Christians Optimistic But Disappointed in Obama

Conservative evangelical and Catholic leaders who went out on a political limb by aligning themselves with the Obama administration are expressing feelings ranging from disappointment to optimism in their reaction to the president's decisions so far on culture war issues.

Although most of President Obama's moves on abortion and stem cell research have been expected, some right-leaning Christian leaders who took a risk sitting down at the table with a Democratic president feel that several major decisions fall short of the common ground Obama had promised on divisive social issues.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment

Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

[upsdriver]

What the hell did they expect?

[Wisconsinlady]

That’s what happens when you make a deal with the Devil.
Hello, people, He is a LIAR!!!!!!!

[unkus]

So called Conservative Christians who even thought of supporting 0bama were and are FOOLS. They should be asking Him for forgiveness.

...some right-leaning Christian leaders who took a risk sitting down at the table with a Democratic president feel that several major decisions fall short of the common ground Obama had promised on divisive social issues...these guys deserve everything they're going to get - the rest of us don't......

Of all those named in the article, I suspect at least half (maybe more) are black. That drives their vote more than their “faith.”

[hoosierham]

A man who referred to a baby as punishment is not a man conservatives and Christians should be trusting.

[GodGunsGuts]

Talk about lack of discernment. If this were Rome, they’d probably be saying, “he is Nero after all, we knew he’d be throwing Christians to the lions.”

What in the world has Obama done to give Christians any reason to feel even slightly optimistic???

[anniegetyourgun]

Douglas Kmiec, a Pepperdine University law professor, Catholic opponent of abortion and former Reagan administration lawyer who became a lightning rod in the Catholic community for endorsing Obama, said he was encouraged by the administration's first seven weeks.

Sadly, there are so many under the delusion....

No Christian worth a diddly would vote for a commie.

[anniegetyourgun]

Spot on, GGG.

[Lakeshark]

How do these folks not feel a combination of agony and stupidity, having voted for someone who they now know holds beliefs that are the antithesis of theirs. Those who voted for him not knowing who he was need to have "sucker" stamped all over them.

And they ain't see nothing yet. It's going to get worse.

[unkus]

These so-called leaders should look up the definition of MINISTER. They are not guiding their flocks...they are leading their sheep to the slaughter.

Which 'Catholic Leaders' were those? Douglas Kmiec? Congresscritters? I wouldn't call them 'Catholic Leaders', though they may call themselves Catholic, they're not anyone's leaders in the faith.

[mylife]

Oh Puhleeze.

Time for penance

[Darren McCarty]

I told you so! Now it's time for all of you to assume the position and take your punishment from your boys Doug Niedermeyer and Greg Marmalad.

Douglas Kmiec
This fool needs to be first in line. "Thank you sir may I have another!"
