A direct line to God?

"'God loves you, and I love you,' the president said during a particularly fatuous promotion of his efforts to give government money to church groups that discriminate in their hiring. 'And you can count on both of us as a powerful message that people who wonder about the future can hear.'"

Maybe it's just me--but doesn't God not appreciate people putting themselves at his own level?

Sounds like someone's looking for a smiting.
