Oh Noes! From Fox: Obama Leaves God Out of Thanksgiving Address
Obama Leaves God Out of Thanksgiving Address

President Obama did not include any reference to God during his weekly address titled, “On Thanksgiving, Grateful for the Men and Women Who Defend Our Country.”

His remarks were void of any religious references although Thanksgiving is a holiday traditionally steeped in giving thanks and praise to God.

The president said his family was “reflecting on how truly lucky we truly are.”

For many Americans, though, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on how blessed and thankful they are.

The president said the “most American of blessings” is the “chance to determine our own destiny.”

He called the very first Thanksgiving a “celebration of community”

2. Just so I understand : The repugnant repub feel that god is the
decider and provider of all things and so if one does not great wealth it is god's doing

I guess I can then blame god because I am not a 1%er

I should go and sue a church because their god discriminates against me

8. It wouldn't matter if he did anyway
Democrats are always going to be on probation to prove how Christian they are, so it ends up being a waste of time.

9. And if you are a Christian blessing come from whom?
“most American of blessings” B. Obama 11/24/11

President Obama could cure cancer and Fox would say, "Why does Obama want to put doctors out of work?"

Fox is a propaganda outfit .... nothing more, nothing less.

16. If he had mentioned God....
...they'd be upset he didn't say Jesus. They'd say he meant Allah.
If he had mentioned Jesus, they'd be upset he didn't say Our Savior, Jesus Christ.
If he had said Our Savior Jesus Christ they'd say the Muslim/athiest (pick one) Marxist/Commie/Socialist/Nazi (pick any 2) president was just pretending.

There is not a thing he could say they would not complain about and spin.

18. Obama went to the top of a minaret and invoked the name of Allah
You just know Fox reporters would have given their first born to report on THAT story. Here, Obama looks to their nutter audience like a heathen atheist but they would have much preferred a Moslem.
