Obama Asks African-American Churches for Help With Health Law ByLouise Radnofsky
When President Barack Obama met with African-American religious leaders at the White House Monday in advance of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, he had a request: He asked for their help in the final push to implement the federal health care law.
The president hosted representatives of major African-American denominations in the Roosevelt Room, where they discussed “how civil rights and equality are closely tied to voting rights and closing the gap on education, unemployment, and access to health care,” White House said in a written statement.
The president asked the leaders for their support this fall in signing up uninsured members of their congregations for health coverage, saying that around 7 million African Americans lack insurance.
“The president noted that his administration is continuing to fight to ensure that the right to vote is protected, and he also discussed the upcoming start of open enrollment in the health insurance marketplace, and that the difficult but critical work of enrolling millions of Americans in health exchanges around the country continues,” the readout of the meeting said.
“The faith leaders told the president about their plans to work with their congregations and partners to inform people about the marketplace. The president thanked the leaders for their prayers, and said that he looks forward to continuing to work with them. The president and the faith leaders concluded their meeting with a prayer.”

You dumb cracka..Dat be onlys fo WHITE churches.
That ended when the stupid bastids started praying to him.
note:..not a peep from the media?
For crying out loud, he asked Hollywood, Sports Figure, now Churches. The only ones left are the Drug Cartel Obama is arming in Mexico - you know to reach the Hispanics. =)
Nice thing about being a dictator is you don’t have to worry about that separation thingy.
In 1945, Pastor Richard Wurmbrand of Romania was summoned to a Congress of Cults where the leaders of the various churches were expected to swear allegiance to the new communist government. Most of the 4000 “religious leaders” swore allegiance and declared that communism was the same as Christianity.
Wurmbrand went up to the microphone (the Congress was being broadcast to the nation) and declared that his only duty was to glorify God and Christ alone!
This is how a Christian leader responds to the government that wants to subvert people’s faith for the good of the regime. These black religious leaders are just black leaders.
Praying is part of Obamacares cost cutting
This because they want to say that opposing 0bamacare, even if you are a CEO who drops insurance due to high cost, is due only to hatred of 0bama, which will mean racism.
Okay, the precedent has been set. When I ‘m president (HA!), I’m going to ask WHITE CHURCHES ONLY to come in and help me with various things. Blacks can go pound sand. That message shouldn’t be a problem for anyone since Barry did it, right?
Think they spent much time talking about the ‘Affordable care act’ and abortion, homosexuals and illegals?
Prolly not. The black churches don’t really care about those sins anymore than does the Catholic church.
All hypocrites who say one thing and do another.
Why does he need help? I thought obamacare was supposed to be full of skittles and unicorn glitter. Supposed to increase coverage, increase quality, reduce costs, reduce the deficit, stop globull warming, save the whales, and get Oprah back on her diet. Why does it need a sales job?
The "trifecta" that I think Obama is trying to avoid would be that more Americans would lack health insurance after Obamacare is fully implemented than before he signed the ACA.
I have a better idea. Go to the black churches and ask them to preach the gospel to their congregations, and for everyone to reach out to the black neighbourhoods with the gosepl and with sound teaching.
Teach the young men to respect their women. Teach the women to NOT engage in premarital sex. Teach all of them to follow the teachings of the Scriptures. They will then be happy and productive and prosper. They will no longer live with huge chips on their shoulders - there will be no need for it.
The exploitation of the black communities by the black “leader” is sinful. It would be wonderful if blacks would open their collective eyes.
How many white Church’s has he met with.
I thought black-Americans already had a waiver?
Black Americans.......POTUS Obama has set you back 50-100 years!!! You are worse off under Obama then you ever were!!! Your flim/flam shyster, Obama, has taken you and your future to the cleaners. How about...for once, you start thinking for yourselves and your own best interests, your and your children’s future. You have none with Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, the NAACP, CBC, etc. as your chosen leaders!!! Wise up and live free with opportunites at your doorstep!!! Start by defunding Obamacare...which will hurt you even more!!!
Sign & Endorse the Lee/Cruz defund Obamacare petition, right now...TODAY!!

If he has to ask these people for help pushing this pile of crap, Obamacare is in much more trouble than the Democrat controlled media is letting on.
