He made short work of it! Almost as good as God creating the earth in six days, really.

Now if he could find some patriotic (tax-paying) cabinet nominees…the first Jesus actually picked a few tax collectors for His cabinet. The Second Coming must have gotten his wires crossed because he instead chose a few tax cheats.

I still can’t believe the Senate confirmed a Treasury Secretary who couldn’t properly do his taxes. Secretary of he TREASURY! Can’t. Do. His. Own. Taxes!

The Jesus parallels are abundant. Two years ago Colts owner Jim Irsay “gave all the glory to God” after the Colts’ win. This year, who is the first person winning Steelers owner Dan Rooney thanks? President Obama. Bizarre.

This idolatry is surreal, especially coming from the left, who for eight years so ominously warned us that America was one step away from being a “theocracy.”

Get serious. “Obama-mania” is little more than overly-optimistic hero worship. Theocracy has nothing to do with hero worship, it’s government by “divine” guidance — when the President declares war because a god told him to do so, when he creates an “office of faith-based initiatives” to dump public money into religious organizations, taking it away from the proper, secular functions of government, when he holds weekly policy meetings with prominent religious leaders (but only evangelical Christians, mind you), when he actively courts those who have explicitly stated a desire for Christian theocracy and an intent to bring it about, that’s a whole different story.

“I, George Walker Bush, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Bush was a disgrace — he put his bible ahead of the Constitution he swore to uphold.
