be fair, he is not my favorite either however
trust me any mention of
God would have been met with sneers and jeers.
u underestimate the nasty public that call themselves the american people.
Does this tell us anything? It sure does me. He has some speech writers who just don't want to bring God into anything at all. It may behoove him to start looking at what they put on the teleprompter.
"reflect on the BLESSINGS that enrich our lives"
(From Whom do you think blessings come from?)
"give thanks for the PROVIDENCE bestowed upon us."
(Providence means divine (as in from God) guidance or care
"the spirit of GRACE and humility at the heart of Thanksgiving"
(Grace is unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification or virtue coming from God or a state of sanctification enjoyed through divine grace)
"When President George Washington proclaimed our country's first Thanksgiving, he praised a generous and knowing GOD"
(That one speaks for itself)
"Decades later, President Abraham Lincoln looked to the DIVINE"
(also speaks for itself)
"we have lifted our hearts by giving humble thanks for the BLESSINGS"
(There's "blessings" again)
"we give thanks to each other and to GOD"
(There's the G word again)
" I encourage the people of the United States to come together whether in our homes, places of WORSHIP, community centers, or any place of fellowship for friends and neighbors"

GOOD! What EXACTLY would you thank your "god' for?
The loss of jobs?
The crashed economy?
The fact we have more poor, richer rich , and less middle class ?
Executive pay going up 23%? (Oh, ya, Repugs WOULD give thanks for that....except their ONLY god is The Wealthy !!!
Go find a priest if ya NEED someone to say "god" in your face!!!!!!!!!!!(Preferably not one of those christian child rapers)
Wow, what a surprise, more Christian bashing from the "tolerant" liberal left. And I thank my "God" for all the good things I've been given, my family, the gift of living another day, instead of whining about what I don't have, or what others have. On a side note I could care less if the POTUS is an atheist, a muslim, or a buddist as long as he does a decent job of running the country.

Honestly a few so-called christians could stand to get bashed.
