ST. LOUIS Sen. Barack Obama declared Saturday to a roaring crowd of religious African-Americans at the America's Center that they should have no doubt of his commitment to his Christian faith, his nation or his political principles.
In an address filled with religious and patriotic imagery, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president told delegates attending a national conference here of the African Methodist Episcopal Church that his career and his life revolved around his belief that "I won't be fulfilling the Lord's Will unless I'm doing the Lord's work.''
That commitment would continue to influence his performance and his politics if he wins the White House, Obama said, igniting repeated cheers and standing ovations as he reaffirmed his proposals to expand on faith-based government initiatives begun by President George W. Bush.
And in a pointed jab at the national news media, Obama singled out denomination leaders who he said could attest to reporters that "I've been talking about this for a couple years now. Don't think this is news."
Among other things, Obama said that most of the nation's challenges "of war and poverty, joblessness and homelessness, violence on the streets and in the public schools...are not simple technical problems in search of a perfect 10-point plan. They are also moral problems rooted in social indifference and individual callousness."
Churches have a role in tackling such issues, he explained, much as they had roles in the past fighting various injustices -- from the oppression that the American colonies felt under British rule, to the battles to abolish slavery at home and expand rights for women.

I don’t recall Pres. Bush going around in 2000 and 2004 proclaiming his faith and his patriotism. And he has a whole lot more of both than Obambi does.

Anyone that says his favorite “god” is the “Monkey god” is not a Christian. Obama is to receive his gold covered monkey god the day before the Deocratic Convention. I hope people will all wake up.

Barack Hussein Obama: Muslim call to prayer
‘one of the prettiest sounds on Earth’

He’s lying, big time.
I guess he thinks the sheeple are not smart enough to figure out killing babies is not one of GODS Comandments!
The more he talks, the deeper hole he digs!
You gotta be shi**en me!
I typed in ‘aborition’ and I got ‘progress’!!
Can you imagine GOP nominee for President (in today’s world) saying he aimed to do “the Lord’s work”? The Left would go absolutely bonkers, charging him with intending to implement a theocracy.
*abortion
he’s all over the place,
and will mccain be able to nail him?
Barack Obama wouldn’t know what “the Lord’s” work was if he was struck right between the eyes by one of His lightning bolts.
Did do this though
Great minds...
“He is deceived big time.”
I agree with your statement. Another way of stating it would be: “He is a deceiver big time.”
hehe
Anybody want to guess what he has in mind?
president woodrow wilson thought he had god’s mandate.
Try ‘anti-american’ and you get the same thing
"Smells like BS"
little kids going to mandatory ‘training’.
What “service and sacrifice” has he made? Sitting in the Illinois and U.S. Senates? No one kept him from joining the military. I am roughly his age, and I spent six years in the service, but he was too good to put on a uniform? He wanted to be president all of his life, but he didn’t know that non-veterans have a tough time getting elected? I don’t think this guy is anywhere near as smart as we are being told he is...
This works.

I think a lot of babies have already made the ultimate sacrifice for you, Hussein. And the American people have sacrificed materially for your socialist Demonrat friends' ideas to the tune of trillions of $.
Well then, Obama should take to heart the Biblical pronouncement that "it is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven." He could serve as a caring example for the rest of society. by donating his millions to charity, moving out of his mansion and joining the homeless and becoming an itinerant preacher.
(Sweetheart deals with crooks like Tony Rezko not allowed.)
One of Bush's dumbest ideas. Obama will use it to funnel millions to churches like Wright's and Pfleger's. Maybe Ayers and Dohrn will suddenly "get religion" too, to cash in on the scheme. To be PC and multicultural, Federal aid will have to go to madrassas, mosques, Wiccans, and Gaia-cultists.
His “pastor” of 20 years, “Reverend” Wright preached a message that was Louis Farrakhan with the Bible mixed in. If Obama is a “Christian” he must be in the “Nation of Jesus.”
LOL!
Sadly black people are lapping up this verbal vomit about “the Lord’s work” and licking it off the boots of their wannabe black president-messiah.
L0L!!
He should have joined a religious order or became an Imam!
What my tag line has said for months. Then I will believe in him!
“...the Lord’s work...”
As in ‘Lord Vader’ (sp), from the “dark side” of marxism, socialism, communism?
For those who haven't done it, you get "progress." That's stupid.
To beat these censors, just type the work in with spaces between letters. R a c i s t works as does A b o r t i o n. At least until they figure out a way to censor that.
