Obama then sat down and wrote (thus showing premeditation and malice aforethought) "A Politics of Conscience," which contained extensive campaign-related content in contravention of the rules to which he had agreed. He then delivered this campaign speech and got the United Church of Christ into trouble with the IRS.
Obama's conduct can therefore be compared not merely to someone who calls a talk show, but who appears on it as an invited speaker, and who indicates his understanding of FCC regulsations that prohibit on-the-air profanity. Once the microphone is in his hand, though, he launches into a tirade that includes many of the prohibited words, thus getting the radio station into trouble. The key concept is a deliberate and willful betrayal of another person's or organization's trust, thus demonstrating a total lack of fitness to be trusted with the most important office in the world.
Oh please... What at all did the UCC do to prevent Obama from using the occasion to campaign?
>> the UCC did everything possible to prevent the Obama campaign from misusing its resources for electioneering. It would therefore be hardly fair to hold the United Church of Christ accountable for Barack Obama’s decision to break his word to his own church by giving a speech that described what he will do if he is elected President, as shown by the transcript of “A Politics of Conscience”... <<
>>... The United Church of Christ obviously felt that similar conduct from a United States Senator would be so inconcievable that there were no provisions for cutting Obama’s microphone, and the UCC was wrong. <<
Inconceivable that a shiftless politician running for president would talk politics? I do not think that word means what the IRS seems to think that word means.
