President’s remarks at faith-based and community initiatives conference. Some highlights:
“God loves you, and I love you. And you can count on both of us as a powerful message that people who wonder about their future can hear. It’s a powerful message.”
“…there are so many people doing God’s work. And let me put your mind at ease, we’re talking about healing our nation, we’re not talking politics.”
and finally, the best for last:
“We want to make sure the church and the states stay separate.”
Amen brother… It all makes sense to me now, after three years in the White House. You are going to achieve separation of church and state by giving public funds to private religious organizations… oh and by praying really hard too? Now the rest falls into place:
* Just like we are going to accomplish peace through war.
* Just like we are going to achieve economic health by spending more and taxing less.
* Just like we are going to lower unemployment by allowing the unregulated export of both low paying and high paying jobs.
* Just like we are going to achieve corporate responsibility by appointing formerly irresponsible business leaders to enforce new policy.
* Just like how we are going to eliminate teen pregnancy, disease and pre-marital sex by eliminating sex education and eventually, access to birth control.
* Just like we are going to cure social security insolvency by ignoring it.
How utterly simple and singularly brilliant. The sheer elegance of this strategy is overwhelming and beautiful. By stating the goal and doing the exact opposite thing one could possibly do to achieve that goal, the goal itself becomes irrelevant. The genius of this strategy is beyond proper words.
And his supporters are waning quickly… Perhaps this is what his religious and corporate handlers are telling him to do to win the next election. By angering his dwindling supporters into not voting at all, he’ll win. Won’t that be fun?
