Yep, I would vote for a man or woman of any color as long as they had strong conservative credentials, did not attend a race baiting and enabling church, professed and showed patriotism for their country and was a real Christian (No Abortion)or (Same Sex Marriages).

Obama Rama Lama Ding Dong does not qualify on any of the before stated reasons needed to be president IN MY LOWLY OPINION.

IS THE SPIN MACHING NOW AT WORK? BEFORE HE WAS AT TRINITY FOR OVER 20 YEARS. THIS ARTICLE NOW SAYS.........16 YEARS.

HMMMM ARE THEY STARTING A NEW SPIN.

“This was Obama’s first time attending a church service since he announced last month that he had quit Trinity United Church of Christ, which he had attended for 16 years, as he sought to calm concerns about comments by pastors there.”

[Beckwith]

Obama took to the pulpit to deliver a speech on fatherhood, a tenet that should be strengthened, he observed.  "Too many fathers are also missing.  Too many fathers are MIA.  Too many fathers are AWOL.  Missing from too many lives and too many homes.  They’ve abandoned their responsibilities, they’re acting like boys instead of men, and the foundations of our family have suffered because of it.  You know and I know this is true everywhere, but nowhere is it more true than in the African-American community."

Obama knows a lot about this subject.  His own father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., went AWOL and abandoned Obama at the age of two, because his family was a hindrance to his career ambitions.

Obama's denial about who his father really was is best illustrated by this passage from his first book, "...never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own.  It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself..."

Bigamy, child abandonment, alcoholism and spousal abuse -- are some of his father's attributes.

The photo-op over, the senator left the sanctuary before the actual sermon.

This is interesting -- the Apostolic Church of God's website states, "We believe in water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, and the receiving of the Holy Ghost."

Does that mean Obama will finally get baptized and become a real Christian?  Swearing allegiance to the Black Value System really doesn't make one a Christian, no matter what Obama says.

I'll be watching.

Off topic but has anyone else noticed that BHO's official campaign website is almost identical to PepsiCola's?

www.pepsi.com --- compare logo, colors, etc.

Unless Pepsi is officially endorsing Obama I wonder how they feel about their brand being co-opted by the great and wonderful O(z)

Please correct me if I'm wrong and I only took a quick glace at the website, but if I went to the right place, Mr. Obama's Campaign staff did their homework. He attended a Church on Fathers Day that speaks to the true Apostolic Black/White Christian experience.

[Lizavetta]

I don't think the churchgoing men are the ones abandoning their children, Obama-lama-ding-dong.

Why don't you go to where the degenerate impregnators actually are?

[Salvation]

I thought that churches who had politicians speak during their services lost the tax exempt status.

Suggest that happens here. No way should any cnadidate be speaking in a church.

Is this another speech about how he and his wife were burdened with children?

[Salvation]

Pray for an end to abortion and the conversion of America to a mindset of life!

[shineon]

I think the word was “punished”.

[Albertafriend]

You’re right. There is quite a similar look to it. They even have a false rumor alert.

[jmaroneps37]

Where is the F%^king IRS? When are Black churches going to be treated equally?

[carmody]

I didn't even see that hiding in the corner.

So is Barry O copying Pepsi with Pepsi's blessing?

Or did he literally steal their website?

...paying for the dissolution of the black family.

Those welfare payments were available to whites, blacks and hispanics. The people themselves chose to have babies out of wedlock. That path was not forced upon them by the Democrats.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

I think you’re right.

[nikos1121]

Hmmm. If you are going to receive money if you’re not married and have children compared to if you’re married, hmmm....seems like an insentive to have a baby out of wedlock. An since they don’t prosecute the father, or did much back then. And yes, I’m aware of it being available to whites, hispanics etc. LBJs liberal programs hurt more than helped.

[ladyjane]

The point I was trying to make was about personal responsibility. Yes, we can blame the Democrats for making welfare payments available to girls having babies out of wedlock but the ultimate responsibility comes down to the individual who chooses to take from society rather than to contribute.
