Obama Gets A Pay Grade Promotion - Now Partner With God

During the Presidential campaign, Barack Obama and John McCain participated in a debate at Saddleback church with Pastor Rick Warren. Both candidates were asked the question of when life begins. McCain unhesitatingly replied he believes life begins at conception. Obama replied that whether it was on a scientific basis or a religious/moral basis it was "above his pay grade" to be able to answer that question.

Well, times have changed. Obviously Obama has gotten an increase in pay grade.

This week President Obama was speaking to various rabbis and said, "We are God's partners in matters of life and death."

Well, that's interesting. At least he didn't say God is HIS partner in matters of life and death. Or was he just referring to himself in the third person?

Apparently Obama has gone from too low a pay grade to be able to have an opinion on when life begins to being a partner with God in making life and death decisions. He is certainly on the career fast track. Just a few years as a State Senator, less than a year working as a US Senator, less than a year as President and now already promoted to God's Partner. Shows what hard work and a Biblical size ego will do.

One wonders if in saying he is a "partner with God in matters of life and death" he is trying to bring God down to the level of mortals or whether he is elevating himself to the level of God.

Is there really a question here?
