Let me get this: a largely atheistic profession, newspaper “journalism” is writing about a demonstrably atheistic politician having a “private” faith?

Who are they trying to fool? Themselves? Do they think people of faith BELIEVE what they’re writing anymore?

Really—Ms. Kornblut got PAID to write this crap?

On issue after issue, Preckwinkle presented Obama as someone who thrived in the world of Chicago politics. She suggested that Obama joined Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ for political reasons. “It’s a church that would provide you with lots of social connections and prominent parishioners,” she said. “It’s a good place for a politician to be a member.”

Bullsh*t.

Obama prays to the real God about as often as the Pope prays to Mohammed.

What garbage. David Axelrod is behind this scheme to give 0bongo some right wing appeal. Plus some liberals are religious. Blacks go to church a lot

Axelrod’s doing
0bongo is too dumb and ideological to figure this out

Every morning, sometimes as early as 5:30 a.m., a short religious passage comes across President Obama's BlackBerry, sent by one of his aides.

Allahu Akbar?

I try to keep in mind that no leader leads without the Lord permitting it. God gives us the freedom to choose good or evil and the freedom to live with the choices we make. America voted for Obama. We chose poorly, now we get to deal with it. That’s how people learn, taking responsibility for and living with bad choices.

BTW, I’m convinced the Obama administration is as evil as they come. Wealth redistribution, for example, is just a nice way to say thievery. Support for abortion is support for murder. Spending money you don’t have and placing that burden on others is also theft. Coveting what other people have is greed. Wanting to punish them for their success is based on envy. Yeah, the left pretty much thrives on the very worst of man’s nature, and Obama is the high priest of the left.

“...At other moments, Obama prays privately, ...”

When he prays does he say “G*d d*mn America, or does he concatenate those words?

Screw Obama to the depths of the septic tank.

Interesting choice of words . . . "a short religious passage." If I were conveying this, I would have said "a short Bibple passage."

Just food for thought . . .

Whether he’s doing it intentionally and knowledgeably or not,

he’s doing Satan’s bidding to the ‘T’.

I’m sure you’ve seen my tagline...:)
