WORST IDEA 6/16/10: Obama calls for prayer to fix oil spill

One would think that with delusional religious nut George W. Bush out of office that we would now have a leader who proposes real solutions, not magical ones. Sadly, that is not the case as during Barack Obama's address to the nation last night, he called for prayer as part of the solution for the oil spill mess in the Gulf. Why not ask for Superman to save us or blamed the spill on Darth Vader if we're going to invoke fiction instead of dealing with reality. The President of the United States should not act based on faith. He should act based on commanding the resources of the most powerful nation on Earth and keep his belief in a magical man in the sky out of his speeches.

You can change your bio to say that your column appears in 99 newspapers each week. Because you just lost mine. There's no room for a writer with this sort of hatred towards Christianity in our newspaper. It's ironic that a man who consistently rails against discrimination against other groups and lifestyles dismisses the beliefs of Christians as "magic" and refers to them as "delusional nuts."

I called George W. Bush delusional. Belief in prayer over practical soutions is silly. God helps those who help themselves. Submitting prayer as a solution to a problem is a tad troubling.
