President Omits God from Thanksgiving Address for Fourth Straight Year
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 23 Nov 2012 | John Semmens

Posted on 11/23/2012 2:02:58 PM PST by John Semmens

The fourth year of President Obama’s reign maintained his traditional omission of God from the Thanksgiving address to the nation. This break from his predecessors was vigorously defended by First Lady Michelle Obama.

“Why should God get the credit for blessings that He had no part in creating?” Michelle asked. “It’s federal farm programs that ensure a robust harvest each year. It’s the FDA that guarantees the food we put on our tables is safe to eat. And it’s the generous expansion of eligibility for Food Stamps that has enabled even the poorest among us the opportunity to enjoy an adequate diet.”

The First Lady contrasted government’s role with “the seeming indifference of God. There has been drought, floods, and storms to impede the process of feeding the hungry under God’s watch. We need to move beyond a superstitious awe for a mythical entity and show a greater appreciation for the beneficence that Barack has bestowed upon the common people of this nation.”

Not wishing to appear excessively closed-minded, Michelle did allow that “if people want to thank God for anything it should be for creating Barack. That such a person has arrived to lead this country at a pivotal point in our history is a miracle everyone should be grateful for.”

Yhe Lord is not in the Obama house. The Obama house labors in vain and shall fall.

Nancy Pelosi weighed in as well: “And above all we are thankful that abortion is still safe and legal so that families are not burdened by another mouth to feed, women are not hindered in their pursuit of successful careers, and men do not have to pay the price for a moment of passion.”

(I think Pelosi would have worshiped Baal back in the day.)

Satire or not, I’m thinking that God omitted Obama from His Thanksgiving address for the fourth straight year also.......

Actually, having read thought Hebrew scriptures — my Old Testament — more than once and seeing God do so repeatedly, I actually believe that God is directing Obama to crush America and Americans in the same way He used this or that wicked ruler to crush His chosen, yet wayward, Israelite people.
