Jenna Wedding Pastor Starts Pro-Obama Web Site

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 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.

Hi Warriormom,

First, if your screenname means what I think it means, that you are the mom of one who served(s) or you are a mom who served(s), thank you and your son/daughter for your/their service.

Second, this here Freeper is a Christian Conservative Republican, American male "black". The first three are by choice, and the last three are by birth.

I guarantee you, in the strongest way I know how, there is NO WAY that this "C.C.R.A.M.B." is voting for He Who Must Not Be Middle Named, nor whoever is his peep (errr....Veep), nor any democrat. Not gonna do it...not gonna go there...never would it be prudent at ANY juncture.

Senior Pastor Kirbyjon Caldwell is pro abortion and a racist.

Does the Bush family even know a conservative?

The big question to me is does the Bush family want to know a conservative.

Caldwell have been a long time spiritual adviser to Bush. Before the wedding he already had declared his support for Obama.

I know I’ve heard this name before. This guy has been affiliated with the Bushies for some time now.

There’s still knee-jerk deniers of the obvious:

Jenna has never lived in Houston.

Most people who take their religion seriously want to be married either by their pastor, or by a close friend or mentor. There’s no report that Rev. Kirbyjohn was either to Jenna.

So he’s a family friend at best. Which squares with the initial analysis that Jenna has at best a passing interest in matters ecclesiastical.

“James Dobson doesn’t speak for me.

“He doesn’t speak for me when he uses religion as a wedge to divide.

I betcha that Reverend Wright fellow is a closer match though.

Not sure why this would come as a surprise to anyone, Newsmax included. The Reverend publicly endorsed Obama back in January 2008........

And I remember just catching grief from Moderators for having the audacity to hammer away at other freepers fawning over that ‘wonderful wedding’.

LOL--I have a funny image in my mind of you playing the part of the protagonist in Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

"Look, you fools! You're in danger! Can't you see? They're after you! They're after all of us! Our wives, our children, everyone! They're here already! YOU'RE NEXT!!!"

But now that I think about it, the guy in the movie was warning others not to become victims, while you are playing a victim.

Bush is such dumb ass, that he makes it a point to pick his enemies for posts in government, and even to marry his daugther. I have never seen anyone so bent on reaching out to people who will turn around and stab him in the back.

“He doesn't speak for me when he uses religion as a wedge to divide."

Oh, but Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Pfleger and the rest of Hussein Obama's people don't use religion as a 'wedge to divide?"

Is that why he allies himself with such monsters? Jesus said to beware of false prophets for they shall devour a person as wolves.

Dobson isn't a false prophet, but Wright, Farrakhan and Pfleger are!!!!!

The Obama camp's hypocrisy and double standards would actually be funny if we didn't live in such extremely dangerous times.

No numb-nuts, not playing a victim here. But I’m just going to continuing hammering on wusses like you until wusses like you wake up.
