DES MOINES, Iowa - Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered a campaign sermon Sunday, but didn't stick around to hear the pastor do his preaching.
"We're still at church. We're still going to worship no matter what," the Rev. Lee Maxey said as the Democratic presidential candidate, her daughter, Chelsea, and their entourage left Corinthian Baptist Church, the media pack close behind.
Clinton stayed for about 20 minutes and, when she spoke, noted her support for children's rights.
The New York senator also highlighted a chapter in her book, "It Takes a Village," that talks about every child needing a champion. She said most children have someone in that role and she'd like to fulfill it for the whole country.
"I think the American people need a president who is their champion. And I've been running to be that champion — to get up every single day and do all that I can to make sure I provide the tools that every single American is entitled to receive and make the most out of their own lives," Clinton said.
And with that, she hurried out.
The Rev. James Green took a poke at the just-departed Clinton as he began his sermon.
"When I first got here I was a little overwhelmed. All the dignitaries came in," he said. "I thought they were going to stay for service, but they're still campaigning."
Earlier this year, Democratic candidate Barack Obama also joined the mostly black congregation.
He, too, left early.
Now I get why she was wearing the Royal Collar. She was trying to contrast herself with Barack Obama’s earlier appearance before the same congregation. She was trying to accentuate how she is so much more sophisticated and powerful than the common boy, Obama.
She reminds me of Cruella Deville with her haughty ways.
OH!! I didn’t know it was a Black Baptist Church!! That explains it!
The collar hides her turkey neck.
Scary.
Half of everything she wears is either a Mao Suit or some stylized version of one.
We should all pray that Hillary wins the general. Hillary is the only candidate whose personal affairs have been investigated by taxpayer funded GJ’s to the tune of umpteen million dollars, and still remains unindicted. The unfounded rumors of Hillary’s crimes are politically inspired by R politicos who have much to hide themselves.
Does Satan fear the Lord?
Isn't she covering her chest tattoos? I wonder what they are?
She knew A bolt from the sky would soon ensue.
“Does this mean that Hillary claims she is more famous than Jesus???”
I don’t know, but if Jesus had been at the church, he would have thrown Hillary out!
She better.
I hope she's IN the general. Winning? She doesn't have a prayer.
