Obama’s not a native born American? So how can he run for office?
he was born in Hawaii
Let me see if I have this straight:
His father was a Kenyan, Muslim; black- we have seen pictures of his African “family. So somehow he had to get from Hawaii to Kenya since he had to get some sort of permission to come to the US.
His mother is a Kansan, Atheist, white-where are the pictures of his Kansan, white mother and his white grandparents who raised him.
His father deserted his mother and him when he was very young and went back to his family in Kenya.
His mother married an Indonesian Muslim and took him to Jakarta where he was schooled in a Muslim school.
His mother returned to Hawaii and his white Kansan grand parents raised him.
He later went to the best high dollar schools, how?
He lives in a $1.4 million dollar house that he acquired through a
deal with a wealthy fund raiser. How?
He “worked” as a civil rights activist in Chicago- has never held a productive job. The presidency is not a civil rights post nor is it subject to affirmative action set asides
He entered politics at the state level and then the national level where he has minimal experience
He is proud of his “African heritage” but it seems that his only African connection was that his African father got a white girl pregnant and deserted her. I didn't know that sperm carried a “cultural” gene. Where is the pride in his white culture?
He goes to an “Afro centric” church that hates Whites, hates Jews, and blames America for all the worlds perceived faults and then repeatedly covers up for the pastor and the church
He claims that he could not confront his pastor but he wants us to
believe that he can confront North Korea and Iran, right!!!
Yeah, I think I see how he could be a uniter and bring us together, I think the hope is that he hopes no one will put the pieces together.
Huh?
Amen!
Just for example, compare this:
“Somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and started being used to drive us apart. It got hijacked,” the Democratic presidential candidate said in remarks prepared for delivery before the national meeting of the United Church of Christ.
“Part of it’s because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, who’ve been all too eager to exploit what divides us,” the Illinois senator said.
“At every opportunity, they’ve told evangelical Christians that Democrats disrespect their values and dislike their church, while suggesting to the rest of the country that religious Americans care only about issues like abortion and gay marriage, school prayer and intelligent design,” according to an advance copy of his speech.
“There was even a time when the Christian Coalition determined that its number one legislative priority was tax cuts for the rich,” Obama said.
to what he’s been hearing at his church for 20 years. Don’t you know when the deck’s stacked against you?
Oh, Okay ....
What I found equally troubling was listening to an excerpt of the audio version of the book, which he narrated. He seemed to take an almost childish pleasure in mimicking his half sister's African accent. He sounded like a high schooler showing off in the school play.
White guilt is a poweful thing. Shame. I am a pure blooded white man, I have no guilt.
a voice crying in the wilderness ( you not him.) So , obviously, the much repeated line about "a few sound-bites" being the extent of his controversial remarks is a big lie (surprise, surprise)
What I heard him say that night was so absolutely outrageous that I sent him an email. Funny, I never heard from him. Can not imagine why! I imagine it went to the trash bin or wherever an old unwanted email goes. I have had many deaths in a short period of time and there have been nights I could not sleep, so I have tried over the years to find him again. I was not able to find him and wonder if that one time was a special night for some reason. I do not even remember which station it was on. I have been a Christian most of my life and I had never ever heard anything like what he was saying. It sure was not Biblical.
I grew up in the United Church of Christ, so I am not surprised at the anti-American line, though none of the local congregations I attended were remotely like that. The central office hierarchy was pro-Castro, pro Viet Cong, down the line. How unfortunate, as the institutional progeny of the Puritans ( by way of the Congregationalists) they have traveled this Christ-denying road. I suspect that in the Baptistic and even A.M.E, churches, Wright’s pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage views would be anomalous.
Right, and I actually knew that. I was attributing Ted Kennedy’s statement about bring an African to America as meaning bringing Barack Obama to America. As soon as I had posted my response, I re-read the article, and realized my mistake.
