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

I guess it’s only flawed on some computers. I was able to find both threads. Only trying to help Jim...sorry if I stepped on your toes.
It is wrong to wish bodily harm or death on someone, so I hope Obama contracts a stubborn, painful STD on his next crack fueled sex binge with his gay lover..
I had on my waist waders and the BS came right to the top of them.
Imagine if a Conservative President said, “In keeping with my religious convictions I believe that life begins at conception and that it is essential to stop the killing of unborn babies.” The cry from Liberals would be, “How dare you impose your religious beliefs on us.”

Just because someone's a Christian doesn't mean he doesn't need help or to get straightened out. All of us need it. And maybe some more than others.
How about the killing of babies? Is that what Jesus would want?
The dude aint a Christian.
His “Christian faith” is from a “reverend” who was a compatriot of Louis Farrakhan and one Mr James H Cone, founder of Black Liberation theology.
Obama spent over 20 years of sundays listening to this propagator spewing crap unrelated to Christianity and America.
He just recently threw his reverend under the bus, just to get distance.
Lies roll off his lips with the ease of butter melting in the oven.
