This is stirring a lot of heat. What Obama should be doing is inserting 'Thanking God' back in the Thanksgiving Address. To do so would be respecting the founders traditions and heritage.President Washington thanked God in 1789. President Washington and all of the other Founders did everything they could to secure the blessings of God for our country. What Obama has done is shear blasphemy: For Fourth Straight Year, Obama's Thanksgiving Message Doesn't Thank God

I'm not a big Obama guy, but why should he thank god in his Thanksgiving address? And, if he does, how does that make the speech any more effective? How is it even relevant?
The idea of god and religion is a somewhat divisive concept here in the US, and I think a Thanksgiving free of any sort of White House-sponsored religious addresses would be a good thing.

Yeah...
Not mentioning a god is a blaspheme
Not believing in a god a religion
