Notes from Obama's Easter Service
Weekly Standard ^ | Mar 31, 2013 | DANIEL HALPER

President Obama and his family this morning went to Easter Sunday services at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. Here are notes on the Easter service from the pool reporter, which included this part, "It drives me crazy when the captains of the religious right are always calling us back ... for blacks to be back in the back of the bus ... for women to be back in the kitchen ... for immigrants to be back on their side of the border":

When I think of Rev. Wright, I wonder. He spoke about being in the back of the bus.

The reporter more than likely used his own words to convey the same message.

The Rev. Luis León, the Episcopal priest who was chosen to replace Louie Giglio of Passion City Church for President Barack Obama's benediction on Inauguration Day, said in his prayer that both gay and straight people were created in God's image.

Anyone who can't tell the race of the reporter who wrote those words, hasn't been paying attention these past few years. Black "reporters" are unafraid to voice their racist opinions in their stories. That is the ultimate end of electing the first "post-racialist" President.

I’d be surprised if they were baptized so far. They’re not Episcopal. This church is just their “show” church for the photo ops of Easter and Christmas. AFAIK we don’t know where Barack was baptized (if ever) either.

Obama is as much a racist as Sharpton or the “Reverend” Jackson.

Bears repeating.

Notes are flawed.

We don’t call for blacks to be at the back of the bus, we’ve been calling for them to clean themselves up, have regular families again, get off the government dole, work, and stop playing the race card everytime something doesn’t go their way.

We don’t call for women to be back in the kitchen, but we aren’t the ones who told them being there was worthless and being a stay at home mom isn’t important, being a parent to kids instead of working all day, paying for childcare with most of her salary, and coming home tired with dad and hardly having any time to be a parent.

We don’t call for all immigrants to get back on their side of the border, just the ones who think they can violate our immigration laws, and other laws once they are here, and also as a people have explicit plans to take over part of our country and call it “Aztlan”. We don’t go into their countries violating their immigration laws, and we know what they do to people who do violate their laws, they beat them up, take their stuff, and deport their butts deep back into their home countries. I say we ought to treat them as well as they treat illegal immigrants in their own countries. Fair is fair.

Funfan....just pray for OBama the way Tevye prayed for the Czar. “Rabbi, is there a blessing for the czar?” “A blessing for the czar, why of course: May God bless and keep the czar....far away from us!”

I wouldn’t call myself a “captain of the religious right” but I certainly wouldn’t mind Il Douche Baraka 0zero back in Indonesia.

I'm surprised he could enter a church.

“Captain of the religious right” wouldn’t be a bad screen name.

What “captains of the religious right” are telling blacks to get to the back of the bus?

I believe he is referring to the days when Democrats firmly controlled the entire South.

It didn’t resemble whatever this service was that the Obamas attended at all.

You mean a black racist political rally with hymns? Featuring a rich black guy watching over black people with huge unemployment rates and doing nothing but destroying the economy? Whose "family" spent the week skiing (what's that?) with a bunch of rich white people while he stayed back home hanging out with his "special friend" Reggie Love? Who takes huge donations from guilty rich "progressive" white people who STILL don't live anywhere near any black people and who don't REALLY want to even go skiing with them? And who doesn't really think anything in Christianity is nearly as beautiful as the Muslim call to prayer? And who can't find a church to go to yet? That the guy?
