Rising black star of Democrats connects with evangelicals
IN THE latest sign that the “God gap” between Republicans and Democrats is narrowing, one of America’s biggest evangelical churches will this week welcome Senator Barack Obama, the rising African-American star of the Democratic party who has become a leading contender for the 2008 presidential elections. Obama will appear on Friday at the Saddleback church in Lake Forest, California, where at least 20,000 conservative Christians gather each week for services led by Pastor Rick Warren, the evangelical author of the bestselling inspirational book The Purpose Driven Life.
At first glance Warren and Obama appear the unlikeliest of allies — the conservative white preacher and the liberal black Democrat — yet aides to both confirmed last week that they have formed an intriguing friendship that may prove a key element in the next presidential campaign.

"I am at a loss of words..."
I'm not.
But I don't want to get banned.
never trusted "megachurches," either.
Pro-abort, pro-late term abortion, pro-homosexual everything, pro embryonic cell research...not Christian..
The pious wimpy GOP is leading the way as Conservatives everywhere circle the political drain.
We will not see another Republican administration for 20 years.
Our time was squandered by country club elitists.
Sorry... I forgot the BARF ALERT!!!!
"the conservative white preacher and the liberal black Democrat"
If the Times labels him a liberal then just how far left is this guy?!
This information has been posted in various forms from different publications over the past few days. It seems to me that two cynical cons are conspiring for a power grab aided by an all too willing liberal media army.
CINO !
now what....?
will the mainstream press declare him saint obama or will they play coy and
suggest that he is something more special?
oh, what a drama.....stay tuned.
hmmm...should be..
Obama lifted by hand of allah
It AMAZES me how someone's past speech and actions support all of these awful things, yet he can set foot in a church and say, "Hey, I'm a Christian just like you" and everyone "ooh's and ahhh's" and BELIEVES him and overlooks the fruits of his actions.
People are sheep.
If Obama is standing in Hillary's way, she WILL have him knocked off.
What makes them think Warren is Conservative?
"He (Obama)f irst dazzled his party with an electrifying speech to its 2004 presidential convention and is now frequently described in the American media as the next Bill Clinton or even the next John F Kennedy."
- - - or The Beast?
Yeah. That's a pretty good evaluation.
Nope....
"will the mainstream press declare him saint obama or will they play coy and
suggest that he is something more special? "
Or how about "The Beast and his False Prophet"?
This reporter, and the MSM in general, are hoping for a Clinton/Obama ticket in 08.
