What? No Easter Greeting?

 

by Keith Koffler

April 25, 2011

 

 

 

Just when I thought the current team running the White House might have used up all its allotted mistakes comes word that President Obama failed to issue either an Easter or a Good Friday greeting to the nation.

 

Now, let’s forget for a moment that these greetings, which presidents issue on many holidays and commemorations of events, are largely perfunctory and symbolic gestures that nobody much cares about.

 

Until there’s a problem with them.

 

[color:red]Fox News first caught the blunder and put it into context that makes the omission insulting to Christians. The mistake is odd enough to call into question just what Obama’s priorities are.

 

By comparison, the White House has released statements recognizing the observance of major Muslim holidays and released statements in 2010 on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha.[/color]

 

The White House . . . did release an eight-paragraph statement heralding Earth Day. Likewise, the president’s weekend address mentioned neither Good Friday or Easter.

 

Obama, Fox notes, did head out to church yesterday and held an Easter prayer breakfast at the White House last week.

 

Obama is on a roll for religious holiday greeting screw ups. Fox News writes:

 

In 2010, Obama was criticized for releasing an all-inclusive Easter greeting. He reached out to Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and people of no faith at all in a statement about a holiday that is uniquely Christian.

 

And as I noted last week, the president released a Passover greeting this month that compared the ancient Jewish exodus from Egypt to the Arab political awakening this year, which would be a beautiful thing if most Arabs didn’t seek Israel’s destruction.

 

The president is, of course, hosting the Easter Egg Roll at the White House today. But Easter isn’t really about rolling eggs on a manicured lawn, now is it?

 

 

Does this guy really want to be reelected? :surprised:

Obama a quick study on creating commissions

 

 

 

As a candidate for president, Barack Obama called study commissions created by politicians "Washington-speak for we'll get back to you later."

 

He mocked his Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, for suggesting a commission study the Wall Street meltdown, saying, "We don't need a commission to tell us how we got into this mess, we need a president who will lead us out of this mess, and that's the kind of president I intend to be."

 

But President Obama has already created about two dozen study commissions, blue-ribbon panels and task forces of his own -- roughly one a month since he took office -- to study not only major economic issues but childhood obesity, Hispanics and the middle class.

 

Most recently, Obama announced he was creating a commission to investigate whether manipulation of the oil markets was causing gas prices to soar. Attorney General Eric Holder pledged Friday that the Oil and Gas Price Fraud Working Group would "help protect American consumers from unnecessary pain at the pump due to illegal activity."

 

Obama largely ignored the recommendations of another panel, his deficit-reduction commission, in his 2012 budget proposal. But then he appointed a new panel to negotiate a final budget with congressional Republicans.

Really, you can't do any better than that? The intertubes derail such bullshit lies quite effectively. You should use it for more than just porn LOL!

 

Obama hosted an Easter prayer breakfast last week, during which he told attendees the following:

 

[color:purple]"I wanted to host this breakfast for a simple reason -- because as busy as we are, as many tasks as pile up, during this season, we are reminded that there's something about the resurrection -- something about the resurrection of our savior, Jesus Christ, that puts everything else in perspective.

 

"We all live in the hustle and bustle of our work... But then comes Holy Week. The triumph of Palm Sunday. The humility of Jesus washing the disciples' feet. His slow march up that hill, and the pain and the scorn and the shame of the cross. And we're reminded that in that moment, he took on the sins of the world -- past, present and future -- and he extended to us that unfathomable gift of grace and salvation through his death and resurrection.

 

"In the words of the book Isaiah: "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

 

"This magnificent grace, this expansive grace, this 'Amazing Grace' calls me to reflect. And it calls me to pray. It calls me to ask God for forgiveness for the times that I've not shown grace to others, those times that I've fallen short. It calls me to praise God for the gift of our son -- his Son and our Savior."[/color]

 

Put it this way: Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha didn't get this kind of treatment, even tho' we supposedly are a secular nation and treat all religions equally.

 

The other point to keep in mind is that George W. Bush was in office for eight years. So just how many Easter proclamations do you think that supposedly fundie "pious" jerk issue?

 

Zero. And being an atheist, I congratulate him for that.

I can't imagine anybody with more than 2 brain cells voting for Barry this time around.

Well, the GOP is so shit scared of him they STILL have no viable candidates willing to run (WTF's with all the "exploratory committees?" A money grab from the HH-like sheep? Likely.) They are several months late declaring, given historical timings. :rotl:

 

And the more the RNC sucks Paul Ryan's cock over his "budget plan," the more votes they lose. Life is quite good right now, for us anti-GOPers.

Ahhh come on, you can do better then that!

 

Who was it that was behind renewing GWB's tax cuts?

 

Who was it that followed thru with GWB's bailout of the auto industry?

 

Who was it that followed thru with GWB's bailout of Wall Street?

 

 

You got it! The black skinny guy. (he really is playing both sides of the court.)

Not really. Just a mistake of some staffer who is supposed to be on top of the voodoo religious shit and PC stuff. I'd say OB's priorities are tilted toward much more important things than the Great Pumpkin and it may have slipped his mind, but it was the responsibility of a staffer who fucked up I would think. But, yeah, let's use this silliness to bash the man some more and try to prove he is a muslim radical cunt and not a 'true' Xtian fruitcake full of nuts. The press is full of wankers who need to make some more news. Good catch Faux News. Christ these people are such dipshits. Anything to bash the man with. Truly pathetic.

 

(Not aimed at you, Flasher. Just the faux news people and others who try to use this sort of cock up against the man. Jeezus.)
