Barack Obama thinks he knows more than Jesus. Literally.
At a conference on poverty, Obama directly contradicted the words of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “You have the poor with you always. . . .” Obama said explicitly, “And I think it’s important for us to guard against cynicism and not buy the idea that the poor will always be with us and there’s nothing we can do, because there’s a lot we can do. The question is, do we have the political will, the communal will to do something about it.”
Now, Jesus did not mean we should not help the poor. But if you begin with a realistic understanding that poverty will always exist in our world, you will approach the problem differently than if you believe a massive “War on Poverty” will eradicate it. The left’s failed experiment for the last 50 years proves their approach has not only not eradicated poverty – it has institutionalized it. The left has made poverty a way of life to aspire to, instead of giving a helping hand to get out of poverty once and for all.
Barack Obama could learn a thing or two from Jesus, don’t you agree? Add your comments below.
