Biblical blunder at White House briefing (OneNewsNow.com): White House spokesman Jay Carney invoked scripture yesterday to back up President Barack Obama's suggestion that God wants policymakers to get busy and create more jobs.
oops signCarney said Obama was trying to make the point that "we have it within our capacity to do the things to help the American people." Carney said there was a Bible phrase stating "The Lord helps those who help themselves."
Someone caught the goof. A White House transcript of Carney's briefing issued later in the day included the disclaimer: "This common phrase does not appear in the Bible."
