Michelle Obama Cites Jesus as Model for Citizenship
ABC News ^ | 6/29/12 | Devin Dwyer

Posted on 06/29/2012 10:06:37 AM PDT by Nachum

First lady Michelle Obama Thursday offered a rare public reflection on her religious faith, telling a conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church that the life of Jesus Christ is a model for democratic organizing. “It’s kind of like church,” Obama said. “Our faith journey isn’t just about showing up on Sunday for a good sermon and good music and a good meal. It’s about what we do Monday through Saturday as well, especially in those quiet moments, when the spotlight’s not on us, and we’re making those daily choices about how

Like the guy from the EPA explained, all you need to do is round up 5 or 6 folks and publicly crucify them to set an example like the Romans crucified their conquered.

Galatians 5:19-21 reflect the Obama’s spiritual journey. I like the New Living Translation of this scripture best. It really expresses in today’s english what they are doing and what will happen to them.

” ..the life of Jesus Christ is a model for democratic organizing.”

****

That famous passage where the disciples finally decide to vote Jesus from mere prophethood into a full fledged Messiahship is particularly instructive.

As is the story where Jesus tells the tax collector to come down from the tree and begin organising the poor in his community to demand Section VIII housing from their Roman oppressors.

And then there is poor Lazarus, whose resurrection would not have been possible without free healthcare.

Ok, I’ll stop now!

Now she is making the rounds of the churches,I don't know why she bothers all the black Church's, people will vote for the losers..

I did hear the amazon woman is off on vacation to London next month..

http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2012/06/22/michelle-headed-london/

Now this is what I call a grand excursion.

First Lady Michelle Obama will be on her way to London next month, leading the U.S. delegation to the Olympic Games, which start July 27 and end August 12.

I assume she will take her daughters. It’s not clear how long they will be staying, but it’s more than likely they will make a vacation out of it.

Michelle and the girls each year take an exorbitant vacation without Barack to some far-flung locale, mostly at taxpayer expense .

In 2009 they went on a luxury trip to the “Spanish Riviera,” staying in what must qualify as a SIX STAR hotel in gorgeous Marbella.

In 2010 they went to southern Africa, this time throwing in some “official” events so that the safari and other exciting activities they engaged in didn’t look quite so tourist-like. Michelle brought her nephews and her mother along to help represent the United States of America.

It’s not clear why the United States needs to send a delegation to the Olympic games, but nevertheless, Michelle has decided she will bear the burden. The trip is also ostensibly an opportunity for her to promote her “Let’s Move” kids’ fat reduction program, though it’s hard to imagine this will take up a lot of her time.

Moochelle using religion as a weapoin reminded me of an old Woody Allen joke:

"Years ago, my mother gave me a bullet...a bullet, and I put it in my breast pocket. Two years after that, I was walking down the street, when a berserk evangelist heaved a Gideon bible out a hotel room window, hitting me in the chest. Bible would have gone through my heart if it wasn't for the bullet." - Woody Allen
