Barack Obama called "active faith" an obligation of religious Americans and a chief agent of societal change in a speech yesterday at the national meeting of a black church group.
Stopping for about two hours in St. Louis, the Democratic presidential nominee implored thousands of members of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the nation's largest and most politically active black denominations, to help fix national and local ills.
He preached individual responsibility, saying he knew he risked criticism for "blaming the victim" by talking about the need for parents to help children with homework and turn off the television to pass on a healthy self-image to daughters, and teach boys both to respect women and "realize that responsibility does not end at conception."
But Obama's main message was the government's duty to address what he said are "moral problems" - such as war, poverty, joblessness, homelessness, violent streets, and crumbling schools - and to employ religious institutions to do it.

Barry wants to do away with the separation of church and state
Black liberation theology or Nation of Islam?
“He preached individual responsibility, saying he knew he risked criticism for “blaming the victim” by talking about the need for parents to help children with homework and turn off the television to pass on a healthy self-image to daughters, and teach boys both to respect women and “realize that responsibility does not end at conception.”
Obama thinks saying those things might be considered “blaming the victim”? Those things are just day-to-day choices millions of parents must consider. This guy has a twisted way of looking at most everything.
Looks more like a thinly veiled call to jihad.
With Obama we higher taxes, more spending, bigger government, a community organizer as CIC, open borders, amnesty for illegals, and promoting the culture of death.
Sounds like a liberal paradise.
Were any on the right to say anything remotely close to this, the left would spot their panties.
Only because BO is transparantly insincere do they remain calm.
realize that responsibility does not end at conception.
In Barry’s world, responsibility can end anytime within the first nine months from conception by simply murdering that little nuisance of a child in the womb.
Quark probably wouldn’t be happy with this portrayal of commieObama - and it isn’t a good thing to p*** off a capitalist Ferengi.........
Were he a Republican, the media would be portraying him as a religious fanatic trying to impose his religion on all of us.

"Baphomet", btw, is a linguistic corruption of "Mohamet".
Coincidence?
Black liberation theology or Nation of Islam?
When the chips are down I think he said he would defer to Islam.
faith in gay marriage and late term abortion?
O’Bama’s amateurish social psychology is tired.

Of the actual Jesus, he has no faith whatsoever.
Barrack Hussein Obama may soon add mandatory community service to his platform...service to Islam.
No shi’ite..
