Obama Doesn't Explicitly Mention God; Thanksgiving Ruined Forever

Quote:

Critics of President Obama felt little holiday cheer after the president did not thank God in his Thanksgiving-themed weekly Internet address. They immediately took to Twitter and the Internet to voice anger and disbelief.

"Holy cow! Is that one screwed up or what?" columnist Sherman Frederick of the Las Vegas Review-Journal wrote in a Thanksgiving-morning blog post.

"Somebody ought to remind Obama (and his speechwriter) that when Americans sit down around a meal today and give thanks, they give thanks to God."

The USA is going to hell because Obama didn't thank God, apparently.

(I didn't put this in News because it's so incredibly stupid, why would you report this crap.)

What if he got his food from Satan?

I give thanks to the people who made the food and to Abraham Lincoln for making Thanksgiving a holiday. Who else would I thank?

The president has no power to dictate what everyone in the country should be thankful for. Who does Sherman Frederick think Obama is, the queen?

He should say something about God once every sentence, it's just common sense.

So that he doesn't forget to remind Americans that they do?

He can fail to thank god and be a godless heathen, or he can thank god and be shoving religion down all our throats. Everybody's a critic and there's no winning move except not to play.

The best part is that he did both. He referred to God in his written Thanksgiving proclamation.

The obvious and factually indisputable interpretation is that Christian Republicans can't read.

The writer of the article must be new to Twitter. People take to Twitter and other social networks and get angry over the most mundane shit. I think that's the primary function of a social network, actually.

I believe FDR set Thanksgiving to the fourth Thursday of November, so there's that perhaps.
