A 1300-member coalition of African-American pastors are calling on blacks to boycott President Obama and sign a petition demanding the administration withdraw support for gay marriage, the Washington Examiner reported Friday.
“The black church has always been the conscience of America, and today we are calling on black pastors and black Christians to withhold support from President Obama until he corrects course,” Rev. William Owens, president of the Memphis-based coalition, said on Friday.
The Coalition of African-American Pastors had requested a meeting last month with the administration to discuss the issue, but says it was snubbed by Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder.
“By embracing gay marriage, President Obama is leading the country down an immoral path,” Owens added. “Some things are bigger than the next election."

Moral absolutes ping.
THOSE BLACK PASTORS ARE RACIS... oh wait...
Obama is shame and a disgrace, likewise Governor Romney!
Do these pastors know that Martin Luther King Jr. was a theological liberal who rejected all the orthodox chrstian dogmas and drew his "theology" from German liberal Protestants? When are they going to say something about that???
Good luck.
He’s the “Fairy” Prince!!!
His support will drop from 96 to 95. Yawn.

“By embracing gay marriage, President Obama is leading the country down an immoral path,”
Did someone not get as much Obama money as they were promised?
That’s the only way supporters of his O’liness turn on him.
So the same pastors who managed to keep their collective mouths shut over massive deficit spending, baseball card kill lists, socialised healthcare, “goddamn america” spiritual leaders, economic collapse, race pimps and abortion mandates are suddenly up in arms over fag marriage?
I wish I could believe this.
Better late than never I suppose.
Those “pastors” have a reputation for being easily bought. If you were a “leader” in the black community, perhaps just perhaps, you would protest the liberals locating so many abortion clinics within your community and preventing school voucher programs. Three generations of lousy schools made possible by collusion with the teachers union and Democrat politicians. Not a peep from the “pastors”
This is prolly nowhere close to most black clergy. If these fellows had their way, family integrity in black America would be far better than it is.
Next week Hillary, Valerie Jarrett, and Wide Load will be in those Church’s telling those colored folks to vote for Obama.

There is a critical shortage of such MEN in ‘the black community’ else black people would not be so easily herded by the lying democrat masters of dependency. The man in the video sounds a lot like my neighbor down the street, except my neighbor doesn’t smoke, for health reasons and because he doesn’t want his children growing up thinking smoking is cool. But that the nature of a Dad.
