Topic: Obama: I Pushed Dodd-Frank And Health Care Reform Because Of Christ

At National Prayer Breakfast, Obama grounds his controversial policies in the Bible. Tax hikes for rich “{coincide} with Jesus's teaching.”[/quote]

President Barack Obama has been taking lumps from Republicans for years over his support for Wall Street and health care reform, but today at the National Prayer Breakfast he claimed support from on high to defend two of his most controversial legislative achievements.

    "And so when I talk about our financial institutions playing by the same rules as folks on Main Street, when I talk about making sure insurance companies aren’t discriminating against those who are already sick, or making sure that unscrupulous lenders aren’t taking advantage of the most vulnerable among us, I do so because I genuinely believe it will make the economy stronger for everybody. But I also do it because I know that far too many neighbors in our country have been hurt and treated unfairly over the last few years, and I believe in God’s command to 'love thy neighbor as thyself.'"

"I know the version of that Golden Rule is found in every major religion and every set of beliefs — from Hinduism to Islam to Judaism to the writings of Plato," Obama added.

The president said he often falls to his knees in prayer, and emphasized the role of his religious values in determining where to lead the country.

"I’d be remiss if I stopped there; if my values were limited to personal moments of prayer or private conversations with pastors or friends. So instead, I must try — imperfectly, but I must try — to make sure those values motivate me as one leader of this great nation."

Obama maintained that his call for the wealthiest to give up their tax breaks, he's doing so out of economic necessity, but also in line with biblical teachings.

"And I think to myself, if I’m willing to give something up as somebody who’s been extraordinarily blessed, and give up some of the tax breaks that I enjoy, I actually think that’s going to make economic sense. But for me as a Christian, it also coincides with Jesus’s teaching that 'for unto whom much is given, much shall be required,'" Obama said, noting Jewish and Islamic teachings say much the same thing.

Obama also defended foreign aid from assault, noting that it not just enhances the nation's security — but fulfills the biblical requirement to look out for those who cannot speak for themselves.

    "And when I decide to stand up for foreign aid, or prevent atrocities in places like Uganda, or take on issues like human trafficking, it’s not just about strengthening alliances, or promoting democratic values, or projecting American leadership around the world, although it does all those things and it will make us safer and more secure. It’s also about the biblical call to care for the least of these — for the poor; for those at the margins of our society.
    To answer the responsibility we’re given in Proverbs to 'Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.'"

What am to think that he wasn't struck dead on the spot.

Funny (read; not) how Obama always uses "I am my brother's keeper" when he's cynically using the bible to advance Marxism. Yet the only reference to the concept in the bible is the ignorance and arrogance of Cain, believing he can lie to God when God asks him where his murdered brother is...

Genesis Chapter 4:

8 Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?”

He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”

Obama perverts everything.

Sorta a crappy pic but I am envious of him all the same. I would give (just about) anything to be in the position to insult Øbozo to his face! Hats off to Phil Gingrey!

[Libertas]

Obama is the classic definition of a chest-thumping Pharisee...an apostate pretender...and it is not a mistake that he launches into Isslamic asskissing and a backward swipe with Judaism at the end.  This despicable lout perverts everything and anything for HIS OWN GLORY!!!

To the deepest darkest corners of hell he can go!!!

PS-Bravo Mr. Gingrey!   

[charlesoakwood]

Yes, this Pharisee's position in the afterlife is without question.

Bravo Mr. Gingrey!  

[LadyVirginia]

Oh, now he's a living saint is he?

 

Every saint I ever heard about didn't take steal from people to help others nor force them to violate their consciences to help others.

Everybody knows Obama falls to his knees, (is it 4 or 5 times per day?) towards Mecca. In a world where I always thought nothing he did would surprise me.......this surprised me. A Christian would not speak in such terms. Maybe this was part of the teachings the rev wright imparted upon the Obama family. This is truely sad. Honestly, I was wavering on a vote for Romney, if the nominee, but Obama is so twisted and evil....he must go. If I'm sanatorium, I'm getting out of the race, because my soul is more important than diving into the snake pit called DC.


I also find it sad only one chose to leave,,,,,only one.

I also find it sad only one chose to leave,,,,,only one.

I wouldn't have gone in the first place.

There is a cure for that maladjustment...unfortunately it kills the host as well...but, oh well, can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, eh?
