Is Obama Disappointed by the Christian Response in Charleston?
pjmedia.com ^ | David Forsmark

Barack Obama seems awfully disappointed by how Christians in Charleston have used the Charleston atrocity to glorify God from the pulpit of Emanuel AME Church instead of looking to his Bully Pulpit.

I would wager that he said more favorable things about the Brown and Martin families than those courageous relatives of the Charleston 9. And he expressed far more understanding about the reactions in Baltimore and Ferguson. Barack Obama never called rioting an “unimaginable” response to a justified police shooting; but that was his reaction to a call for Christian forgiveness.

In fact, the president got so pathetically desperate for attention this weekend that while people in Charleston were praising Jesus, he went on Marc Maron’s cult podcast and dropped an N-bomb.

There, THAT ought to get everybody’s attention!

However, it really didn’t. Even the president doing a professorial version of Snoop Dogg became a side issue, as the only speech that riveted the nation this week, about how we all ought to act as children of God, came from Rev. Norvell Goff of Emanuel AME Church.

Felicia Sanders words of forgiveness and her explaining the plan of Salvation to Dylan is remarkable and so powerful. It goes against Sharptons hatred of God’s creation

I’ll bet that’s what happened. The church got a call “Would’nt you enjoy a surprise visit by your President?
Oh, and it looks like you may not have to file taxes on those Bake Sales done on City Property or purchase more Health Insurance for your church employees after all, but we won’t know for sure until after your President’s surprise Charleston visit. Interested?”

You know that is an important point....

we’ve had various thugs killed over the few years and we seen have massive riots

We have 9 innocent Christians killed I haven’t seen one act of rioting.

seem the rioters and non rioters tell you more about who the people killed were than anything else

and people need to remember that when they try and paint broad generalities about any given person of any given race....

because it also.tell you the lie in Roofs own sick thinking

The political implications of the Charleston response are, in my opinion, absolutely enormous.

President Obama has spent the better part of his two terms trying to foment racial strife between his supposed black constituency and white Americans. He’s done this by calling out the police every time a white (or at least half-white) police officer is involved in the shooting of an unarmed black person. This is patently clear to anyone with an open mind on the matter.

Also clear is the fact that the police are now becoming unwilling to continue to put their lives and careers at risk to the extent they have always done, knowing that the highest law enforcement officials in the country will view any adverse event they’re involved in with suspicion, and prejudice.

The result: Innocent black families in our cities are increasingly at risk. More important, they know it because they’re living it. Furthermore, most now realize why they’re at increased risk. Hint: It’s not because all the police officers that have been protecting them and their neighborhoods for years have suddenly become racist bastards.

This is why Charleston is enormously important politically. The sustained effort to stay on message by forgiving the shooter despite the undoubted efforts of the likes of Sharpton and, yes, President Obama, to shift the message to how to stop white racists bearing guns is clear proof that the black community has made up its collective mind and is now rejecting our President’s efforts to divide white from black and police from the communities they serve.

The GOP candidate who realizes what is happening and who speaks to the black community with the intent of addressing their real concern today, rather than the fake racism President Obama holds forth, will make very serious inroads into the black vote. Essentially, Charleston is a message to all politicians to get real about the harm the President’s attitude and actions have done, and are doing, to their communities.

They are respectfully, but very clearly, revolting against his leadership as it pertains to their lives. This could be well mean that black Americans have learned from President Obama that voting in lockstep for a black Democrat, and possibly for any Democrat, is a voting strategy that needs to be reassessed.

Very true.

And muslims HATE all civilizing Jewish laws. Jewish laws brought civilization to the western world. Muslims hate that.

The foundational principle that the last will be first, and the first will be last, in the True Kingdom of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords just cannot be processed by this psychotic narcissist.

You should write up a thread for this response as a vanity so that all can read it. Put in the right keywords so the politicians read it. You are spot on. The south is Christian, the north is becoming Muslim. Will that be our next civil war?

How about the response of the victims in Boston? “Kill Him”, not “Forgive Him”.

which is why he covered himself with that goofy display of phoney Christian sing song.

I'd like to call attention to the verrrrrrrrry long pause before he broke out in song.

What remained of his conscience was seared to the core during that looooooong lull in his delivery.

Very well said. May God bring us all together as we face this cynical, destructive program.

Do you think that has anything to do with our war with Islam?
