    More is expected from the fortunate. Where in the Constitution are these words?

    And the top 25% of incomes pay 87.3% of the total income tax now. $8 dollars of every $9 income tax dollars collected.

    And the next 24% most fortunate pay the remaining 12.7% of total income tax.

    And the 51% least fortunate, BUT STILL EARNING AN INCOME, pay nothing, and get $59,000,000,000.00 in EITC rebates. [$59 BILLION]

    So how much more is expected from the most fortunate?

    Amen to that. The Bible clearly states in the NT who qualifies as the needy. And they sure don't own a flashy car, flat screen tvs and expensive tennies.

    He did his aunt & brother, for sure, who are living here illegally and in poverty. Why isn't he, a millionaire, helping his family? Believe me, if he was, he'd be on tv, bragging about his generosity, the 'goodness' in his heart, etc...

    About Racist Wrong, I wouldn't be surprised if there was an agreement of no contact w/his mentor and 'uncle' until after he's out of the WH - or there may still be communication b/t the 2..... we don't know, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was....

    I just don't trust anything abut Obama.... he's a pathological liar......

    No, it's called being responsible with other people's money, something that is completely foreign to you liberals.

    Think how much better it would be for the poor if liberals gave the same as conservatives give, because conservatives out give liberals 2 to 1. Pay your fair share liberal, don't be a tightwad like Obama.

    Conservative ideology offers the poor a hand up instead of a hand out.

    Where does that leave the privately religious, publicly secular voter to say nothing of the atheists?

    In this regard, President Obama is rejecting a long standing liberal tradition of separating church and state. Why is it that folks are being selective as to whether or when to uphold the 1st Amendment?

    Ubama misinterprets the Bible, which is not a surprise.

    He gave 1% of his money to charity. Minimum is 10%...yet he considers himself a good Christian???

    Having money taken from you by gun point in the form of taxes to give to others is not charity.

    Charity is when you give because you want to.

    Then deal with rationality. The 1st Amendment prohibits an establishment of religion by the state. President Obama will necessarily disregard this if he implements a religious commandment by law.

    Some love b.o. for no rational reason, the rest of us love the USA. And hate anyone trying to destroy the USA whether by plan or by incompetence. And now we have an incompetent clown fool idiot that is trying to destroy the USA by both plan and incompetence.

    I couldn't disagree more. The President rarely invokes religion, and when he does he is voicing a common progressive vision of how we would like our faith to impact public policy. There are alot of us, and many of them sit in the pew next to you on Sunday.
    The previous president pushed his faith in our faces constantly, made it almost a daily public spectacle, which Jesus chided the Pharisees for. Obama primarily makes his faith his personal journey, and occaisionally comments on it in public. The event of the prayer breakfast seems an apropos opportunity.
    I find it interesting that the right wing Christian finds it acceptable to bring their faith into the policy arena when discussing someone's reproductive rights or sexuality, but when it comes to the economy that is hands off. Where you put your treasure is where your heart will be. Why so covetous of the cash, kids?

    I didn't hear him say he wanted to implement any rligious commandment BY LAW (unlike the extreme right who want to implement their religious commandment on women and gay people by law!)

    What i heard him say is that those having been given much have much togive, and that this falls well in line with Christian beliefs.

    Can you argue that?
