Anybody know the origins of this "keepin' the spirits clean" thing? I've never heard of it before.

I dunno, maybe the Soetoros are switching from malt liquor to Everclear.

Why would this convert anyone to atheism? It ain’t Christian. We don’t clean spirits, we kick em’ back to the devil where they belong.

I thought it was The Mom of Moochelle who was in charge of all the spirits running through the White Hut. In fact, she'd better get back to work slaughtering those Santeria chickens for the Thursday night dinner party.

My guess is that it comes from the grandma who practices black magic in the WH. She must be having problems in communicating with the spirit world these days.

Biden wants the spirits to be articulate and bright, clean, and nice-looking.

I’ve heard that her mother practices Santería — basically voodoo.

Is that Voodoo or something?

I’ve been praying for the spirits to take a big bite of obama ego. It seems to be working. Prayers up Spirits.

Sounds like a political death-bed conversion.

After 20 years attending the ‘Church of What’s Wrong with GD America’ she has no clue.

White House social secretary broke protocol
Flap as O aide ducks ‘crash’ hearing
By CHUCK BENNETT

Last Updated: 11:42 AM, December 3, 2009

...

Desiree Rogers, the White House social secretary, thought she was the belle of the ball at last week's state dinner — gussied up in a spectacular Comme des Garçons gown and seating herself as if she were an honored guest.

...

Rogers was named twice as queen of the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club, a Mardi Gras krewe dating back to 1916. She was first queen in 1988. Her father was instrumental in leading the krewe from a dwindling band of fewer than 100 black men in the early 1970s to a robust, financially healthy and racially integrated krewe by the 1990s. Glapion served variously as finance chairman, president and chairman of the Zulu board. In 2000 Rogers reprised the reign in honor of her father, who died in 1999. Rogers’ mother, Joyce Glapion, now retired, was also active in Carnival. [10]

Rogers is an Obama family friend.

Now do you have more questions about the “spirits”?

Doesn't a former Zulu Pleasure Queen, Desiree Rogers, help the “spirits” question ?

It could be German or Norwegian in origin. My family was ethnically German and used to explain to me what phrases such as “Gesundheit” were about good health. Anyway, I’ve been too corrupted out of German culture to know. Perhaps someone else who is more fluent in the German backstory could tell more.

“They keep their spirits clean by making their teachings about others and not about themselves.By keep pointing the finger at everyone outside of you you can distract individuals who are looking for something more in their lives.”

“Keep them from reading or twist what they have read and you have people willing to believe ‘bout anything. In doing this you can close their eyes to what is transpiring in their own lives and that they’re being robbed and are making this man rich while they remain in poverty.”

“And as long as the preacher is hearing amen he can stay clean in his own spirit to the day of judgment”

I think the phrase must be rooted somewhere within the twisted-speak of “Liberation Theology”. (Marxism in a religious wrapper)

I don't know, but sounds like voodoo to me. They have an unusual focus on spirits and keeping things 'clean' so to speak. Such as sprinkling red brick dust in a doorway to keep out the 'unclean' spirits. Its even more interesting that Michelle's mama was caught practicing some sort of voodoo/hoodoo or something in the white house at some point. She doesn't get these ideas from any stranger!

Definitely isn't a Christian comment that's for darn sure.
