Last election, President Barack Obama presented himself to the people as the reincarnation of Martin Luther King Jr. This election he seems to have re-invented himself as an Apostle of Christ claiming, at the National Prayer Breakfast last week, that his economic policies are in line with Jesus’ teachings. He has thus gone from the laughable to the blasphemous.
Obama pales in comparison to King — does he really think that Jesus sanctions his anti-life policies of contraception, homosexuality and abortion? Does he really believe that the murdering of innocent children through abortion is good for the economy? Whose economy? On top of that he has the twisted audacity to suggest those who oppose his anti-life policies are chattels to a “phoney religiosity.” Citizens, don’t be fooled again!
Should we give Obama another term? If so, recall that “You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. That’s the signpost up ahead — your next stop, the Twilight Zone!”

This is why we need a universal health care plan! Poor Rick can't afford his anti-psychotic medications, and this is what happens!

Perhaps a comment that adds to the conversation would be in order here rather than a cynical slap in Mr. Martin's face just because you disagree with him. I totally agree with Mr. Martin that Barak Obama pulls the 'I am a Christian' out of the closet whenever he feels he may be falling behind in the polls. Most of Mr. Obama's policies are so far from Christ that they are blasphemous.

Given your previous letters and comments, I don't know if you can claim any authority on what constitutes blasphemy and what doesn't.
It always seems like the most ardent Christians know the least about their holy book.
If everyone had full access to contraception
(which insurers don't provide, even though, weirdly, they DO cover prescriptions for Viagra)there would be a lot fewer abortions. It's just common sense.
It's silly to expect any president or presidential candidate to insist that people who don't want to have kids should be celibate, even if they're married.
