Glad we got this one cleared up.

GOP: 'In God We Trust' bill needed to remind President Obama
By Pete Kasperowicz - 11/01/11 05:41 PM ET
The Republican sponsor of a resolution reaffirming that "In God We Trust" is the national motto of the U.S. said his legislation is needed because President Obama and other public officials often forget that designation.

"Unfortunately, there are a number of public officials who forget what the national motto is, whether intentionally or unintentionally," Rep. Randy Forbes (R-Va.) said in late Tuesday afternoon debate in the House. "There are those who become confused as to whether or not it can still be placed on our buildings, whether it can be placed in our school classrooms.

At a loss for real news, today, kalm?

The religious - Moron suckers who fell for the world greatest scam. They're not only proud of this fact, but they want everyone to know about it.

Not at all. Just really really glad that Republicans can take a short break from their busy job creating schedule to debate and pass this important peace of legislation!

Although I do think we need a new national motto. Got any ideas?

Or, one of my favorite lines from a Harvard fight song: Illegitimum non carborundum. I need not translate.

well, if the donks can spend months worrying about passing an unnecessary healthcare bill while people look for work, this falls right in line with that way of thinking.

Nah, it's a valid rebuttal.

I agree - pretty decent comparison. The ability of both parties to waste time while real problems go by without notice is pretty amazing. It's almost like they both do it on purpose.

yeah - ya know... following through on one of your biggest campaign promises and 50 years of fighting on an issue effecting the daily lives of 50+ million Americans - right on par with a finger in the eye resolution about God... yep... apples to apples...

Did he make that promise before, as, or after the economy really started to tank? Did that promise include anything like single payer? Have your health care costs gone down? How about your insurance bill? Could fixing healthcare have waited until after he included the tax cuts on 1/3 of the stimulus bill and after his justice department prosecuted the banksters and after he and his majority congress enacted meaningful bank reform?

I always thought "E PLURIBUS UNUM" was our motto. POLITICS AND RELIGION SHOULD NEVER MEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes and no. Both parties are ****, but the Dems have preservatives mixed in.

It's great that Congress can get off their collective lazy good-for BS asses and debate shit like this.

From someone who's almost never with Obama, I am in this case: "God would want Congress to get to work on putting more Americans back to work"

Campaign 469 - vote 'em ALL out!!!

Passing a bill and fixing something are two entirely different things. Yes, he passed a health care bill. But no, he didn't fix the health care problem. I don't recall any campaign promises about passing through a series of bills that, in the end, don't fix the overall problem. And, like Kalm said, in something I actually agree with him on, doing all of this while standing on the sidelines in his best Nero impression and playing the fiddle while the economy burned. Obama's first year in office and his complete ineffectiveness in that year, and almost all entirely due to his inability to manage the Democratic leaders in Congress who really drove the agenda, is the main reason why he's in the mess he's in. Playing around with a solution for health care that, in the end, didn't solve anything, was a waste of time.

I agree with you way more than you think you disagree with me.

I really don't think we disagree that much at all, but it does come up from time to time.

This is the work of God, it is his will, God is great!
