    Oooh, 64-bit Linux just isn't supported by Flash.

    Not that anyone uses Linux anyway, let alone 64 bits!

    It is possible to believe in a higher power without it being GOD and it ruling your every decision.

    So, he still believes in magic, but only like... friendly elves and whatnot?

    Obama seems to me someone that is spiritual and has beliefs in a higher power but that isn't necessarily the Christian God

    So... you've got a lot of respect for him, even though you're pretty sure he's lying about what he says is the foundation of his entire world view? He says that his moral framework comes from his belief in the Christian God as spelled out in the bible. He's the one who actually says, over and over again, how that for him, it's all about that one big ol', all-powerful, redeeming God in which one must believe to go to heaven, etc. You're saying that it's possible to believe in magic, just not in God, per se... but obviously you DO think that Obama really does believe in what he says he does, right? So, he actually DOES think that God rules the universe, because he says that he believes in the Christian God. HE says that, not me. Or, are you saying that he doesn't really believe that, and he's just lying so that he can be part of a church so that he can help people, because, gosh, there's not other way to organize a civic group or anything like that. So which is it? He's a hook-line-and-sinker really believes what he says he does guy with an all-powerful invisible friend (something about which you seem to be uncomfortable), or he's lying (which you seem to think is more likely, and is something about which you seem to be fine). Interesting.

    Sadder still, one of the fleshy kind. Comprehensive economic plan that will create jobs? Yeah, like every other republican of the last century... but, we don't need more low paying service jobs, you stupid fuck.
