Obama family to worship at Shiloh Baptist Church for Easter
Washington Post ^ | April 24, 2011 | Hamil Harris

Posted on 04/24/2011 6:42:27 AM PDT by Zakeet

Long before the sun rose over the Shiloh Baptist Church, people were passing through metaldetectors at the historic African American congregation where President Barack Obama and his family will celebrate Easter.

[Snip]

Rev. Wallace Charles Smith, in the church's program, said, "We are honored to welcome to our 10 a.m. Easter service President Barack Obama, First LadyMichelle Obama, and daughters Malia and Sasha. Shiloh prays for the first family every Sunday and we thank God for the wonderful inspiration they provide to our nation."

[Snip]

The 3,000-member D.C. congregation [was] started by freed slaves.

You aren’t thinking of the National Arboretum, are you? Anyway, that’s very, very close to the other side of the Anacostia River, and Obama doesn’t do “esst of the river”. It’s a black class thing.

No, but Rev. Wright DOES apparently attend the Shiloh Church (see Wright with head down looking mad) in article.

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dc/2008/04/rev_jeremiah_wright_quiet_at_h.html

And apparently, the pastor of the Shiloh church is another ‘less than desirable’ black minister... one of many that the Obamas seem to embrace. Dee a pattern here?

Does this moron think we are fools..He has been campaigning for the last year and now decides to go to Church..give me a break..Is he going to start carrying the Bible under his arm like the pervert and Chief Clinton..Maybe he can do a little gig for us when he visits the black churches..Don't gel me wrong I have nothing against dancing to the lord but when a communist muslim starts doing the dance it makes me angry..And the sad thing is the blacks believe he has the spirit..

What kind of Christian sits in a church for 20 years in which the pastor spews anti-american and anti-white hatred on a weekly basis, and only abandons that church when it gets some negative publicity?

“The 3,000-member D.C. congregation [was] started by freed slaves.”

And the great divide continues.

Yeah... the thing nobody wants to really discuss (Hanity a little).. but especially “The Great One” won’t discuss it.... this is about Race. Obama does what he does because he’s a racist. It’s not that he’s a marxist, or a socialist or whatever. He’s a racist and it’s that simple. He wants to empower poor black people. To make them more wealthy, provide them health care, more and better opportunities etc etc. That’s it. Until people understand he’s a racist and everything he does is about race we’ll never get understanding of the issues America has now.

LOL! I passed that horrific thing often on way to Cincy from Dayton area. It really was pathetic. Even heard the pastor there (who lives on other side of I-75 in huge mansion and has an elaborate horse barn that matches his house, must be good to be king). Heard the minister originally wanted a huge plexi-glass sheet placed under the surface of the pond so that he could walk on water...geeez. But sure fits with the statue.

As for uhbama-he sets a pathetic example of Christianity for his nation if he is a Christain.

Aren't Muslims encouraged to lie ( to infidels, of course) if it furthers their ultimate purpose?

He is attending the service, he worships down the street at the mosque.

That’s why Reagan did not attend public worship services either....but Reagan truly embraced Christianity, Øbama uses it as a prop.

Do they know what time service is at and how long it lasts?

Just a jive turkey putting in a campaign appearance. More Hopey Changey showmanship from the red diaper doper baby.
