Obama's Church

Election 2008: Since we first drew attention to Barack Obama's Afrocentric church a full 12 months ago, other media have weighed in. And additional disturbing information has come to light. At the core of the Democratic front-runner's faith — whether lapsed Muslim, new Christian or some mixture of the two — is African nativism, which raises political issues of its own.

In 1991, when Obama joined the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, he pledged allegiance to something called the Black Value System, which is a code of non-Biblical ethics written by blacks, for blacks. Wright makes the Rev. Jesse Jackson look almost moderate and patriotic. Yet this is whom Obama picked to baptize his daughters, plus to act as his "sounding board" during his presidential run.

The candidate already has heeded his church's "nonnegotiable commitment to Africa," spending an inordinate amount of his campaign time on the Kenyan crisis, for one. Obama has close family ties to Kenya, and even founded a school in his ancestral village — the Senator Obama School.

In the bloody conflict there, which already has claimed some 700 lives, Obama appears to have sided with opposition leader Raila Odinga, head of the same Luo tribe to which Obama's late Muslim father belonged.

Obama's older brother still lives there. Abongo "Roy" Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture." He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage.

Beyond family politics, these ties have potential foreign policy, even national security, implications.

Odinga is a Marxist who reportedly has made a pact with a hard-line Islamic group in Kenya to establish Shariah courts throughout the country.

BBC April 13, 2008 President Mwai Kibaki named opposition leader Raila Odinga as the new prime minister, after the pair agreed the deal on Saturday in secret talks.

For someone who has written several books about his life, why is it that Obama remains such an enigma? Do we really know who this guy is?

[Deetes]

NO WE DON’T !!!!!

[miliantnutcase]

Yeah, he’s a garden variety communist.

[silverleaf]

We don’t even know who wrote his autobiogrpahy. Jack Cashill is making a pretty good case that the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers may have written at least one of Obama’s books for him.

[unspun]

Add yet another one to our Marxist Messiah’s list of collaborators.

[tallyhoe]

Yep! You are who you hang out with!

[BlessedBeGod]

How can this be breaking news when it’s from January 15th?

[tallyhoe]

It’s breaking to me I never saw this before!

[wac3rd]

MSM response....

“...crickets....”

Jack Cashill is making a pretty good case that the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers may have written at least one of Obama’s books for him.

I read that article and found it interesting.

I think a better case can be made, that Ayers "polished" Obama's fable, "Dreams..." Obama had blown one advance and accepted a second, so he had more than an outline, but not a book. As Cashill points out, some of the language in "Dreams..." had to have come from someone like an English professor.

It would have been mutually beneficial to both men who have been associated since 1985 and worked many projects together.

I have read that there are allegations that Obama had lots of friendly editors on "Audicity," including David Axelrod.

How Kennedyesque.

That "Senator Obama School" is just pathetic. He's one of those types desperately in need of monuments to himself. If his head were any more swelled up you could just tie a string to his ankle and float him from campaign stop to campaign stop.

Given that his close relatives are radical Islamists bent on forcing the people to bow under Sharia law, I wonder: is the Senator Obama School secular??

[cake_crumb]

"Jack Cashill is making a pretty good case that the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers may have written at least one of Obama’s books for him"

Really? The guy Obama says he barely knows? Just some guy on his street? That would be interesting.

Granting us access to the school and its records, Principal Obiero, 48, tells us: “Senator Obama has not honoured the promises he gave me when we met in 2006 and in his earlier letter to the school. He has not given us even one shilling. But we still have hope.”

Literally, they have hope for change. In the form of shillings. But The One has not brought them the change he promised. From Michelle Malkin.com Which brother is it that was homeless for ten years and now lives in a shack?

[Son House]

Yet this is whom Obama picked to baptize his daughters

.
And let them listen to sermons for all of their lives, will they also Parrot Rev Wright?

[grumpa]

If there is still a written pledge in that church, it should be made public.

[TornadoAlley3]

Where are the Rev Wright ads? I thought everyone had heard of him by now and his “GD America”.

I was in my small town, red state beauty shop last week and talking about the election with the ladies there, (all are voting for McCain) but - several of them said they had never heard of Obama’s preacher or what he had said and their jaws dropped when I told them.

Bring on the Ayers and Wright ads!

The “Senator Obama School” is pitiful in more ways than one.

The senator promised money to fund it, but hasn’t followed through. He got the glory, but the kids aren’t getting an education.
