CLICK TO WATCH 1995 INTERVIEW AT YOUTUBE

OBAMA: In times of economic scarcity, ahm, generally, ahh, the politicians in this country, right now, ahh, want to look for scapegoats, want to organize around race, as opposed to around principle, and around values, ahh, and I think that's a mistake, and I think that can be countered, but it's gonna require the kinds of grassroots mobilization, ahh, and, and the kinds of work at a local level that I think, ahh, I talk about a lot in, in those chapters on Chicago.

INTERVIEWER: Wonderful man there, Reverend Wright?

OBAMA: Right! [ED: WRIGHT ?!?] And...

INTERVIEWER: Yeah...

OBAMA: ...ahh, who is, who is, ahh, my pastor, and, ahh, he is a wonderful man, and I think it, ahh, that's an example of, ahh, he's a pastor of a, of a large congregation in Chicago, and one of the interesting things that I discovered in my journey to discover...

INTERVIEWER: Mmm-hmm...

OBAMA: ...what my identity is, and who my father is, is also discovering sort of, ahh, my own faith, which, which is not, ahh, necessarily a traditional faith - I don't come out of an institutionalized religious setting, but, ahh, ahh, what becomes important to me is I work with, ahh, churches in...

INTERVIEWER: Mmm-hmm...

OBAMA: ...the South Side of Chicago in low income neighborhoods, ahh, is to realize that, you know, all the stories and songs of the church, ahh, you know that, that, the hope that is embodied...

INTERVIEWER: Yeah...

OBAMA: ...in the church, that, that the sense of, of, of, of liberation that is embodied in the African-Am, historically African-American church, ahh, is really something that, that, that moves me deeply, and I think ahh, ahh, is probably the main pillar around which a lot of inner cities', ahh, communities are going to be built, and Reverend Wright ahh, ahh, my pastor who, I, I speak about in the chapter in the book, I think represents the best of what, ah, The Black Church has to offer.

Can anyone here figure out how to set up the Reverend Wright mp3 in the link below as a ring tone I can send to a cell phone? It doesn't work for Verizon phones:

“Politics aside, Obama is damaged goods. All of this mental masturbation over his awol father?!”

Agreed!

As the SNL actor that played Biden in the Debate Sketch:

“As my mother would say; God love ‘em, but he’s a raving maniac!”

He used “in times of scarcity...” to apply to 1995. He now talks about those as the wonderful days of the Clinton administration. He is so full of crap.

What is it that attracts Obama to the "church"?

What is this non-traditional faith which he has discovered for himself?

It's not Christianity. At least how 96% of Christians recognize it to be. Obama has a totally distorted view of it. Back in March, while answering a question about his Christian faith, Obama said died for his sins and through God’s grace and mercy he could have “everlasting life,” according to the Los Angeles Times.

I mean, I'm Jewish and even I know enough Christian theology to say that Jesus did not die for HIS sins, but for all Mankind, and that Jesus did have eternal life, not could have.

Well, what do you expect from a Muslim?
