No traditional reference of giving thanks to God in today's address by President Barack Obama. No reference to the Divine or the Almighty.
Instead, the president tells the nation that he and his family will reflect on how "lucky" they are.
Luck is what happens when you win the lottery. The American story is much deeper than that.
Mr. Obama' comments ring hollow compared to the Thanksgiving proclamations and addresses of past presidents.
