If you’re a Christian, then there is simply nothing you are more thankful for (not just on Thanksgiving, but every day) than a risen Savior.
But Obama, despite his weak protestations claiming otherwise, is not a Christian. I’m still inclined to believe that he believes in Allah more than God, there is no other that Obama worships more than the false idol of Obama.
So, it’s not surprising at all that Obama would, once again, omits any reference to thanking God during his annual Thanksgiving address (wouldn’t want to upset his friends in the Muslim Brotherhood):
During his fourth Thanksgiving presidential address, President Barack Obama referenced the recent, long and bruising campaign season, urged the country to unite behind his administration and, for the fourth year running, neglected to offer verbal thanks to God.
“As a nation, we’ve just emerged from a campaign season that was passionate, noisy, and vital to our democracy,” Obama said. “But it also required us to make choices – and sometimes those choices led us to focus on what sets us apart instead of what ties us together; on what candidate we support instead of what country we belong to.”
“Thanksgiving,” he continued, “is a chance to put it all in perspective – to remember that, despite our differences, we are, and always will be, Americans first and foremost.”
The president’s call to unite behind his administration follows a bitter election, in which his opponent, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, won independents 50 to 45 percent, and whites 59 to 39 percent.

Additionally, for the fourth year in a row, the president did not explicitly thank God, raising the ire of conservatives.
“Today we give thanks for blessings that are all too rare in this world,” Obama said. “The ability to spend time with the ones we love; to say what we want; to worship as we please; to know that there are brave men and women defending our freedom around the globe; and to look our children in the eye and tell them that, here in America, no dream is too big if they’re willing to work for it.”
The president’s mention of the freedom “to worship as we please” could be seen as a challenge to conservatives and the Catholic Church, both of which have accused his administration of waging a war on religious freedom. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops — an organization that has often angered conservative Catholics for its left-wing rhetoric — held a week of Masses, culminating in a Wednesday afternoon, July 4 Mass at the National Basilica, where 5,000 Catholics overflowed the 3,500-seat basilica.

Because he believes the gov’t is God.
Chicago Jesus is apparently cutting God out of the action.
You Christholes and bigots are sputtering insane. Keep your vain, petty, fraidy God to yourselves if he’s too lame to go without everyone else’s praise for ten seconds.
It’s really too bad that y’all had to make such a shabby God in your own image. It wouldn’t be bad to have something to aspire to, you know?
Let’s see — calling someone a “Christhole” and then labeling them as a bigot certainly seems a bit hypocritical to me.
By the way — “Chicago Jesus” is what Obama’s own campaign manager called him.
Not every Christian is a Christhole. But y’all are.
And I’m sure that there were plenty of Kluxers who said “Not all colored are niggers, but you are” and plenty of Nazis who said “Not all Jews are kikes, but you are”. Feel comfortable in the company of your brethren.
You perceive an insult to your deity, so you feel compelled to attack other’s.
Get over yourself Øbama disciple.
No — I recognize a bigoted insult directed at religious believers to be religious bigotry.
RWR, my reply was directed to the “some” guy.
Robbie is a self-described athiest
Nope. An agnostic. But I might be starting to see the light…
Is there something wrong with Atheism? For whatever it’s worth & I suspect that’s not very much, at least the Imp-Potus didn’t instead thank Allah. I guess the Potus either had his teleprompter or a public speaking aid was manning the cue-cards. Then again; I can picture him wearing ear-buds, a stoned Bill Clinton’s on the other end reading a speech to the Potus & he reminisces that he didn’t have sex with that woman LOL. Benghazi Gate taking advice from Whitewater Gate. Somebody didn’t get the memo; We don’t abandon, betray or otherwise leave our own to the mercy of our enemies.
“Keep your vain, petty, fraidy God to yourselves”
My repsonse
“But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you. Matt 5:44.
As we say in Texas, I’ll pray for you.
I could care less if the current president thanks God or not. I did not fail to. I also thank God for our forefather’s presence of mind to not only prevent the government from establishing a Church, Temple, Mosque of the United States but to also prevented an overreaching government from prohibiting my free exercise thereof.
