It is instructive just to see the headlines of various news articles over the past few years. Democrats, rightfully in my view, became known as the party that is hostile to religion. Democrats will dispute that, but they no doubt sought to undo the perception.
When Kerry was losing to George W. Bush, “Closing the “religion gap'” and “Kerry seeks to close a perceived ‘God gap”.
Afterwards, the Democrats finally acknowledged that they had a problem. “Not God’s Party.” Their solution? Talk about religion more. Don’t change their party platform that supports queers and abortion and bureaucracy, just mouth platitudes and quote the Bible.
As Obama ran for president. “Obama reaches out to religious voters.” Oh, gee, look at the clean and articulate black man, with his pretty family as he goes to church. Shucks, isn’t that swell? Just like the Cosby kids!
Not everybody was that gullible. [Though Obama’s purpose was not to fool all the people, just enough to close the gap and get him elected.] “Obama’s Religious Ruse: The Cult of the Marxist Messiah,” the author pointed out:
After the presidential election: “Obama results show gains in key religious voters.” “How Obama lured millions of religious voters.”
After he was elected, he did not go to church for an entire year. “Obama church attendance has fallen since election.” “Obama tones down national day of prayer service” [by not even showing up.] And his poll numbers have plummeted. Not because he did not attend church, but because he was ineffectual and because he was supporting radical ideas that are rejected by a majority of the people.
But he does still have a “God gap.” So recently, Obama has discovered religion again. Today he went to the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. Coincidentally (wink wink), today the Washington Post ran a puff piece meant to blow smoke up the ass of “religious voters.”
Obama’s spirituality is largely private, but it’s influential, advisers say
Yeah, right. And I’ve got some ocean front property to sell you just west of Richmond, Virginia…
I have no idea if Obama is a Christian, or if he is, what his beliefs are. All I’m saying is that this is pure political posturing. He is putting on a show to curry favor with certain religious voters. And I for one ain’t buying it.
