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

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.

More heresy from the false Messiah.

He doesn't follow Christ - but he knows how Christians should...

For instance: anybody who pays taxes.

God’s design is centered on the Free Will decisions of human beings, not armed coercion from the Communist State.

Perfect example of why I do not listen to people who begin with the WWJD answers to public policy question.

[Tenacious 1]

This makes me uncomfortable to read. In fact, it makes my stomach turn. I’m queezy.

[massgopguy]

Ladies and Gentleman, President Elmer Gantry.

Coming from Obama...uh yes. I realize even the devil will quote scripture, however this Pres__ent has been so far very anti Christian. Whenever this man uses Christ in a sentence is blasphemy to me.

Chain of Command: Lucifer to Alinski. Alinski to radicals. Radicals to the progressives(commies). Progressives to Obama.
