Despite Campaign Claim, Obama Told Paper He Attended Trinity Church 'Every Week'

(CNSNews.com) – President-elect Barack Obama said in 2004 – while he was a state legislator running for a U.S. Senate seat – that he attended services at Trinity United Church of Christ every week.

This is in contrast to what Obama, as a presidential candidate, said this year after controversial anti-American remarks by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright surfaced. Obama then told news outlets that he did not attend the church frequently and was not aware of Wright’s comments.

The comments from Obama about his church attendance appeared in the transcript of an interview posted Tuesday on the religious news Web site Beliefnet.com. The interview was conducted on March 27, 2004 by Chicago Sun-Times religion writer Cathleen Falsani for a story on Obama’s faith, but the interview was not released in its entirety until now.

There are MANY ‘campaign claims’ he has made.....and says another. Naturally....the ‘another’ has been pulled from Zero’s website. Thank goodness for screen shots and video/audeo.

Obama has said so many conflicting things that you can believe anything you want about him.

I will be anxiously awaiting the picture of the asp saying ‘you knew what I was when you elected me’. Simply a matter of time.

He is a lying ass individual. People will figure out this sooner or later. Bad times are a coming.

The “few” honest black Christians better stand up now. We need your honest support now. I know it is difficult standing in your communities when everyone assumes that the Messiah is speaking, but NOW is your time. Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Saviour or do you believe that Barack the “possible Muslim” is really the saviour?

How did America sink so LOW? I was not a Slave owner nor was my family. I REFUSE to be indicted for RACISM that I did not pursue nor benefit from. Young Black folks need to wake up and understand that America is far better than any African country they could have grown up in. If they want to go back, then GO BACK.

My poor white working class family does not owe you a DAMN thing. OK?? Do you understand? I am f-—ing tired of being made to feel that I have done something wrong by working, going to college and paying my own f-—ing way. Go F-— yourself. I am not paying for your lazy ass.

The one thing that I “got a kick out of” about his attendance at the hallowed alter of the dear Rev....was O’Reilly. During the GREAT interview (sarcasm) O’Reilly asked him if he attended often and Obama replied that he only went once or twice a month. Later O’Reilly made the statement that he had interviewed Obama and found him to be truthful and sincere. I almost had to be rushed to the hospital from choking on my coffee.
