Gimme a break…if Obama did a thanksgiving prayer reflecting about our countries”sins and transgressions”, Rich and the nro gang would be on him for hating America.

I don’t need any president to remind me what Thanksgiving is, nor do I need some preachy pundit to tell me whether my Thanksgiving has been made trivial and meaningless.

Rich ought to take some time to, tomorrow, to consider whether he’s become a little too reliant on government if he can’t have a fruitful Thanksgiving Day without proclamations to the nation from our public employees.

I heard Zimbabwe actually passed a budget and Rwanda, too. Not like us.

I think I’ll spend a bit of next week learning to carry a bucket of water on my head.

We have transcended sin. We have elected Obama as President, purging the nation from our collective sins. The Obama Millennium has begun. Praise and thanks be to Him, Giver of The Pill and Vanquisher of the Robberbarons! Glenn Jericho on November 21, 2012 at 3:23 PM

Hellelujah!

Lowry surely knows that the concept of national failings has been dumbed down, trivialized and rendered so politically partisan as to be worse than meaningless, so why bother?

U.S.Grant considered the bloodletting of 1861-65 to be essentially divine payback for the Mexican-American War. That at least was a preachiness to be reckoned with.

But any suggestion of national failings, let alone sin or perversity, has gone missing from the Thanksgiving proclamations of recent decades (and so has much of the majesty).

We have transcended sin. We have elected Obama as President, purging the nation from our collective sins. The Obama Millennium has begun. Praise and thanks be to Him, Giver of The Pill and Vanquisher of the Robberbarons!

Bread and circuses. Pay no attention to Nero the Vacationer and the lobster fancier when there’s entertainments at the Colosseum.
