A Bitter Obama
So, how will he back out of this one? Just who will he throw under the bus as he does another one of his political two-step dances trying to explain away his own lack of faith basis?
If you haven’t heard yet, Senator Obama is back at it again as controversy swirls around yet another religion comment. First it was his connection with a man he calls his mentor, Rev. Wright. Now the Senator said over the weekend that the only thing the bitter people in Smalltown USA have is faith and religion. In other words, the only people who need religion and faith, are bitter people. Of course Senator Obama was quickly called to task on this. Then he tried to explain it away by saying what he meant to say is the only people who need faith are people facing hard times and are bitter.
In other words, it appears in Senator Obama’s world, religion and faith is nothing more than a crutch. He went on to say that “religion is a bullwork and foundation only needed when things aren’t going well.”
Hmmmm, isn’t that interesting. Maybe the Senator, who does claim to be a religious man, needs to spend some time in Jeremiah where we’re told “God has plans to prosper us, not harm us, giving us hope for the future.” Or how about Paul who tells us time and time again that “hope does not disappoint.” But wait a minute, I thought Senator Obama was running on a platform of hope. Maybe in his world he’s the only one with hope.
Just my two cents,
