Obama equates government and religion

Ann Althouse has a great roundup today of President Obama's remarks to a group of religious leaders regarding his health care proposals.

Fascinating. Brother Obama also made an appearance on Fox News with Greta Van Susteren to talk about the moral imperative to enact health care reform and denounce the "lies" being told about his plan.

"These are all fabrications that have been put out there in order to discourage people from meeting what I consider to be a core ethical and moral obligation. That is that we look out for one other, that I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper. And in the wealthiest nation on earth right now, we are neglecting to live up to that call."

Righteous people are scoffing at the audacity of a President invoking God and religious imagery to peddle the political issue du jour. Ms. Althouse is "trying to imagine the separation-of-church-and-state freakout if George Bush had taken this approach to arguing for one of his policies."

But it's not George Bush in the White House anymore. And Barack Obama does see government as the saviour of the populace, the genial overlord to which all should supplicate for their daily government cheese and cheap prescription drugs imported from Canada.

So, since he wants us to equate government with religion I have to wonder about something. Islam equates government with religion, and religion with government. Under Sharia Law they are one and the same.

Barack Obama says he's not a Muslim. Should we believe him? He is the head of our government and now he fancies himself as our spiritual leader as well. Can "Caliph Obama" really be far behind?
