The Epistle of St. Ben

Not content to rewrite history, Obama’s minions are now trying to rewrite the Bible.
From today’s briefing:

MR. CARNEY: Well, I believe the phrase from the Bible* is, “The Lord helps those who help themselves.” And I think the point the President is making is that we should -- we have it within our capacity to do the things to help the American people.

The White House adds in the official transcript:

* This common phrase does not appear in the Bible.
The phrase has been variously attributed to Benjamin Franklin and to one of Aesop’s Fables. There is a rumor going around that the proverb appeared by virtue of divine agency on a miraculous scorecard God handed down to Obama on the golf course, but I’ve been unable to substantiate it.

And yet, only a couple of days ago, President Zero was complaining about the House worrying over "In God We Trust" instead of his bill.

As if, y'know, Obama is cherry picking his religious quotes.

Imagine that.

I swear, I am starting to suffer Obama burnout. It's getting to the point that I'm no longer affected by the raging stupidity of this President, and his minions. It seems everyday they outdo themselves, reaching new heights of outrageousness.

I'm beginning to think it's their plan to get the Dick reelected. Get conservatives so disgusted that they just give up, and stop fighting.

I'm this close to unplugging from the World's Wicked Web, putting my TVs in the barn, stocking up on ammo, and waiting for the zombies to attack.

This is typical of Washington insiders, quoting from a book they've never read. But then, they pass laws they've never read too, so why are we surprised?
