So, Obama said he is not buying into the idea that we will always have the poor with us.  I am going to set aside the fact that this ‘Christian’ just tried to over rule Christ’s own words and ask you to look just at the utter stupidity of Obama’s assertion.  Remember, it is not the word that defines, but the form and function: the nature of something is what defines it.  So, what is it that defines ‘poor?’  It is not so much the amount of money you have, but whether or not the amount of money you have will provide for your basic living needs.  Now, let’s apply that to Obama’s claim that we can rid the world of poverty.
