Obama and his Kentucky cross TRIBUNE-REVIEW By Salena Zito

Chris Brody, the senior national correspondent for Christian Broadcast Network (CBN), is reporting Sen. Barack Obama has a flier for next week’s primary contest in Kentucky that shows Obama standing with a substantial-sized cross to his left.

Brody writes that Obama “is making a direct appeal to evangelicals with fliers that mention his conversion experience and they highlight a big old cross. Remember (Gov.) Mike Huckabee’s supposed subliminal cross in his Christmas campaign ad? Well, Obama campaign ditches

[kromike]

That’s a HUGE gaffe...shouldn’t it be a combination of the Islamic Crescent and the Soviet Hammer & Sickle?

[pillut48]

This is going to backfire and bite Ubama on the you know what!!

I think most Americans will get that Ubama is trying to manipulate their votes! D’oh, what a nerdburger.

[unkus]

I’d like to see a “RED NECKS FOR OBAMA” bumper sticker.That would drive them crazy.

[skinkinthegrass]

a Kentucky Ping please.
thanks.

“Remember (Gov.) Mike Huckabee’s supposed subliminal cross in his Christmas campaign ad?”

Yes and I remember uber-liberals like Alan Colmes giving him a BIG ration of C-R-A-P about it, too.

I wonder what ol’ skull face will have to say about his man Obama’s use of the “cross” when he discusses it on tonight’s H&C show?

What? He doesn’t plan to mention it? Why that’s not like him at all. Alan is normally such a FAIR minded commentator.

“My faith tecahes me I can sit in church and pray all I want, but I won’t be fulfilling God’s will unless I go out and do the Lord’s work.”

This guy sounds like Jon Carry more and more. Every statement seems couched to deflect an anticipated claim of hypocrisy. Here, the fact that he didn’t attend his church much, if at all. He never answers that questions, I’ve seen Rev. Wright dodge, twice, the question whether he saw Obama at church.

[WayneS]

It’s the same old double standard:

If a LIBERAL stands next to a cross it is an expression of his heart-felt faith.
If a CONSERVATIVE stands next to a cross he is shoving his Christianity down your throat.

If a LIBERAL has a bad temper he is “passionate about his ideals”.
If a CONSERVATIVE has a bad temper he is “mean spirited”.

Please add to the list as you see fit...

“Brody writes that Obama “is making a direct appeal to evangelicals with fliers that mention his conversion experience”

Conversion?!? Correct me if I’m wrong..but hasn’t Barrack HUSSAIN Obama always claimed to have been raised Christian??

[unkus]

McCain might start to look sharp as a tac compared to Ovomit. In some people’s eyes.

I wonder whose face and torso got blacked out by the pull quote from Nobama?

[donna]

Source: http://www.simplysharing.com/assuringlight/obama.htm

“So, I have a deep faith. I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people, that there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and that there’s an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived.” (snip)

He is saying, essentially, that all people of faith – Christians, Jews, Muslims, animists, everyone – know the same God. It is, perhaps, an unlikely theological position for someone who places his faith squarely at the feet of Jesus to take. But that depends on how you hear a verse from the Gospel of St. John, where Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me,” Obama says.

I went to the grocery store earlier today, and I heard two folks joking about the change Obama will bring. It was humor sarcastic toward “Obamma.”

This was a blue-collar neighborhood in southern Ohio.

Obama will lose Ohio. He will lose Kentucky.

A good chance he’ll lose either Penn or Mich or both.

I think he’s toast.

[Liberty Valance]

HA! Obama doesn’t pander. He is however being fitted for a coon skin cap for his Kentucky visits.

Thanks for posting Salena ;o)

[SweetCaroline]

fulfilling God’s will unless I go out and do the Lord’s work.”

Hey,Obama, do you think it is God's will that you approve of killing his babies???????

What an idiot!!!

Michele must get points on the Good Wife Scale for letting her hubby sleep in while she takes the children to church.

