Obama shares Scripture

[Cow Poke]

I think he's been reading my book of Hesitations!

[Sparko]

Derp!

"Don't throw stones in glass houses!"

Which "good book" did he get that from?

He also tried to tie in Mary and Joseph with immigration. I don't recall them being immigrants since they were traveling BACK to where Joseph was from for the census.

Derp!

"Don't throw stones in glass houses!" .

He even mangled the quote, BESIDES attributing it to "the good book".

Wonder why he called it "the good book" instead of saying "the bible?"

Maybe he meant Aesops Fables or something.

I think he was trying to be folksy.

I think he was trying to be folksy.

Or maybe he couldn't remember that the name of "the good book" was "the Holy Bible"

Or he didn't want to offend any other religion by using the name "Bible"

I've heard it referred to as "the good book" before--I just figured it was kind of a colloquial term for it. Kind of like saying "the good Lord."

Yeah, that's why I think Obama was trying to be "folksy" -- to tame down his perceived "dictator" image.

I've heard the same. It's just that coming from him it rings of falsity.

What dictator image? He'd have to be competent first! Isn't he naive about stuff?

[Sparko]

well as the good book says, "God helps those who help themselves."

Ben Franklin! I think. Or Aesop's fables!

Forrest Gump!

and as the good book says, "You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose. But, you can't wipe your friends on the couch."
