“I think the good book says don’t throw stones in glass houses” Obama makes up Bible verse!

I guess paraphrasing the Good Book is not allowed.

well-deserving of a plus rep!

Especially if a brown Mooslim like Obama does it. If Bush said something like this, being a white Christian, the response would be quite different.

Not a fan of alleged dronegangsta.. but to be fair he knows his godly mixes scriptures well:

Especially if a brown Mooslim like Obama does it.

His advisors have already fixed his "mooslim" image problem; he has droned sufficient number of brown mooslim children and almost all GOPers are satisfied about his religion now.

This is Ron Paul Forums, I dislike Bush even more than I dislike Obama.

"Nobody is above the law," then-Senator Obama said in 2008, when asked whether he'd prosecute Bush administration or CIA officials for torture-related offenses. But he said he also worried that investigations could be viewed as a "partisan witch hunt." Once he took office, the latter view seems to have trumped the former, and Obama quickly decided not to even open cases against either officials who followed Bush administration "rules" on torture or the officials who wrote those rules in the first place.

“I think the good book says don’t throw stones in glass houses” Obama says.

very prudent, Mr. Obama

No, if Bush said something like this, I would say he doesn't know scripture very well either.

What an idiot.

How is that a paraphrase of anything?

It's a common proverb. We've all heard it. It's just not in the Bible.

 

[DamianTV]

Oooh oooh! "Those who live in Glass Houses should change their Clothes in the Basement"!

 

[Dr.3D]

Fogo say: "He who live in glass house has sunny bathroom."

It's not paraphrasing. It's misquoting and not giving credit where credit is due. Dude has writers. And fact checkers. Supposedly.

Fogo or Pogo?

Its not a paraphrase.

He should know, the idiot has been to 57 states already with one more left to go.

 

[Zippyjuan]

Its not a paraphrase.

Definition:

express the meaning of (the writer or speaker or something written or spoken) using different words, especially to achieve greater clarity.

But either way- amazing the topic is on its second page.

 

[euphemia]

I think I've heard of a paraphrase. The Bible never says that. It's Confucius. Totally different.

People should be very careful how they treat writings held sacred to a faith tradition. There is no excuse for a president to make a mistake like this. None. It's too easy to check. If he wants to say something, he should just say it and not try to make it out as something other than what it is. He is not some junior high kid in his first debate. He is the President of the United States. Fail.

Fogo or Pogo?

Well, in my freshman year of high school, it was generally attributed to Fogo. I wouldn't put it past others to have thought of it though.

If Bush said this, it would've been thrown on the vast pile of "Bushisms" that everyone loved to skewer him with when he was in office. Making fun of Bush because of his lack of control over the English language and inability to quote people properly was pretty common, really.

Came here special, just to rep this, after seeing it in Deb's sig line.

Found out I already did.
