President Barack Obama says he relies on his faith and values to guide his work on the nation's most urgent problems, including the economy.

Obama says that as a Christian, he believes in the teaching that to whom much is given, much is required.

He says that belief, and his reliance on economic good sense, is behind his policies — including his call for the wealthy to pay more taxes.

Obama urges other leaders to not abandon their values or "the moral glue" that has guided the nation for centuries.

Summary: I am my brother’s keeper by forcing others by gun point to support him! Missed this message in the Bible for some reason.

This guy, Obama or whatever his name is must be laughing his a$$ off at the American people. Many buy this garbage he says while they can see with their own eyes it is a bunch of nonsense.

I don’t use the term evil too often but it fits with this guy. Either that are he is the biggest puppet/moron on Earth. He is not. This is all very well planned and very well executed. The demolition of the United States of America from the top down.

Dear Lord, what have we done?

Taqiyya (alternate spellings taqiya, taqiyah, tuqyah), meaning religious dissimulation, is a practice emphasized in Shi’a Islam whereby adherents may conceal their religion when they are under threat, persecution, or compulsion.[

Replace God and charity with government so you must worship and depend on them. It's working so well all around the world look at North Korea. He acts as if he is doing God's work and is very divine.

If he was a Christian he’d know that we are to give to the needy from our OWN desire. Not because the government told us to.

His ego, cynicism, and willingness to lie are without apparent bounds.

Hitler used “Christianity”, too.

Adolf Hitler: As a Christian, I Feel that My Lord and Savior was a Fighter

My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. ...Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. ...

- Adolf Hitler, speech on April 12, 1922

Even the vilest dictators will use God’s name to further their cause. I recall that Leonid Brezhnev rattled Jimmy Carter by referring to God during a meeting over nuclear arms.

He better be careful. Liberals hate Christians, especially ones that talk about it. Better watch out for his base.
