Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell, the minister who presided over the recent marriage of President Bush’s daughter Jenna, has launched a pro-Barack Obama Web site sharply critical of conservative stalwart James Dobson.
Caldwell, leader of the largest Methodist congregation in the country, launched his “James Dobson Does Not Speak For Me” site a day after Dobson’s Focus on the Family radio program aired a statement charging that Obama distorted the Bible to fit “his own confused theology.”
The site urges readers to sign a statement declaring that Dobson does not represent them.
The statement reads in part:
“James Dobson doesn't speak for me.
“He doesn't speak for me when he uses religion as a wedge to divide.
“He doesn't speak for me when he speaks as the final arbiter on the meaning of the Bible…

I certainly, in some ways can’t disagree with you. However, in lieu of yesterday’s Supreme Court decision, I am glad we have had him.
I am disappointed in Kirbyjon Caldwell, Armstrong Williams and all the other black Christians, and/or conservatives who are saying that they are supporting Obama because he is black. I thought they were Christians and/or conservatives who happened to be black, but they are not. At least they have revealed themselves for who they are.
Someone raised the issue recently why the Minister of the Methodist Church they attended (and will attend) in Dallas didn’t perform the wedding.
It was a good question then, and an even better question now.
“This guy is out of Houston, not exactly a Crawford local.....how the heck did Jenna find him?”
In fairness, Jenna hasn’t really ever lived in Crawford, either. It has only been a Bush vacation home since it was built.
You got that right. Kirbyjohn Caldwell = racist.
Furthermore, Obama was recently quoted as saying there were “many ways” people can get to Heaven.
If he believes that, then it’s conclusive . . he’s NOT a Christian.
“How much churchgoing in Houston has she done in the last eight years?”
You know Jenna well, yes?
What an snarky remark to make.
(my apologies if I misunderstand that remark.)
Finally, a website for all the Dr. Dobson hating freepers to gather.
I have lost respect for all conservatives who have said they may vote for Obama just because he's black.
LOL!
Kirbyjohn prayed a great prayer at Bush’s inauguration. This is disappointing.
And I remember just catching grief from Moderators for having the audacity to hammer away at other freepers fawning over that ‘wonderful wedding’.
I would not be surprised to see Jenna create a Pro Obama website.
Just another phony guilt ridden White liberal looking for a way to publicly atone for his “sin” of marrying a Republican couple. Does anyone find it curious that this came out AFTER the wedding and his name got craved into the history books?
