Imagine If a Republican Claimed That God Wanted Something...

We would never hear the end of it:

"If Congress tells you they don't have time, they got time to do it. We've been in the House of Representatives, what have you guys been debating? John, you've been debating a commemorative coin for baseball? You have legislation reaffirming that In God We Trust is our motto. That's not putting people back to work. I trust in God, but God wants to see us help ourselves by putting people back to work," Obama said.

The funny thing is that when people who clearly don't worship anything larger than themselves try to use God as an excuse, it always comes across clumsy and dishonest.
