Can some LDS members please explain the apparent acceptance and forbearance of the LDS leadership toward Obama? Please don’t get me wrong I a very much admire the LDS tenants of self-sufficiency and public service, and I have myself a copy of the book of Mormon from which I have read and found many things I agree with, but it seems to me Obama stand for everything that LDS and any God fearing person should be against and yet the LDS (admitedly a number of other Christian Organizations and Churchs as well) seem not only to not oppose him, but at times even embrace him.

Mormons are the most Republican religious group in the United States, per most surveys.

Mormon leader to present Obama with family history

and baptismal certificates.

Traced back to Idi Amin.

I’m ROFLing just at the title of the thread.

I thought Mormonism had it’s roots in the Americas.

Speaking as an outsider with many Mormon friends, this is a courtesy extended to all of our nations presidents and nothing more.

The database which the church maintains is fascinating, to say the least, but only as accurate as the records which support it.

It would be interesting to know how many slave traders are in his African background.

Some of ObaMao's roots can be found on-line at http://www.wargs.com and, interestingly enough, I share the same common ancestor which he shares with Dick Cheney.

You mean this isn’t from The Onion?!? I’m sure 0bama will bury the results like everything else in this catagory!

[Lurking in Kansas]

Well... this should be interesting... he has about a dozen half-brothers & sisters...

and how can the LDS trace Kenyan birth records? I really doubt they have much record keeping over there....

[EggsAckley]

Oh, to be a fly on the wall at that meeting.........

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I don’t think any meeting about Obama’s genealogy could be “quick”.

“And President Obama will ALSO show his family roots by...explaining he was born In Kenya”

[Jeff Head]

Obama was elected President. He stands for almost everything the church is against and has taken very vocal positions on being against. But he is still President and the LDS believe in honoring and giving respect to those offices.

Do not mistake that for acceptance of Obama's agenda, or his positions. Members of the Church and the beliefs of the Church stand at abject odds to Obama's positons and the Church is not afraid to take that stand.

Those states where Mormon membership is in the majority (Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, etc.) are among the most red states in the country.

Besides, if ever made public, I am almost sure that these geneological records would show that Obama's ancestors enslaved and sold Jesse Jackson's ancestors.

I think you’re missing the point. The meeting is not an endorsement. Family history is what the Mormons do, they are the best at it in the world. It should be interesting to see what they found re Barry Soetoro’s genealogy.

[Cold Heart]

See post about Rush now questioning 0’s eligibility to be president.

[afraidfortherepublic]

I do not know how this so-called “genealogy” of the President can be accurate because nobody has seen his official birth certificate.

My cousin (the family genealogist) is a Mormon and I have copies of Mormon issued work-sheets to record births, deaths, marraiges, etc. All of them have spaces for the actual records, or record numbers. It is allowable to enter the phrase “by mouth” while you are researching meaning that the information came by word of mouth, but none of it counts unless there is an actual record, or notation in a published book.

Until Obama supplies his actual birth certificate, it is all Phffft! Better that he should suply his DNA for comparisons to those many half siblings, since there is a major question about that.

[MozarkDawg]

A relative of my father’s mother told him she found our family is related to 0bama through his mother ... if this chart don’t indicate the same, it’s a fraud!! ;)

[machogirl]

Think that they might have a long form BC in there somewhere?

[BlueNgold]

I suspect the call came in from Harry Reid...

[The Great RJ]

Kind of hard to do a genealogy without knowing where Obama was born.
