Lamest excuse ever.

Via The Hill:

Robert Gibbs, a senior adviser for President Obama’s campaign, ducked questions on Tuesday regarding whether or not the word “God” was deliberately left out of the Democratic Party platform.

“There’s talk throughout the platform about faith and religion and I think that’s what’s important,” Gibbs told CNN.

The platform, released late Monday, does not include the word “God,” although it does refer twice to freedom of religion and religious tolerance.

Gibbs said the references to religion “lets people understand and know what this party is all about.”

But pressed to say whether the omission was deliberate, Gibbs shied away.

“I know there’s thousands of God-fearing Democrats here tonight,” Gibbs said, counting himself among them. “A lot of us here believe in a higher power.”
