If he had stayed for the entire service, I might have thought he really meant to look at this chucrch for attendance...but he was in and out and the quotes and photos are what he was after.
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
Posted on 06/15/2008 3:26:58 PM PDT by BloodOrFreedom
Obama headed to church this Father’s Day Sunday in his hometown of Chicago — the first time he’s been to church since he severed relations with his former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright. The Obama family attended services at Chicago’s Apostolic Church of God, one of the city’s largest African American congregations and just six and a half miles from Obama’s former place of worship, Trinity Church of Christ.
Longtime church leader Bishop Arthur Brazier greeted his “good friend” warmly and touchingly noted, “[Obama] has done something [in] this country that I never thought I would live to see.” He continued, “I am filled with emotion because I have lived through some very tough times in America. But the America today is not the America of yesteryear. And I don’t think, I don’t think it behooves us well to keep talking about the past. The Apostle Paul said forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out to the things that are before.”
At the end of his speech, Obama thanked Apostolic for their hospitality and urged them to pray for him and for Michelle. The senator left the sanctuary before the actual sermon to be delivered by Bishop Brazier’s son Byron Brazier and didn’t get a chance to hear Apostolic’s prayer for him.
With his head bowed, the younger Brazier said as worshipers joined hands, “We ask that you give him great wisdom, knowledge, power and understanding. We pray that you give him the mind of Christ, so that when he speaks, demons will tremble, mountains will be removed, and when the firing guards of the enemy are flung his way, that the prayers of the saved protect him and let the world know that no weapon formed against him shall prosper.”

Now here's a true believer. He really cares about his spirituality /s/

Wait, sounds like an endorsement to me...Aren't the churches not allowed to do that? Shouldn't this one lose its tax-shelter benefits?

They’re always “good friends.”
I’ll bet the Obama’s missed the all hate America stuff they used to hear every Sunday.
If he had stayed for the entire service, I might have thought he really meant to look at this chucrch for attendance...but he was in and out and the quotes and photos are what he was after.
So, was the family with him on this “drive by” visit?
Good pickup...Had he truly been interested in his faith he would have stayed. I think he is merely trying to reach out and delude the religious community to acquire their votes.
Now I don't want to give him any clues...but next week....maybe a Hispanic church....
after that....an audience with the pope.....Oops...Pope might not like his abortion views...Too risky...
From the article:
"The Obama family attended services at Chicago's Apostolic Church of God, one of the city's largest African American congregations and just six and a half miles from Obama's former place of worship, Trinity Church of Christ."
Surprise, surprise.
That way he can deny having heard whatever was said from the pulpit.
Would you trust your dog with this thug?
Would you sit next to this thug on a subway?
OHH WEEELLL....:-P
“Left before the sermon” now qualifies as “going to church”. School kids should capitalize on this new English...
Ping
What is he doing in a real church, anyway? Must have been pretty boring without the radical, racist, anti-American rant and screaming of the fine Rev. Wright....maybe he had a prayer rug out in the car!!
That’s premature benediction, isn’t it? I think there are pills for that.
“The senator left the sanctuary before the actual sermon to be delivered by Bishop Brazier’s son Byron Brazier and didn’t get a chance to hear Apostolic’s prayer for him.”
Photo op, wasn’t it?
Lowlife, dirtbag Mr “Screw Whitey” Obama-Osama & Mrs “America Is Mean” Skank’s, Sunday photo op.
Sickening, lowlife, racist, bigoted socialist scum, IMO.

Very good! You left out a few, but that covers alot it...
Maybe that's why he left before the sermon. Since this church was only 6-1/2 miles from his old TToC, he could probably sneak in and get his weekly injection of racism
He’s beginning to act like LIVE SHOT kerry as we call him here in GAYsachusetts, ANYTHING for a photo op,,,,remember just recently when fat teddy was at Mass General Hospital,,,,,whose freakin’ face did we see.......LIVE SHOT kerry getting out of the SUV to go visit his buddy, obamarama is practicing the same nonsense, anything to get his face out there.........