[WayneS]

Why... it looks like that WRIGHT, guy.

Could it be?

[BigFinn]

Don't be deceived... anyone that supports abortion is not a Christian. I don't care how many crosses he has on a brochure.
And the so-called church he attended for 20 years, spewed a constant barrage of hate and disharmony which is in direct opposition to what Jesus taught.

Clue: By their fruits you will know them.

I detect a rotten apple for sure.

[mikrofon]

FAITH. HOPE. CHANGE.

So, we see now that "Love" has been replaced as one of the cardinal virtues by "Change"... Must be from the Book of Jeremiah (W)

[del4hope]

So, I guess that the greatest of these is Change?????

He always talks of his faith. But I have yet to hear faith “in what”....like....faith “in Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior”. He has however, expressed another view of faith in his books from what I hear.

[F15Eagle]

Yes, that would be MUCH more appropriate ...

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

hasn’t Barrack HUSSAIN Obama always claimed to have been raised Christian??

An excellent point. It's reasonable to ask what he was before he "converted."

[pillut48]

I’m not one to judge, but I remember reading that someone asked Ubama who he would love to sit down and visit (alive or dead)—he answered Jesus. When asked what they would talk about, Ubama said something along the lines of “I’d ask him if He was going to let me go to heaven”—wow. Some conversion.

[okie01]

Obama will lose Ohio. He will lose Kentucky.

A good chance he’ll lose either Penn or Mich or both.

I think he’s toast.

There's a flip-side to your speculation, however.

While Obama could lose Ohio and Kentucky, can McCain win them?

And, while Obama might lose Penn and Mich, can McCain win them?

While I believe that Obama could definitely lose all four states, I'm significantly less confident that McCain can win them.

[wastedyears]

Obama “converted” to Christianity because it was politically expedient.

[xzins]

McCain will win Ohio.

And if Obama loses MI, PA, KY, and IN, then McCain wins them.

Unless someone has wild hopes for Bob Barr or Ralph Nader.

:>)

[Fresh Wind]

What does Obama’s faith teach him about false Christs?

[TornadoAlley3]

“punished with a baby”

[Gilbo_3]

And muslims never lie to infidels ???

Sorry but my gut says this guy has been groomed for jihad...

[donna]

And muslims never lie to infidels ??? Sorry but my gut says this guy has been groomed for jihad...

No. The Obama quotes in post #13 prove he does not believe in Christianity. Those are not Christian beliefs.

[Gilbo_3]

“I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me,” Obama says.

my apologies donna, I was refering to that phrasing...the rest is some kinda all-inclusive 'community' church mumbo jumbo...

Although Im not God, and have no right to discourage someone elses spirituality, hussein is NO Christian, NOT 'converted' and most likely a jihadi god wannabe or at the least a useful idiot to the mullahs, hence no death sentence put out from the leadership...

[donna]

Although Im not God, and have no right to discourage someone elses spirituality,

That's a political statement of how to run a country. Personally trying to save a person from the "spirituality" of anything but Jesus seems like a duty to me.

[Gilbo_3]

I cant persuade anyone who is unwilling to listen...

My personal history and calling sets my ministry more toward persuading people to acknowledge God's existence, only then might I be used by Him to convert their heart...

gotta crawl before walking, Bless your ministry as well...

[donna]

That’s not your personal history, that’s the Christian calling.

We do have the right to discourage someone else’s “spirituality” - always with truth and Christian charity of course.

[Polyxene]

“ol’ skull face”

LOL!! Good one! That is exactly what Colmes looks like!

BLUEGRASS PING

[cyberella]

I came across this video in tribute to those who lost their lives on 9/11. It made me cry. It is the most moving tribute that I have ever seen, and I think it should be required viewing for every Ameican yearly. How quickly most of us have forgotten, and have become apathetic again.

Be sure to read the author’s account of his own experiences on that day.
