This is why Westboro Baptist Church is a joke

And now Obama states that God also supports his new job plan.

Well if he needs Gods help it probably is a crap plan in the first place.

Here is a link.

It seems more politically cynical or facetious, than earnest. And... I love that Carney (Press Secretary) misquotes the Bible. It's also often wrongly attributed to Ben Franklin.

How about, "Heaven ne’er helps the men who will not act" -- Sophocles

The House and Senate both spend an amazing amount of time passing little bills to glorify "this", or recognize "that", just to get a member a write up in the congressional record.

In this case, it was a somewhat cynical political barb hurled by one representative, Randy Forbes, in response to Obama's speech in Jakarta where he said, “In the United States, our motto is E pluribus unum — out of many, one.” Forbes, a bible thumping baptist who barely hung onto his seat despite district gerrymandering in his favor, defines his political role as "Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first, the most basic expression of Americanism. Thus the founding fathers of America sought and thus with God's help, it will continue to be." Thus, he obviously has memorized the King James version.

Still, it is the Senate that has slow walked the Presidents jobs legislation. The House is a popcorn kettle of bill creation, whereas it is the Senate who are traditionally supposed to contemplate, discuss, and debate what the House produces. The House must originate any bills dealing with spending the peoples money.

Talking about slow walking the President... I recently watched one of those CSpan3 book shows an author, Ron Susskind, talking about his new book, Confidence Men. Evidently, Geitner slow walked the President's plan to nationalize Citigroup, and others. Obama wanted to do a Sweden, rather than a Japan. What we ended up with was a Japan.
