Mr. Obama is going to be using a new tactic to sell his Obamacare. Today, he meets with liberal religious leaders...

I have no idea what is in Obama's soul...I have no idea how deep his relationship is with his God...but I am wildly perplexed how the Left-Wing in this country, who spit on people of Faith, and belittle religion at every turn, now think they have some moral standing on which to preach to us about our own spirituality.

Again, how stupid do they think we are?

I am not going to judge those spiritual leaders and their congregations for whatever role they play in helping Obama use God to sell Obamacare. That's between them and God. I have a partial list of folks below.

I just have one question for Mr. Obama...but I am not going to ask it myself.

Rather, I am going to use the words of Sarah Palin, who just the other day begged an answer from Obama regarding one of the moral aspects of Obamacare. Here are her words from Facebook:

"...nationalized health care inevitably leads to rationing. There is simply no way to cover everyone and hold down the costs at the same time. The rationing system proposed by one of President Obama’s key health care advisors is particularly disturbing. I’m speaking of the “Complete Lives System” advocated by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the president’s chief of staff. President Obama has not yet stated any opposition to the “Complete Lives System,” a system which, if enacted, would refuse to allocate medical resources to the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled who have less economic potential. [1] Why the silence from the president on this aspect of his nationalization of health care? Does he agree with the “Complete Lives System”? If not, then why is Dr. Emanuel his policy advisor? What is he advising the president on? I just learned that Dr. Emanuel is now distancing himself from his own work and claiming that his “thinking has evolved” on the question of rationing care to benefit the strong and deny the weak."

Sarah Palin asked you a very clear question, Mr. Obama. Does your Christ following heart agree with Emanuel? Would the God you worship agree with your other health adviser, Peter Singer, that its okay to end the lives of disabled children who are under the age of two?

Answer those questions Obama. Answer those questions before you preach to us about morality and human dignity.

The president will address more than 1,000 leaders of different faiths in two conference calls, hoping they will pass on his ideas about the overhaul to their parishioners.

President Obama has barnstormed the country to sell his healthcare overhaul directly to sometimes-skeptical Americans. Today he will bring his message to a friendlier audience -- faith leaders who see reform as an ethical and religious imperative.

Obama is scheduled to address more than 1,000 religious figures in two conference calls, allowing him to extend his message to legions of faithful in the pews.

First up is a "High Holy Day" call this morning with rabbis from Judaism's Reform, Conservative and Reconstructionist movements. Organizers hope the call will provide fodder for synagogue sermons when the Jewish holidays arrive next month.

The center is a co-sponsor of the second conference call later in the day -- pegged as "40 Minutes for Health Reform" -- with scores of lay leaders and clergy from evangelical, Protestant, Catholic and Jewish traditions.

"My hope and prayer is that President Obama is going to hold firm to his principle of making sure everyone is covered," said the Rev. Jim Wallis, head of the progressive evangelical group Sojourners and a member of Obama's faith-based advisory council. "Holding presidents to promises they have made is a good vocation for the faith community."

Obama's conversations with faith leaders come as major religious groups -- including Faith in Public Life and Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, ramp up a national campaign to influence the fall debate over healthcare.

The effort, known as "40 Days for Health Reform," features a national television ad, prayer rallies, meetings in congressional districts where lawmakers are waffling and a nationwide "sermon weekend" at the end of August.

Today's conference call with Obama, which will be webcast at faithforhealth.org, is designed to propel the myriad initiatives.

One figure scheduled on the call, the Rev. Joel Hunter of the 10,000-member Northland Church near Orlando, Fla., said Obama needs to go through religious leaders to sell his message "because that's who has access to the vast majority of people in this country."

Hunter also serves on Obama's faith-based council. "We want to find a solution, not find a fau

I'm still trying to understand what a ‘liberal religious leader’ is...

A wolf in sheep's clothing. An alpha wolf.
