This is not a big deal. Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday, it's about as secular a holiday as you can get.

Thanksgiving isn't some kind if exclusive Christian holiday.

It's an American holiday.

So who cares. More manufactured faux outrage from the loony Right.

Well done Why would anyone thank imaginary beings for the accomplishments, or blame them for the failures of human beings, let alone for mere coincidences?
Jesus, those Christians suck, sometimes the US seems like the Christian counterpart of Iran

In case you missed the memo, the US is not a theocracy. Want one, try Iran.
I hear it's nice there for people who believe in theocracies.
Obama thanked the 'sky daddy' in his Thanksgiving Proclamation--- "As we gather in our communities and in our homes, around the table or near the hearth, we give thanks to each other and to God for the many kindnesses and comforts that grace our lives."

Does his godless speech counter his theocratic proclamation.

True Christians don't need to wear their religion on their sleeves and shout it out to impress/coddle/appease anyone at Fox News for others to know what's in their hearts. This manufactured outrage over everything Obama is getting old.

You're right. It would be something unheard of, to you, for a Muslim to address God.

Islamic Fundamentalists... meet our Christian Fanatics.

yes, its faux outrage. RWNJ have only that to cling to because they can't see that their leaders are the ones that cause the problems.

Glad to hear it! God should be kept out of any speech made by elected officials.
I wouldn't call the disappointed ones 'wise folks', just smugly self-righteous.

Probably not because Faux didn't retract.

Obama wasn't alone now was he? "Gods" have no place in the political arena. Keep your fairytales behind the closed doors of your cult.
Well I guess that ends that
