Obama Botches Bible Verse at Prayer Breakfast

President Obama misquoted a familiar Bible verse during a faith-based address at the National Prayer Breakfast.

"Those who wait on the Lord will soar on wings like eagles, and they will run and not be weary, and they will walk and not faint," the president said during a speech to several thousand people at the breakfast.

But the actual passage, from Isaiah 40:31, states: "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

Actually, Isaiah 40:31 states:

לא וְקוֹיֵ יְהוָה יַחֲלִיפוּ כֹחַ, יַעֲלוּ אֵבֶר כַּנְּשָׁרִים; יָרוּצוּ וְלֹא יִיגָעוּ, יֵלְכוּ וְלֹא יִיעָפוּ. {ס}

The Threat of Intelligent, Articulate Oratory

Straw Man in Chief

Historian Victor Davis Hansen likens President Obama to the Wizard of Oz, a fraud behind a curtain in one of the most recent of his anti-Obama columns. He claims the "messianic spell" has been broken. After a round of shrill accusations like:

no president in 78 years has done more to incite class resentment, envy, and polarization—and that fact is as shocking as the sun rising in the morning...

he complains of others criticizing former presidents with the line "(a)nd are not we all tired of such empty superlatives?"

Scariest Job?

CNBC's list of America's scariest jobs should have included President of the United States. The job was fatal for many, and you've got nut jobs all over the world claiming you're the antichrist, possessed or an Islamo-communist racist.

Better Living Through Corprotocracy

George Will recently offered a column about "The Democratic Vision of Big Brother." He, like the teabaggers, is concerned about the totalitarian nature of Obamacare and fascistic banning of the incandescent light bulb scheduled to occur in a few years.

According to freedom loving Glenn Beck conservatives, the Constitution has been shredded and a Big Kenyan Racist Brother is trampling over the freedoms of full blooded Americans. Right thinking Americans want a WHITE Big Brother building electrified fences, invading oil rich countries in the name of peace, enhancing interrogations, establishing military tribunals, and protecting the Homeland from undesirable elements.

There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Taxed Enough Already?

A USA Today article from last spring points out that tax bills in 2009 were the lowest since 1950. "Amid complaints about high taxes and calls for a smaller government, Americans paid their lowest level of taxes last year since Harry Truman's presidency, a USA TODAY analysis of federal data found."
