The flap about Obama's oath and its reference to God brought to mind the Pledge of Allegiance. When I learned it in the first grade, the words "under God" were not in it. I was upset when Eisenhower changed it when I was in the second grade because I had to relearn it and besides he was a Republican. Looking back on it, I might have been a better Christian today if I hadn't wasted a whole year without saying "under god" every morning, though we did say the Lord's Prayer and a prayer at lunch I think. This all assumes that the God we're talking about is Baby Jesus. Shake & Bake.
