"Pass This Bill" = "Feed My Lambs" (John 21:15)

At a rally on the campus of North Carolina State in Raleigh, N.C. Wednesday where President Obama went to drum up support for his jobs bill, this happened.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: I love you, Barack!

THE PRESIDENT: I love you back. (Applause.) But first — but if you love me — if you love me, you got to help me pass this bill. (Applause.) If you love me, you got to help me pass this bill.

Here's John 21:15, the New International Version, describing a scene between Jesus and his disciples:

When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter,"Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?"

"Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you."

Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."

STAY ON TOPIC. Keep your language CIVIL, CLEAN and free of profanity, racism, and spurious rumors. (Preferably those wishing to present their
eschatological speculations about Obama being the biblical 'Antichrist' or related conspiracy theories should do so on another forum). Thank you for your cooperation.
