"Smile everyone!"
Posted on 08/16/2008 1:25:58 PM PDT by pissant
A new ad from the Matthew 25 Network, a liberal pastors' group that supports Barack Obama, commends him for being a good family man.
The impliciation is that John McCain -- who has admitted to cheating on his first wife with the blond mistress who became his second and current wife -- comes up short in this regard.
Among those featured in the ad is Kirbyjon Caldwell, the Houston pastor who is a family friend of George W. Bush. (He officiated at Jenna's wedding this spring.) Despite remaining close to the Bushes, Caldwell has endorsed Obama.
McCain is never mentioned in the ad, but at one point, Caldwell says, "Throughout his entire career, Sen. Obama has stood by familes."
Caldwell's wife, Suzette, seated next to him, responds: "Including his own."
Caldwell nods, smiles, and says, "Hmmmm."
Steven Waldman, the editor-in-chief of Beliefnet.com, says the ad is to run during televised coverage of the two candidates' appearance tonight at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church in Orange County, Calif.

Comparing McCain’s life experiences with Obammie’s life experiences is totally moronic. Obammie has been coddled all his life and spent his life riding America’s free gravy train. He didn’t fly jets in Vietnam and then spend 6 years being beaten and tortured by a bunch of flaming, Commie a———s. Saddleback? This sounds more like Brokeback.
Is calling his grandma who acted as mother a racist and throwing her under the bus considered “standing by his family”.
It's more like 'barackback'.
What else will the Democrats do? They have to make Obama look good, so will the rest have affairs and beat their children?
I don't approve of McCain and how he handled his first wife but this is idiotic and Obama in NOT A CHRISTIAN.
“Is calling his grandma who acted as mother a racist and throwing her under the bus considered “standing by his family”.”
Ah, she’s just “typical WHITE folk”.
Whites are beneath the new black messiah.
She deserves to be run over many times by the bus.
sarcasm off
Oh yeah, Larry the Liar, the truckdriver rumours and all.
It’s funny when the Left tries to promote “family values” - they need to know their subject first. They used to say the same thing about the Breck Girl -how brave he was and what a family man he was. Until last week.
Really, I don't get it. . .
Don't get either; how if Rick Warren is - from what I understand - asking same questions of both McCain and Obama; how fair and enlightening can their meeting be; given Obama will never be asked about Liberation Theology - and what it means to him. . .having been so 'informed' by this Faith, for so many years at his home church, Trintiy United Church of Christ.
Seems the truth of Obama, for these Liberal Pastors; is out to lunch and not coming back anytime soon.
And BJ Clinton’s comments were......
LOL. Barak should be scared to death to cheat on Michelle. I mean that literally. That’s one scary girl.
O lived with a women out of wedlock, I wouldn’t be slinging any mud if I were him.
I see the Bushes continue to select their family friends with care and discretion. A quote from Billyboy Clinton, Bar and Poppy's "other son" will probably be next.
You lying sack of crap! Obama's support for gay marriage helps drive a knife into the backs of families.
Well, Barry’s marriage (1992) may have suffered some sort of “7 Year Itch” (1999) which may have included a limo, a gay dude, and some coke. Was that a smear, or just another quirky or exotic vignette on Barry’s historic march to the White House? Pardon me while I puke.
Come on guys, let’s be fair.
BHO may not be able to claim any “qualifications”, or legitimate “accomplishments”, but which is closer to being an accomplishment:
- being married to Cindy?
- being married to Marxelle?
Come on guys, that’s putting up with a lot...
Rev Caldwell is participating in a smear of McCain.
How Christian of him.
I’m sure he stood by Bill Clinton.
As he will stand by Larry and Barry.
How Warren and others who claim to be Christians can support someone who murders the unborn is beyond belief.
There is lot of these so-called Christian churches sitting out on the edge of the bible doing their own interpretation as to what ever makes them feel good.
In my book if you support Obama and his murderous views then you are a Christin in name only (CINO).
Why can't they see that? Never mind. I know.
