Not So Fast, Barack
IBD ^ | June 3, 2008

Posted on 06/03/2008 6:22:45 PM PDT by Kaslin

Decision '08: Barack Obama is changing churches in hopes of changing the subject long enough to slip into the White House. But it won't change what he believes. Who'll pin him down?


A careful reading of the transcript of Obama's press conference over the weekend reveals that he neither denounced his church nor permanently quit it. He twice left open the door to rejoining Trinity United Church of Christ after the election.

He said he and his wife merely decided "it was going to be very difficult to continue our membership there so long as I was running for president."

Typical of the coverage of this candidate, nobody in the press followed up with tough questions. Nobody bothered to parse his words.

They just lobbed more softballs. "Do you feel like your faith and your church come under fire, more rapid fire, than other candidates in this presidential election?" asked one reporter. "How do you feel about that?"

We already know how Obama feels. He's frosted that this paper and others outside the mainstream liberal media exposed his militantly Afro-centric, anti-American church and preacher.

DIASPORA...

Dr. Walter Williams makes the point that Black
Americans enjoy a higher standard of living and
greater opportunities than any other blacks in
the world.

As to Diaspora, it is interesting that just as a
cell grows by division, so does the church. Wherever
agents for Jesus Christ are found, there is blessing.

Whatever kind of evanglism FUCC is spreading does
not bless. Some cells are cancerous.

Oops! That should be TUCC, NOT FUCC. Sorry. My bad.

He’s even willing to throw his spiritual community under the bus for political expediency.

But he’ll be back there within a year — as soon as he thinks no one is looking.

He believes he is the chosen one, and today he is - by the democrats!

I saw someone post today that NOW they guess they will HAVE to vote for McCain. I think others will follow that lead to defeat Obama. Like McCain or not, we have to defeat Obama.

As to the church, I read from a statement of theirs that they have 'many muslim members' and that if you attend two of their 'meetings' in a row, you can "walk the aisle".....
If you can get past the black panthers, lol.

Obama is NOT the Quisats Hatterat.
He is simply electable. Makes me
wonder if the Democratic Party
understand what kind of world they
are handing to their offspring.

Since the mainstream media does not care what church he belongs to, he shouldn’t have mentioned anything about his membership there, until after he won the nomination.

Then he could have slyly stated that because he believed he would be living in the White House, he and Michelle had decided to look into the churches in the DC area that will better suit them. :)

He would have sounded like a winner, and he wouldn’t have had to lie about leaving Wright’s church.

I have wondered a thousand times WHY they would want their children and grandchildren to live in a communistic society, it boggles the mind. But their mindset must think it's a good thing!

Now I wonder if they possibly want their families to be wearing burkas in the future.....

Fortunately, liberals are aborting themselves out of existence.
This way they avoid having to think about a future for their
children.

Out of sight ... out of their minds.

.

Michigan is going Red State now

Virginia is more liberal now - demanding government spending on mass transprtation sytems

Raising taxes of seniors, blue-collar working people - there is the wedge issue - along with “Clinging to their guns and religion!”

The NRA, US active, reserve, VETS, Vets families -

Early voting for our active duty troops abroad must be demanded

We have some states now voting over several days -

Yet in the military - ballots are sent abroad late - troops do not get access to their ballots - never get back in time - are not counted

Our officers must demand this here and abroad

Disenfranchisement of of military will be on the agena again for democrats

-

Those O’Bummer audios must be trumpted over and over and over

-

Love, your Jim
