Guess he thinks having gay flings and smoking crack are OK though.

Well, perhaps soon Rev. Caldwell will be hearing all about Obama’s character and he just might change his mind!

Judging from recent history, Pres. Bush won’t throw this dork off the bus. Instead, he’ll invite him to the Rose Garden to receive a Presidential Medal of Honor.[/s]

Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell thinks that murdering live black babies is just fine.

Yeah the Anti Christ will be a smooth talker. I don't believe Obama is the Antichrist, but a type like he will be...but this move by many in the Evangelical movement ought to be a wake up call. I don't know what to make of it...just Obama’s support of full term abortions should cause one to not support him on religious grounds. I guess the Bush derangement syndrome is far more advanced than I thought.

Buffalo chips? Ha!

The guy clearly wants to support Obama because he's black (partly, anyhow).

What does he think about Obama’s abortion ideas? I'm sure he thinks it's no big deal.

Who are the real racists, here?

Who cares. Obama is not going to win anything from informed Christians. He is part of the far left that wants to destroy all religious organizations. All mass organization is threatening to socialist totalitarianism.

I wonder if Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell has any questions about BO’s stance with abortion on demand!

If I were the Bush family, I'd be looking for a new pastor. What a betrayal by a man the President considers a close friend.

It is painfully obvious that this pastor is only interested in what's on the outside of the candidate rather than what's on the inside. Just MHO.

Could he be voting on race? Naahh - Obama supporters wouldn’t dare vote on race.

Guess Partial Birth Abortion parties don’t bother this pastor.

Or he'll create a Department of Religion, and appoint this guy as presiding priest of religious affairs.

Windsom Village United Methodist Church. After Elian, Bill ,Hill, and now this clown, I have had enough of the Methodist Church to last a lifetime and that's about how long I "previously" was a Methodist.

While I will fight to keep the Republican Party Conservative I think the Methodist Church has sold out to the left. They can have it.

Claiming that African-Americans aren’t focussed on Obama’s racial identity is like saying that men aren’t focussed on Pamela Anderson’s breasts. In other words, not only are they focussed on it — it’s the ONLY thing they see.

He's obviously a one-way mo-fo.

Just like compromising with liberal demonRATS means, "Do EVERYTHING for me, and I'll STILL SH*T ON YOU".

Whitey is racist since only 40% support Obama, while 99% of blacks who support Obama are not racist, since they are favoring the anointed messiah.

He's a United Methodist. They're cool with killing kids.
