Sen. Hatch reminds Obama 'there was only one person who walked on water'

By Josiah Ryan - 02/03/12 11:03 AM ET

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) on Thursday evening said President Obama needs a reminder that he is not Jesus Christ.

"In 2008, the president declared that his nomination was the world historical moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal," Hatch said in a speech from the Senate floor.

"Someone needs to remind the president that there was only one person who walked on water, and he did not occupy the Oval Office."

Hatch skewered the president for a remark he made at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday morning, during which he suggested Jesus might support his plan to raise taxes on wealthy Americans.
