Romney Suggests Obama Will Remove The Word ‘God’ From U.S. Currency
Mitt Romney today suggested President Obama will remove “In God We Trust” from U.S. currency, a direct nod to the Tea Party and to anti-Islam extremists — who for years have been circulating the false claim that the Left is trying to take God off American coinage — and an attempt to capitalize on the Democrats’ unfortunate battle during their convention this past week when President Obama requested they replace “God” back into the Democratic platform.
“That pledge says ‘under God’ and I will not take God out of our platform,” Romney said, after reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. “I will not take God off our coins, and I will not take God out of my heart,” Talking Points Memo reported:
In response, Obama spokeswoman Lis Smith called the insinsuation false and an act of desperation.
“It’s disappointing to see Mitt Romney try to throw a Hail Mary by launching extreme and untrue attacks against the President and associating with some of the most strident and divisive voices in the Republican Party, including Rep. Steve King and Pat Robertson,” she said in a statement. “This isn’t a recipe for making America stronger, it’s a recipe for division and taking us backward.”
Buzzfeed‘s McKay Coppins notes that Romney campaigned “alongside televangelist Pat Robertson in front of a loud, flag-waving crowd of about 2,800 here Saturday afternoon, Mitt Romney debuted a revamped stump speech built around the Pledge of Allegiance, patriotism — and God.”
Those fun-loving bat-sh*t-crazy teabaggers and christian-patriot types have come up with a new round of insane bullsh*t... They're suggesting that Obama wants to take "In God We Trust" off of the coins & currency... rofllol rofllol
For people who persistently insist on "tradition", Conservatives seem hell-bent on demanding the US ignore tradition when it comes to the Pledge of Allegiance and our currency. Traditionally neither had any reference to God. If Conservatives were truly about maintaining tradition they'd be glad to ditch Under God and In God We Trust.

I quoted directly form the title of this thread.
And how did Romney suggest anything like Obama wants "In God We Trust" off coins? With your reasoning, if Romney says he supports anything, then he must suggest or imply that Obama does not. Stupid arguement.
Just a question, does anyone here care if we have "In God We Trust" on our coins? If so, what faces should we also remove from our currency that you object to? Let's be honest here.
Also, is it OK with you liberals to say the Pledge of Allegiance with the words "under God"? I'm hoping for a reply. It's a fair question. I'm not that religious and it doesn't make me go crazy hearing it. Does it upset you too?
Hearing it doesn't upset me....But I learned the Pledge of Allegiance without the addition of "under God" and I am partial to the wording I learned as a child. I do wonder why it had to be changed from it's original wording.....is the pledge somehow less valuable without God in it?, does it mean less to the person who recites it? I don't think so.
I have no idea why God is on our money, that would seem to be the last place we would have God. Being religious, or non-religious has little to do with what I feel about that....some things just seem to happen for stupid reasons and then they become something that causes great angst if you want to change it.
No, you can add whatever is politically expedient or popular at the current time, just like they did with "under God" in the Pledge (what was written more than 100 years after the founding of the United States). Politicians have been adding to it ever since. As far as "Under God" I stand with our founding fathers.
