Agnostic? Really?

It's nice to be back! I had the time of my life on a cruise to Mexico with my wonderful husband, and now it's time to get back to it!

So, here I go...

AGNOSTIC (ag näs′tik)

1 : a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god
2 : a person unwilling to commit to an opinion about something


Just in case you haven't heard, this is what I'm talking about, as far as the President being "agnostic". According to the Washington Bureau of the New York Daily News, the President has said that he's now "agnostic" about raising taxes on families with incomes of less than $250,000 a year. We'll be able to read the full interview with the President in Bloomberg BusinessWeek, which will be in newsstands Friday.
Since President Obama has said he is a Christian, I'm going to assume that definition number 2 (hahaha... I said number 2.... can you tell I have a 6 year old?) is the one that applies here. I cannot say whether the President is a Christian or not. That's between him, and God. (that's God, with a capital G)

A person unwilling to commit to an opinion about something... wait a minute. Remember this?



That certainly seems like an opinion to me! He also said the same thing in his first speech to Congress on February 24, 2009, but I can't find a video. Sorry. It just appears that he said what he needed to say to get elected. I know, I know, George H.W. Bush said the same thing - "Read my lips, no new taxes." Then when he went back on that, people went ballistic. If taxes are raised on middle-class families, I wonder if anyone is going to call the President out on his words, like Bill Clinton did to GHWB in 1992.

Oh but wait. Anyone running for any office can say anything they want to. Then it'll just get brushed off. This one was about C-SPAN.



"There are a lot of things he was for, on the campaign trail."

I have a feeling that you'll always remember those words, Speaker.

Can't wait to find out what's next!
