@Alex (”OMG, did you just make up a book of the bible?”) I have 1 Timothy in my copy of the King James. Do a little bit of research before mocking. It strengthens your joke.

@Jacques - shame you didn’t read past the title, because at some point you would have realized that you misinterpreted it.

God is the Creator of this earth. So, yes religion has a lot to do with everything in life. A country that agrees with ‘In God We Trust’, remember. No one is higher than God. Should you go there, then your chances of rising above him will be ‘zero’. Obama acknowledges what has been planted in him from birth, the maturing of his position to be placed by God to carry out his mission in which he has been blessed with. That is the President of the United States of America. Hillary, as well as all of us will have our chance to shine. Hang in there Hillary, but change your ways. Might be advisable for you toget with that change’ that Obama is so freely asking us all. To unite together in change for all Americans. Stop trying to place yourself, where you are not blessed to set.

Throughout the campaign, Obama’s behavior has smacked of mendacity and arrogance; NAFTA-gate and Bitter-gate have now made his traits abundantly clear. Thank God Obama was exposed for what he is before the all-important Pennsylvania Primary! How did a man like that graduate from Harvard Law School as Magna Cum Laude!! They must have awarded him Equal Opportunity Grades, or else he was the only one graduating that year! As my Bishop would say, “GO FIGURE!” !!

The Orange Couty Register newspaper published in California had a marvelous editorial page today, with all three primary articles (Thomas Sowell, George F. Will and Rich Lowry) severely taking Obama to task, as he well deserves.

However, the best of all therein was the Politcal Cartoon by Mike Ramirez / Investor’s Business Daily, which showed the Pope waving to the warm applause of the greeting crowd in America, and Obama standing behind the Pope making a comment on-the-side as follows: “The crowd is only here because they’re bitter and the gun shops are closed.” !! RIGHT ON, Ramirez !!

Right after reading the title I stopped reading.

Any ‘leader’ trying to justify his/her action because he/she asked god over it is a lying (…) that is not to be trusted.

THEY want to be whatever, it is not ‘god’s will’.

Enough of these individuals that try to justify anything by using someone else’s faith.

Why does religion have to play a roll in candidates “speeches” ? They should just concentrate on the issues that effect the public. Being religous doesn’t make a good president. Look at Bush. He talks to God on a regular basis. Look at what a failure he is!

If “God” was even mentioned in the electoral process in Australia the candidates would be considered nutters. Religion should not have ANYTHING to do with the presidency.

To John who called Ralph Nader a lobbyist puppet; could you be any more incorrect?

Hello!, Obama is not a muslim and people should stop peddling that rumour. I am a sound Republican but it is not right for people to be labeling Barack Obama a muslim without doing justice to research him and get the answers to their questions. It is rather shameful of us to engage in any form of smear campaign just to give our own candidate an advantage.

All people need to do is read is books and books written by other people about him, even before he knew he was going to run for the office of the POTUS. If you like, the book is on sale at malltropolitan.com and some other places as well. Please let us run a good campaign without destroying one another, let us run on merits and facts and not on hatred and falsehold. As we castigate the candidates, let us do a soul search to see if we have any latent racism in us that could compromise and cloud our judgement. Let us be true to ourselves for it is only when we are true to ourselves that we can be true to others.

I don’t think God gets involved in who is going to be president. We would not have gotten Bush, if that were the case. I hope is God is involved he gives us Oboma.

Q - do you believe “God wants you to be president?” A - ” Well, I could be glib and say we’ll find out,” Clinton said to laughter from the audience.

Now what’s so funny about that? Suppose God wants Clinton to be president. Would that make it a sure thing?

Cases in point - God wanted the Israelites out of Egypt and needed a lot of help from people using “tricks” to get the job done. It was very iffy. And. God wanted to destroy the World Trade Center. Just like getting the chosen people out of Egypt, God needed help from “tricks” and people.

Those who rely on God alone, no help from “tricks” and people will surely be disappointed. Hillary got any more “tricks” up her sleeve? How about Barak and Johnny?
