Obama Doesn't Mention God Enough, Says Prayer Caucus

The article suggests this position by the Congressional Prayer Caucus was because Obama had one of his "57 states" moments and muffed our national motto.

He used the original.  Not the one our communist fearing congress placed in the 50's along with placing "God" on money and the pledge. 

It's another stupid waste of time by our time wasting representatives.

When does it become Blasphemy?  Jehovah

You mean all those 1864 two penny coins are counterfeit?


And the 1866 through 1883 nickels are fake too?


I'll have to rethink my collection.

I regret my use of the word.  I should've written "currency".

Wicki Wick:

Use of the motto on circulating coinage is required by law. A March 3, 1865 law allowed the motto to be used on coins. The use of the motto was permitted, but not required, by an 1873 law. While several laws come into play, the act of May 18, 1908, is most often cited as requiring the motto (even though the cent and nickel were excluded from that law, and the nickel did not have the motto added until 1938). Since 1938, all coins have borne the motto. On July 11, 1955 it became required on all coins and currency by Act of Congress.

The motto was added to paper money over a period from 1957 to 1966.

The phrase was legally adopted as the United States' national motto by a law passed by the 84th United States Congress in 1956. (Public Law 84-851)"

One possible origin of In God We Trust is the final stanza of The Star-Spangled Banner. Written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key (and later adopted as the U.S. national anthem), the song contains an early reference to a variation of the phrase: "...And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust'.

See where it says "currency"?

Just ribbing you. 

I think that President Obama shouldn't be beholden to any goofy group to force language upon him.
He is free to use whatever vocabulary he wishes.

I was giving you are hard time too over what I thought was an over the top righteous indignation.

[Townsend]

Well thank God.  I thought I was being repressed.

[Conan71]
