Barack Obama sought out controversial gay bishop Gene Robinson not just once but three times during his campaign to become President of the United States, The Times can reveal.

Bishop Robinson, the 80-million strong Anglican Communion’s only openly gay bishop whose consecration in 2003 has left the Anglican Communion on the brink of schism, was sought out by Mr Obama to discuss what it feels like to be “first”.

Bishop Robinson, who received death threats after his election as Bishop of New Hampshire and was advised by police to wear a bullet-proof vest at his consecration, also discussed with Mr Obama the risks incumbent upon being a high-profile leader in a country such as the US.

What a maggot gagger.

Obama is a first all right. The first "black" president-elect who calls himself black when he is only 50% black, if that.

The first Black Liberation Theologist president-elect.

The first marxist quisling President elect.

The first President-elect that paid ACORN over $800K for fraudulent votes.

The first president-elect to be a memeber of the Socialist New Party.

The first president-elect who was a gay crack whore.

The first president-elect to have a member of the CPUSA as a mentor.

The first president-elect who couldn't pass a security clearance.

Lotsa firsts.

All Together Now! Ahhhhhhhhhh

[1000 silverlings]

maybe he plans on coming out

[Argus]

I thought this was from the Onion.

YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

I wonder just how this question was phrased.I'm sure the “bishop” would tell Osama,in minute detail,all about his “firsts”.Could we be in for a Bobby Lewinsky moment in that kitchen off of the Oval Office?

[beezdotcom]

Interesting analogy, insomuch as this “bishop” was the catalyst that split the American Episcopal church. It may be a more apt comparison than 0bama wants to admit.

First...or fist?

Sodom and Gomorrah repeat. Just because God is patient and long-suffering doesn’t mean He doesn’t exact judgment when He’s had enough. These people are playing with fire (and possibly brimstone, too).

[hflynn]

To BO: My guess is the Bishop said it was a real pain in the arse.

[beezdotcom]

Has the bishop had Larry Sinclair over for tea?

[RichInOC]

“Better than second, Senator. Second’s a lot sloppier.”

[Mac from Cleveland]

That’s what I was thinking-did the “bishop” say-”Want to be my second?”

[kbennkc]

You can't be first but you can be next .

[pissant]

ROFL. Both

[anniegetyourgun]

He said that Mr Obama had indicated his support for equal civil rights for gay and lesbian people and described the election as a “religious experience”.

I'm certain it is a spiritual thing with Obama.

[Leroy S. Mort]

He said that the Mr Obama was taller than he had expected and described him as “Lincolnesque”

I knew Lincoln. Lincoln was a friend of mine. Mr. Obama is no Lincoln.

[autumnraine]

I just pray He gives me the same consideration He gave Lot.

[Niuhuru]

This administration is getting funnier by the minute.

[hflynn]

Leroy, Obama is a Yugo not a Lincoln. Let’s hope he drives with pride in a Yugo because when you drive a Yugo it’s only a small matter of time before you go.

[pray4liberty]

I just pray He gives me the same consideration He gave Lot.

I, as well. God delivers the righteous and He always gives fair warning. We just have to watch ourselves closely to make sure we please God!

Right now we have a wicked Haman in power, but God will take care of him. I believe strongly that this election was to show God who truly belongs to Him, who is willing to compromise Him, and who has rejected Him.
