Obama Lectures America: Keep Christ’s Words in Our Deeds this Christmas… Then He Jets Off to Hawaii For 17 Days
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, December 5, 2011, 12:12 PM
Barack Obama lectured America to “keep Christ’s words not only in our thoughts but in our deeds” this Christmas.
CNS News reported:
President Barack Obama said in a speech delivered Thursday evening that Americans should ponder the words of Jesus Christ this Christmas season and make their actions conform to them.
“So long as the gifts and the parties are happening, it’s important for us to keep in mind the central message of this season, and keep Christ’s words not only in our thoughts, but also in our deeds.”
Obama was speaking on the Ellipse in front of the White House at the ceremony for the lighting of the national Christmas tree.
“More than 2,000 years ago, a child was born to two faithful travelers who could find rest only in a stable, among the cattle and the sheep,” said Obama. “But this was not just any child. Christ’s birth made the angels rejoice and attracted shepherds and kings from afar. He was a manifestation of God’s love for us. And He grew up to become a leader with a servant’s heart who taught us a message as simple as it is powerful: that we should love God, and love our neighbor as ourselves…
…“So long as the gifts and the parties are happening, it’s important for us to keep in mind the central message of this season, and keep Christ’s words not only in our thoughts, but also in our deeds,” said Obama.
Then he jetted off to Hawaii for 17 days.
Woo-Hoo!

I’m surprised Obama didn’t make a reference to Jesus being born 2000 years ago during Occupy Bethlehem when the 1% forced them into a barn.
RedBeard commented:
Every word in Obama’s statement that would indicate he is a man of Christian faith is a lie, including “and” and “the.”

Help me. Tell me it isn’t so, but all I hear from him is this:
More than 2,000 years ago, a child was born to two [fellow] travelers who could find rest only in a stable, among the cattle and the sheep,” said Obama. “But this was not just any child. [My] birth made the angels rejoice and attracted shepherds and kings from afar. [I am] a manifestation of God’s love for us. And [I] grew up to become a leader with a servant’s heart who taught [you] a message as simple as it is powerful: that we should love God, and love our neighbor as ourselves…

pandering to bitter -clingers……………Election coming……..just saying
Molon Labe commented:
Were these words addressed to those who were bitterly clinging to their religion? Get rid of this Muslim, bastard, Narxist, homo.
Alana commented:
That’s an awful lot of Christian talking coming from this sophisticated atheist type. He must be worried about reelection.
BS-meter commented:
Don’t hold it against him, Alana. He was just reading whatever was on the teleprompter.
middleagedhousewife commented:
My first thought when his extended Hawaiin vacay was first announced was for those Secret Service folks that have to go with him? Don’t they get to be home with their families at Christmas? After all, he’s where he wants to be so why can’t he at least extend the same courtesy to them? He’s not due back til after New Year, I think. Sheesh, way to dump on the very people who secure your life, (insert favorite nasty name here)!!
patman commented:
The photo shows Obama not walking on water, but rather fighting it’s tide…
David commented:
Now let’s see what can go wrong. Here are some possibilities
a) he goes into the water and a shark eats him
b) he goes to the Kalapana lava viewing area, there is a major eruption and lava lands on him
c) he eats a poisonous coconut
d) he accidentally bumps into one of his old drug dealers who is owed some money
e) Moochelle goes into the water, there is a tidal wave and BHO is swept away
Unfortunately wishful thinking!!!!!!
Texas_Treeroach commented:
#9 has nailed it, unfortunately.
Obama is a Pretty-Boy Alinsky puppet operated by the Socialist machine.
The instruction manual is quite simple:
Stick a hand up his back, work his lips and say whatever you want.
(It’s a shame, though, that he gives all of the other puppets, marionettes and dummies a bad name)
averagemelon commented:
I know enough about Christ to not need instruction coming from the lips of this antichrist who calls himself our president.
Jenny commented:
President Whatshisname – Here’s my Christmas message; Bite Me.
Edrico commented:
It is worth noting that the reason the “faithful travelers” were travelling in the first place was because of a goverment-mandated census, for tax purposes, requiring that everyone return to their home town to register.
squeaky commented:
the Bush’s spent Christmas at Camp David….cheaper travel cost and their staff would be near their families…….
[Washington, D.C. – Nevada Senator Harry Reid today announced that the team headed by the Nevada State Office of Energy (NSOE) was selected as one of 22 nationwide winners in the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Rooftop Solar Challenge to focus on expediting the installation of residential and commercial solar energy and create even more clean energy jobs in Nevada.] i wonder how solar power companies projected to go bankrupt will play into harry’s scheme?

