This is THE CHURCH and THE preacher that Obama has embraced. For 20 years. The man who "called him to Christ". The one who Baptized him and his kids, who married him.

Once more, for the record, is there any evidence Obama was ever baptized? I think if Obama's going to try to "Christian" his way out of this he's going to need to come clean on the extent to which most other Christians can actually consider him Christian.

For what it's worth

From NR's The Corner posted at 3/14 at 6:20 pm "That is decidedly not the case with one’s pastor—particularly in a church Obama didn’t grow up in from childhood, and a church so thoroughly defined by the personality and appeal of a particular pastor. He chose it willingly, and he has remained a member willingly. In discussing his decision to join Wright’s church in The Audacity of Hope, Obama himself says “It came about as a choice and not an epiphany.” (p. 208) It seems from that book, in fact, that Wright was much more than just a pastor at the nearest church to his house; he was the man who brought Obama to accept the faith and be baptized. He didn’t just baptize Obama’s kids, but Obama himself. Hardly a crazy uncle.
