Why should Obama pay any attention to the right-wing knuckledraggers?
Because they are citizens of the USA. He is the President of the USA.
Not the President for Democrats only.

In God We Trust.

Trouble is, I don't believe Obama believe in god. Christianity is a
mater of convenience for him. At best, sin for six and repent for one
type.

1. I have no idea what is in Obama's heart and mind regarding "god."
Neither do you.

You can tell a lot about how they perform. Christianity isn't about
Sundays. While it isn't as ccult like a Muslim, it does show a way of
walking through life. If someone isn't on that path, it shows in time.

2. Christianity is a "matter of convenience" for most of the "Christians"
who post here and, as a matter of fact, who don't post at all. I have
encountered very few "Christians" who actually follow and live the
teachings of Jesus.

Agreed. But it isn't just a Christian shortcoming either.

3. There isn't a scintilla of proof that god exists or gives a god damn
about anyone who is here now or who was here in the past.

I believe that is why they call it faith.

4. I am positive that it is impossible to be a follower of the teachings
of Jesus and a political right-winger.

I beg to differ. Part of being a christian is to repect others. I am not
particularly religious but I do believe in the morals it teaches. I view my
neighbor as my brother, not my advisary. I believe in fairness over bias.

So when it takes so long to help a hostage and you can help, but politics is
more important I don't see that as a christian way of thinking.

When you justify GM bailouts with BS, taking from so many Americans to
bailout the the so few, I call it theft.

At one point I even liked Obama, but his actions appear as arrogance and
hypocracy.

Part of many religions includes respect for others. There's nothing
unique about that. And the bit about being one's brother's (or
neighbor's) keeper was written down long before there was Christianity.

I doubt religion or religious beliefs had anything to do with the rescue
of the crew or the captain of that U.S. flagged vessel. I'm sure all the
critical decisions were made by the military officers on the spot, and
that includes the schedule.

There's a chance GM and Chrysler may emerge as viable companies,
providing employment to hundreds of thousands of American workers
at the car companies, their suppliers, and their dealerships. I'd rather
do what it takes to take *that* chance than watch the previous
administration **** away my tax dollars on idiotic foreign adventures in
Iraq, where the outcome is certain to be a failed nation-state.

Nothing Obama has done even begins to compete with the arrogance and
hypocrisy of the Bush Administration.

Well then, you must have worshipped Bush, eh?