Is he talking about Sarah Palin?
Barky, Jesus grew up to sacrifice himself on the cross for our sins. That’s what he’s most famous for, dip$#!+.
Alana commented:
lol, David!
kansas commented:
He’s supposed to be in Osawatomie Kansas tomorrow a 1 PM. Maybe he’ll be jetting off as he hasn’t jetted off yet.
Dittogirl commented:
Maybe he should go first instead of lecturing us on Christ, the Lord….such as…
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house,
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
As far as I am concerned, he has committed all of the obove..so in other words..Mr. Oblahblah..maybe its time to shut the hell up, for you are nothing to most of us.
God Bless Us All and Protect Us From This Monster! Save Our Nation. Amen!
Obama the peesident commented:
“and keep Christ’s words not only in our thoughts, but also in our deeds.” I hate Jesus — Obama. Screw that little sucka, I only pray to myself, and my army of legions bow to my command. No republican can defeat me, you are all devided. LOLZ. I will steal more than 15.7 trillion suckas. and I will blame it on you pacifist wealklings.

I’m just an average middle class guy and I donated more money to chairty than his VP did. But, I gotta admit, as the cost of living continues to rise (gas, food, utilities, etc) my chairtable giving will go down.
“28 of the 29 “most generous” states are Red States”
Multitude commented:
What the hell does it mean to have words in our deeds? Is that sort of like the illusion of seeing words floating in space on a teleprompter? Or perhaps Barry is referring to how Michelle is always looking for words on the clothes she is given that have some fancy name that means they’re $2500 t-shirts instead of $10?
I’d swear this guy can’t even fake faking it. Anyone who is impressed by this remarkably lousy faux intellectual act has got to be embarrassed.
Captain Chaos commented:
If Obama knew Christ, he’d be in Church begging for forgiveness, asking the country for forgiveness then resigning.
wanumba commented:
No mention that Christ is God.
city boy commented:
This chapter and verse Islamic belief. “There is no god but god..god had no son allah is god” Barry sings the muslim song Christ was a prophet. ..thats it. Islam is predicated on a lie….God had no Son….Jesus was not who he said he was….Jesus was a great prophet….the law of non contradiction say s two truths cannot occupy the same space. Never does Barry say Jesus was the Son of God….just a manifestation….hogwash! The very essence of Christianity is Jesus IS the Son of God
KR commented:
Christ’s most common topics when preaching was hell and relying on material wealth instead of God.
There is a very large log in Obama’s eye.
INC commented:
Obama doesn’t have Christ’s words in his thoughts—he obviously is unfamiliar with what Christ said, because by his deeds Obama has shown that he neither loves God nor loves his neighbor. He neither obeys God nor does he care for his neighbor (not even some members of his family!).
When I read this I couldn’t help but think of John the Baptist’s words about bearing fruit in keeping with repentance, and Jesus’ words about knowing false teachers by their deeds.
You cannot mock people as being bitter clingers to their Bibles and then turn around and try to cloak yourself with a false piety.
—Especially when you advocate the killing of unborn children and the shelving to die of those who do survive abortion.
—Especially when you lie at every turn and are a stranger to truth.
—Especially when you and your cronies act as if you are above the law.
—Especially when you hold contempt for the people of this country.
Wanumba#27, in truth I believe this statement, “He was a manifestation of God’s love for us,” is very carefully worded to avoid proclaiming the deity of Christ. Jesus did not come to be a leader, but as MathMom#18 said, to die: in John 12:27, Jesus said, “But for this purpose I came to this hour.”
(I also think he’s echoing Sarah Palin with the servant’s heart part).
BHO needs to repent and believe the Gospel.
INC commented:
#28, cityboy, I was writing my comment and didn’t see yours until mine was posted. You picked up on the same thing I did.
INC commented:
Oh, another thing—and this is important—Christians do not speak of the Lord Jesus in the past tense, He was; we speak of Him in the present tense, He is, because He is alive, risen from the dead.

