Putting on their Sunday best
Politics and gospel freely mix with Obama and Ford
By Halimah Abdullah Contact November 6, 2006
NASHVILLE -- Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois and Democratic congressional colleague Harold Ford Jr. testified to the power of God and the political process during a whirlwind tour of church services Sunday.
Ford's senatorial campaign, with Obama in tow, dropped in for a morning service at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, a large, predominantly African-American house of worship nestled in a Nashville strip mall. There, Obama and Ford did a little teaching and a whole lot of preaching.
"We appreciate our staffs that put in long hours, they work hard, they're sophisticated, they have polling. ... But the congressman said something pretty wise. We have another Manager," Obama said glancing upward briefly and smiling broadly at the gathering.
On the Sunday before the election, Ford and Obama's visit to Middle Tennessee congregations gave them one last chance to use the pulpit to rally supporters.

Quit putting up this picture!!!!! I am getting tired of running outside to throw up.
LOL!
I know but we just need to be reminded to GO VOTE! We don't want that WITCH as President one day!!!
Obama is a joke. I'm from IL and a strong Dem. told me yesterday that if Obama is next Presidental candidate he will most likely join me and vote for a Republican. He says he and the rest are not ready for a black President and added or a woman. I agreed of course.
Only IF you are a republican. The COGIC are having their convention in Memphis, I'm surprised JUNIOR isn't there tonight as well.
And this is from the party of inclusion and tolerance. What hypocrites they are!
Heck his ad people and him are stupid they think that mayors can give themselves pay raises. Yet it is JUNIOR who has given himself 10 pay raises in the past ten years.
"And this is from the party of inclusion and tolerance. What hypocrites they are!"
His main interest is unions and stock market so right now he has a conflict brewing. He thinks he is educated but don't have a clue.
It's only a no no when Reps do it. Dims are not subject to Constitutional restraints.
I'd think Obama found God in the same public relations brainstorming meeting that fabricated his firsthand understanding of Black American struggles.
