[clarice]

Maybe we should put together a film of all the clips of his contradictory statements and enter it in the Sundance Film Festival.

Great idea Clarice. Let's celebrate him bearing false witness against himself.

[Extraneus]

He's been pretty honest on a number of occasions. Not lately, but in the past, before he was big enough to believe he had a chance.

Religion, single-payer, redistributive justice, flawed Constitution, Alinsky, etc., etc.

You almost can't fault the guy for dishonesty, at least until recently. The fault is with the media, which didn't shine the light on any of it, and they're most responsible for what's happening to him and them now.

Whaddya bet a number of the progs are pining for Hillary now.

[Jim Ryan]

The liberals thought he was going to be this amazing Bill Clinton-like charmer who would do all sorts of cool government programs and charm us on TV. The lefties thought he was going to be a smart hard leftist who would really push the program forward with a dizzying cunning. Then the teleprompter broke and the truth was revealed.

that would be like sitting through a James Cameron piece, too long, and we know the ending already.

[Captain Hate]

Has he looked? After all he didn't think there were any farmer's markets.

[Sue The Bastard]

Obama is either agnostic or an atheist. I haven't decided which. He panders to Muslims because it gives him cred and probably from some boyhood memories.

[clarice]

Capt. IIRC the last statement on the issue was that they were going to pray in a private chapel because if they went to any regular church it would distract the worshippers.

[Elliott]

Does it have a chaplain? This Royal Presidential peculiar sounds like grist for the diarist.

[clarice]

I think when you are partnered with God a chaplain seems superfluous.

Hey guys,

I don't know if any of you still listen to the FWDAJ podcast, but my friend Roger has posted an audio rebuttal to the last show. It's very good and certainly more competition than Dick.

Obama/Shamama--He still hasn't figured out you don't talk to God, you talk with him. And those 20 years he spent at Rev.Wrights have not put him in the front of the line--one must possess a true heart to even get in the line. Not just a need to win..He's like first-time felons who run looking for God when they have no one else who will listen and don't realize he has been with you always. watching, listening, remembering. Yes, progressive, baby-killing, seiu and acorn frauding, kickback taking politicians, media anchors, we are all his children and responsible for our actions to fellow man, which are also our actions for and against God.

President Copy Cat again follows GWB. This is from Time magazine and might be true:

Now, in an unexpected move, Obama has told White House aides that instead of joining a congregation in Washington, D.C., he will follow in George W. Bush's footsteps and make his primary place of worship Evergreen Chapel, the nondenominational church at Camp David.

I think when you guys wake up in a couple hours a big topic will be the release of the Pan-Am bomber back to Libya, and his hero`s welcome by the country. Khadafi`s son says his release was tit for tat to grease the palms so the Brits could do some Oil deals. Gordon Brown is in Scotland on Holiday, but apparently keeping mum amid the outrage. I await P`UK`s input.

Over here CNN International and the BBC keep saying Obama harshly criticized the release of the guy, but all I see on the news is as Obama`s walking away from an outdoor event a reporter hollars out what did he think of the release, and what I think he answers back over his shoulder as he continues walking is simply "It was objectionable."

And where the Media got "harshly critical" out of "It was objectionable" beats me. "It was Objectional" is more suited to a comment on Michelle in a pants-suit, not to a Nation giving a hero`s welcome to a mass murderer of innocent civilians.

[PeterUK]

Daddy,
A convoluted tale. Please note,the Queen would only get involved at the behest of the government,since she is a Constitutional Monarch and this is political.
There is also an element of the Scottish National Party giving two fingers to Westminster.

Tony Blair was heavily involved. Oil is thicker than blood.

Utterly appalling! But all in all,what else would you expect from a bunch of socialists?

Hhmmm - is is oh so gentle, but still, Robin Givhan is scolding America's fashion icon:

Ultimately, the first lady can't be -- nor should she be -- just like everyone else. Hers is a life of responsibilities and privileges. She gets the fancy jet. She has to dress for the ride. (snip)

Her private family vacation might have called for sport shorts. Her very public descent from Air Force One would have been less jarring -- what with two stern servicemen standing ramrod-straight and the bulletproof presidential "beast" waiting -- if her attire had been more polished. Was a suit required? A fancy dress? Or any kind of dress, for that matter? Absolutely not. This is 2009, after all, not 1950. But there's a difference between shorts that could be worn jogging and those that one might wear to a backyard barbecue. (snip)

Avoiding the appearance of queenly behavior is politically wise. But it does American culture no favors if a first lady tries so hard to be average that she winds up looking common.

[clarice]

Yes, Robin finally quits lying and comes straight.

And Salon's Gabriel Winant borrows from the marvelous JOM Three stooges parody and in a less funny version notes it's applicable to Dem leaders on the health care fight:
"There’s a weird self-referential aspect to all this. The Senate Democrats won’t pass a bill with a public option, thanks to their rightmost members, and the House Democrats won’t pass a bill without one, thanks to their leftmost members. The president wants one, but is apparently ready to do what he has to in order to claim victory. Hoyer and Pelosi (as well as their Senate counterparts) are falling back on a version of, “Well that’s a nice idea, but I can’t support it, because it won’t pass.” Daschle thinks the “nuclear option” isn’t the best method, apparently, because it looks bad, not because it works any less well.

As long as the Democrats keep falling all over themselves and each other like this, the Republicans will barely have to do any work at all to block reform."

[JM Hanes]

Jane:

"Perhaps this was said elsewhere, but it seems to me that given the Friday afternoon deficit figures, Healthcare reform is officially dead."

And Team Obama has known about it for weeks too. These are the numbers that normally come out at the end of July. When the White House decided to "delay" releasing the report, Gibbs' response to the questions about it was something like "Listen guys, this is just not all that unusual for a new administration." I'm sure they've been planning the vacation dump from the get go.

That's an excellent point, jmh.

The 9 trillion just comes into line with the CBO number that was already out there, it's a "Oh, yeah, what they said" released on a Friday afternoon (after the market closed). Not that the market will care, apparently; the freshly printed dollars need a place to go, and every manner of bad news is being disregarded - temporarily.