#10…..do you really think the Secret Service normally get to take Christmas off?
ogee commented:
obammy hates catholics and his use of the word Jesus was just used in vain. He is a 2 bit liar and he is wasting his breath. No one believes his BS. obammy is an Islamo/Fascist, born and raised on it, and we are the firewall. Of course he’ll deny he is anything else but a christian to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes AGAIN!
The most die hard obots that I know personally have jumped ship. I thought they were really stupid but I guess they came to their senses and redeemed themselves.

Secret Service Secrets

INC commented:
#37 of course the Secret Service has to work on Christmas—but they do it in shifts. So if the President is at Camp David each one would get to spend some part of Christmas with their family.
Both Bushes spent Christmas at Camp David. I think the Clintons did as well–spending their last Christmas at the WH.
http://articles.latimes.com/1993-12-25/news/mn-5369_1_white-house
I think the Reagans spent their Christmases at Camp David or the WH. I’ll have to check.
All those presidents did so out of consideration for WH staff.
INC commented:
The Reagans spend all but their last Christmas at the White House. They seem to have started the tradition for the Presidents of the last 30 years.

Ever the narcissist, Obama just loves talking about His own birth.

I’m appalled at the very un-Christian comments I’m seeing from so many here. Really, “DROP DEAD” and the like? Which of your churches are teaching you to hate?
usamopatriot commented:
What a hypocrite POS.
Patty commented:
Does he? Is he really walking in Christ’s footsteps when he is a diversionary. He completely diverts from the actions of his own personal army. Those who are working to take God out of our very lives.
This is a sin, this is decent and the only person who may have any right to lecture are those who have given their life up for God. Obama is a travesty, filled with his own self serving ego and completely irrelevant.
Especially when it comes from a person who sat in a Church for 20 years GD America. This is insulting and no sure if he is understanding where his place has been for the past 3 years.
And no one will tell me about my God and his Son who I have known from birth. Least of all Obama.
Tiburon commented:
So really, all the outrage is over the Secret Service Agents who work on Christmas? Who joins the Secret Service thinking they’ll have a flexible schedule?
The Obama’s pay for the vacation rental home themselves.

Didn’t know that. You have a link or other source you can post in support of your comment?

Who pays for the 250,000K aircraft Obama uses along with the fleet of vehicles and support staff? Has another president taken as many vacations as Obama or spent half as much?
Pray tell us Sharkey Lad.

“faithful travellers”—
Travellers is the term which Communists use to refer to other Communists. I don’t think traveller is a Biblical description.
theBuckWheat commented:
Psalms 59:10-13 MKJV
(10) The God of my mercy shall go before me; God shall let me see my desire on my enemies.
(11) Do not kill them, lest my people forget; scatter them by Your power and bring them down, O Jehovah our shield.
(12) For the sin of their mouth is the word of their lips, even let them be taken in their pride; and for cursing and the lying which they speak.
(13) Consume them in wrath; consume, so that they may not be; and let them know that God rules in Jacob to the ends of the earth. Selah.
Jerry C commented:
Stop fooling yourselves, the Anti-Christ will not be killed. God’s Word informs us that he’ll be thrown alive into the Lake of Fire along with his False Prophet. This cannot happen until after the end of his 3 1/2 rule as king on earth. POTUS goes to U.N. to become king of the world while Newt is chosen to be 1 of the 10 kings to rule over the rest of the earth. But it’s nice to imagine him dead, just say’n.
