President Obama & Haiti... Thanks for doing the right thing

The Religious Right has propagated for more than two years that President Obama is not “Christian” enough to be the leader of the free world. Their argument is deeply rooted in their belief that good Christians do superficial things like going to church, swearing on the Bible, and revering the obvious fallacies found in scripture. Fundamentalists have upheld these pharisaic arguments despite Christ’s obvious position that his true followers would be known by how they treat people and NOT how well they uphold superficial traditions.

In the wake of the most terrible natural disaster many of us have seen in our lifetimes, President Obama has stepped up to the plate to help those referred to by the Bible as “the least of these…” He has promised resources that will translate to food for the hungry, medical attention for the ailing, and shelter for the homeless. The character of our President touches my heart. Thank you, President Obama, for caring about the people of Haiti.
