There's a time and a place for everything. But this is neither the time nor the place. To think that someone is elected by the grace of god is a little over the top. Someone is elected through the will of the people, and to conflate that with divine intervention is patronizing.
42 members of the Congressional Prayer Caucus have sent a letter complaining that President Obama hasn't mentioned God often enough. Ideally, I don't think the President, any President, should mention God in any public statement, but the real takeaway here, at least for me, is that no matter how cynical and disgusted I am, it can always get worse. I mean, did you even know there's a "Congressional Prayer Caucus"?
