May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Separation of Church and State, Obama Style

This report come from the Statist ABC News room, so that combined with standard bad journalism, we only get a few actual facts. They are disturbing. Our Dear Leader had a conference call with leftist religious leaders. Who they are, specifically, is not mentioned, because of the aformentioned bad journalism.

Some quotes from the call, from Obama: “I know there's been a lot of misinformation in this debate, and there are some folks out there who are, frankly, bearing false witness, but I want everyone to know what health insurance reform is all about.” Obama talking about bearing false witness. Huh.

Some phrases he used: “distortion(s)” “fabrications” and “ludicrous ideas” “divisive and deceptive attacks” by people speaking out against healthcare. He didn't, or couldn't name names of these violators of ObamaTruth.

Obama: ... “fabrications that have been put out there in order to discourage people from meeting what I consider to be a core ethical and moral obligation, and that is that we look out for one another, that I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper, and in the wealthiest nation on Earth right now, we are neglecting to live up to that call.”

If he's his brother's keeper, ummmm, what's the story with his brother in Africa again? He's got a bunch of relatives in Africa. How are they doing? I suspect, still no hope and very little change.

Dear Leader, "I" am my brother's keeper is a personal pronoun. Not a government pronoun. This is the guy that reduced the tax breaks for charitable giving. Way to look out for your brother. He's all for using OPM to help others, just not his own.

Of course he'll get a pass talking to religious leaders and appealing them to advocate, from the pulpit, his cause.

Can you imagine a conservative president talking to conservative religious leaders asking them to advocate, from the pulpit, his/her cause? Headline news for weeks on end about the coming oppressive theocracy.
