As Twitchy reported last night, President Obama angered many on Twitter for the quoting of scripture as justification for his executive amnesty plan with the passage later identified as Exodus 22:21:
President Obama quotes Exodus 22:21 in his immigration speech, and demonstrates that he gets the "do unto others"… http://t.co/sSbCGPMNvj

And the White House really, really wants you to remember this Exodus quote, so much so that they have tweeted it out now six times since last night:

But The Blaze’s Dana Loesch has a scripture lesson of her own for the president:
Obama missed this Scripture in his immigration talk: Romans 13:1. Also Titus 3:1.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) November 21, 2014
Here are the passages. Romans 13:1:
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
And Titus 3:1:
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,
Maybe the president should name a Bible czar to help him out of the tricky predicament he’s put himself in with his selective quoting of verse to fit his political agenda?
