But somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and started being used to drive us apart. It got hijacked. Part of it's because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, who've been all too eager to exploit what divides us. At every opportunity, they've told evangelical Christians that Democrats disrespect their values and dislike their Church...

If my pastor said these things I’d only have to hear them once, ‘cause my butt’s out the door and it’s not coming back. So, Hussein, why not you too????

Rev. Wright preached the gospel of Jesus Mom was pretty insistent on us going to Bible school and then Church on Sunday morning (like if we could breath, we went) I musta missed the bible story about G-d damn America.

Not credible. This preacher has been an "activist" in this way for many years. His CHRISTMAS SERMON was hate filled for Heaven's sake.

Sorry Hussein, I do not believe you. Your own actions (not saluting the flag, not wearing the flag on your lapel), your wife's statements and activities, all of these things begin to add up now.

You are backing away now because it is politically expediant, but by your own measure, your judgement now is in abject and total question. You are not qualified or judgementaly capable or qoualified of leading this nation.

You knew this man...you identified with him...and now that chicken has come home to roost.

If he finds those statements so divisive, why was he in that church for twenty years?

If he preached the gospel of Jesus, how did Obama miss the lessons on not killing innocent babies?

Contrast this apostate church with the great Moody Church. Hussein joined it so he could fake being a Christian without much work so he could chase a political career. It is okay to be a liar according to the Koran POS.

These are from his book.
Doesn’t look like he likes to say anything about his white side.
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school”
“I studied the Koran..”
From ‘Audacity of Hope: “Lolo (Obama’s step father) followed a brand of Islam ....”I looked to Lolo for guidance”.
From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
From The Audacity Of Hope, “We are no longer just a Christian nation,” “We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”
From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”.
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure..... the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.”
From ‘Dreams of My Father’,
“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites”
From Dreams Of My Father, “never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself..”.
From Dreams Of My Father:
“That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, blaming “white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”

” I believe that Americans will judge me not on the basis of what someone else said, but on the basis of who I am and what I believe in; on my values, judgment and experience to be President of the United States.”

One problem Obama: The American people don’t know who you are! What are your values? No one knows! Your association with Wright says you have REALLY BAD judgment, and you have no experience.

So with all of that in mind, we’re all back at square one: you and Wright need to go back to Chicago and do community work. The American people will make sure that happens.

LOL. Oh, enjoy this, folks. It's just beginning. He will soon have to dump this bozo from his "advisory" committee. For once, I don't think a little backpedaling is going to satisfy even the drive-bys. They are getting scooped by ABC, then FOX, then will come the others.

Popcorn, anyone?

He also donated over $20k a year to the man.

Furthermore, the whole premise of the church is racist. See its website.

This could work. It will certainly satisfy most leftists.

Absolutely right. Mr. Obama, I know ministers of the Gospel of Jesus, and Mr. Obama, he’s no minister of the Gospel of Jesus.

Of course this is a load or rubbish, but it will effectively satisfy many people’s concerns about this issue.
