Obama: I Have A Deep Faith (Obama Says That Fr. Pfleger Is A Moral Compass For Him
Chicago Sun Times ^ | 4/5/2004 | Cathleen Falsani

... Obama says he reads the Bible, though not as regularly as he'd like, now that he's on the campaign trail. But he does find time to pray.

"The biggest challenge, I think, is always maintaining your moral compass."

Friends and advisors, such as the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina Catholic Church in the Auburn-Gresham community on the South Side, who has known Obama for the better part of 20 years, help him keep that compass, he says.

Father Pfleger:

"When Hillary was crying, and people said that was put on, I really don't believe it was put on. I really believe that she just always thought, 'This is mine. I'm Bill's wife. I'm white, and this is mine. I just gotta get up and step into the plate.'

Then out of nowhere, 'I'm Barack Obama!'

'Ah damn! Where did you come from? I'm white! I'm entitled! There's a black man stealing my show!'

She wasn't the only one crying, there was a whole lot of white people crying!"

Not all who are Catholic are orthodox, and, ultimately, being Orthodox is what it's all about.

[to self:] And they wonder why there is a Purgatory...

Rev. Wright II! These idiot supporters of Obama need to realize there is more at stake than their narcissistic need
to run their mouths. I doubt if they do!

Obama says he reads the Bible,

Guess he skips over the part, "thou shall not kill."

And I really doubt he is praying for the unborn he has enabled to be murdered with his stand on unborn baby killing um I mean choice, er, reproductive rights.

I consider the guy a p.o.s. hypocrite.

Faher Pfleger is a hard-left radical who has run afoul of the Archdiocese on numerous occassions, and even the Vatican. He is known around the Chicago area as Father Flakey.

Another pastor Obama has known for 20 years but has no clue about what they say.

Obama is a liar.

Funny how, in a time when God is supposedly dead, in a land that can't stand to have it's children recite a prayer or even mention "God" in school; in a land where the Ten Commandments are an offense but pornography is "free expression,"...

...those who would want us to believe in them try very hard to make us think they believe in God.

What do their strategists know about us that nobody's admitting?

These days, he says, he attends the 11 a.m. Sunday service at Trinity in the Brainerd neighborhood every week — or at least as many weeks as he is able. His pastor, Wright, has become a close confidant.

Every week and never heard crazy uncle jeremiah spewing ‘haye whitey’ from the pulpit?

The Obama-personna is heretofore immune to facts and the conclusions of common sense.

Obie forgets he chanted every Sunday “Right on Brother!”
Obie has a very convenient memory and Soul, if any.
