GOP to OBAMA: "You Don't mention God Enough"

Well, I thought I was finished mentioning Republicans for the week, but this one is worth it.

The president, President Obama, (I have been reading Fox News and they call him everything but that, so if I don't say it, I'll forget he his the president and not some degenerate. libertine anti-Christ) is again the focus of conservative rage.

This time the rage is over President Obama's weekly Internet address.  This week, naturally, the president's remarks focused on Thanksgiving and all of the things for which he was thankful.  As most other people, the president was thankful for, among other things, loved ones, for people who served this country and the community at large, and the ability for Americans to determine their destiny.  At the end of the Internet address, the president asked God to bless the people watching the Internet address.  For good measure, the president explicitly thanked God in remarks earlier in the week.

Well, all of this thanking God by the president isn't enough for conservative talkers.  They have called President Obama a "turkey" because he didn't mention God at all or enough in his remarks this week.

Now, I am all for spirituality in the White House and I know that our leaders need guidance from Spirit to make compassionate, thoughtful decisions, so I can't be mad at people listening to hear our president thank God in a Thanksgiving address. 

But, I don't understand the conservative outrage about the president's remarks.  He did invoke God in his Internet address and earlier in the week thanked God.  How many more times does he need to say God to please his critics?  Yea, these are the same people who still believe he's a Muslim who was born in Africa or the ocean or wherever.

What is more, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum issued Thanksgiving statements from their respective campaigns that omitted any references to God.  And what's even more, our last president thanked God and then told us that Iraq was store housing weapons of mass destruction and then sent thousands of American troops to the country, a good chunk of whom would never return home.

President Obama is not perfect.  He has made a few missteps in his presidency (all of which he has owned up to, incidentally).  However, failing to invoke God's name or thank God this Thanksgiving, isn't one of those missteps. 

Surely, the president's critics can gain more steam by focusing on one of those issues...can't they?
