... 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.

Thanks for the full video. I wish they would have played all of it on tv. When I saw it on Fox they only showed the part about Hillary, not the reparations part.
For others, here is the transcript from Michelle Malkin’s site:
Pastor Otis Moss: He needs no introduction. He’s a friend of Trinity, he’s a brother beloved. He’s a preacher par excellence. He’s a prophetic, powerful pulpiteer. He is our friend. He is our brother. He is none other than Father Michael Pfleger. (Crowd on its feet, standing ovation, loud applause). We welcome him once again…
…Pfleger: [Unintelligible] to address the one who says, “Well, don’t hold me responsible (gesticulating) for what my ancestors did. But you have enjoyed the benefits of what your ancestors did and unless you are ready to give up the benefits (voice rising), throw away your 401 fund, throw away your trust fund, throw away all the money you put into the company you WALKED INTO BECAUSE YO’ DADDY AND YO’ GRANDDADDY AND YO’ GREATGRANDDADDY–(screaming at the top of his lungs)–UNLESS YOU’RE WILLING TO GIVE UP THE BENEFITS, THEN YOU MUST BE REPSONSIBLE FOR WHAT WAS DONE IN YOUR GENERATION ‘CUZ YOU ARE THE BENEFICIARY OF THIS INSURANCE POLICY! (Wild gestures, wild applause).
…We must be honest enough to expose white entitlement and supremacy wherever it raises its head.
I said before I don’t want this to be politica because, you know, I’m very unpolitical (mocking tone, huge laughter).
…When Hillary was crying (gesturing tears, uproarious laughter from audience)–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’ (laughter, hoots). ‘I’m Bill’s wife. I’m WHITE. And this is mine. And I jus’ gotta get up. And step into the plate. And then out of nowhere came, ‘Hey, I’m Barack Obama.’ And she said: ‘Oh, damn!’ WHERE DID YOU COME FROM!?!?! (Crowd going nuts, Pfleger screaming). I’M WHITE! I’M ENTITLED! THERE’S A BLACK MAN STEALING MY SHOW. (SOBS!) SHE WASN’T THE ONLY ONE CRYING! THERE WAS A WHOLE LOTTA WHITE PEOPLE CRYING!
I’m sorry. I don’t wanna get you in any mo’ trouble. The livestreaming just went out again…
the horror of Communism has never left me.....
Nor me - and mine was simply a private study over since I was 10 years old of the insane evil that is communism....
Yet where are the movies that tell us about communism’s disasters, destruction, death by the multiplied millions, gulags, Cultural Revolution, insanities, privileges by those in “the party” while the masses suffer ....
Where are the “speakers” who are paid the big bucks to go the college campuses to detail these horrors for today’s generation who, thanks to Ronald Reagan - Margaret Thatcher - and to star wars - do not have any idea of the HORRORS THAT AWAIT THIS COUNTRY Should either Hitlery or Obamanutjob take power!
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
These ‘snuff’ remarks really need to be broadcast out there, to show democrats what kind of nut their candidate associates with.
New Age “Messiah” - Obama sees himself.....
But Hillary the Beast is NOT PLEASED that Satan is showing himself so soon....
Last year, Father Flakey harangued an anti-gun mob outside of a Chicago-area gun shop that Anti-gun tyrant Mayor Daley has been trying to shut down via intimidation and fear.
Amongst other hysterical rhetorical outbursts, Flakey said that the law abiding gun shop owner should be dragged like a rat from his shop and “snuffed” along with any Illinois legislators who would not vote for the anti-gun legislation. If someone can give me a good free site for audio uploads, I will post the audio clip for you to hear.
This fool may be a clown, but he is also a demagogue and potentially too dangerous to be undisciplined by the Archdiocese.
I had intentions of not voting for McCain, and choosing a worthy 3rd party candidate, like Alan Keyes, or even just writing in a candidate. However, seeing this latest idiot in Obama’s church carrying on just motivates me to vote for McCain after all. The third party lesson of 1992 remains in my memory.
>>”But he does find time to pray.
“It’s not formal, me getting on my knees,” he says. “I think I have an ongoing conversation with God.... I’m constantly asking myself questions about what I’m doing, why I am doing it. “<<
>>”...conversation with God.... I’m constantly asking myself...”<<
This says it all. Obama’s “God” is... HIMSELF.

THAT’s where I remember this guy from! Thanks for remembering and sharing that...
Obama is so freaking lost in that dark black racist jungle of hate — it will take more than a “moral compass” for him to find his way out.
Gee, I wonder who's speeches he lifted those lines from.
Barry has some very interesting friends.
