ZOTcraft in the Troll House
Townhall.com ^ | August 15, 2009 | Kristen Atkinson

The Obama White House is abuzz with talk of witchcraft by first grandmother, 72-year-old Marian Robinson, who lives in the White House residence. A close friend of Michelle Obama says the president is furious at his mother-in-law after learning that she was practicing Santeria, an African spirit cult, in the White House.

"The president is quite upset about this on two different levels. First, he is a committed Christian, no matter what his critics say about Reverend Wright. He is adamant that Sasha and Malia be raised with Christian influences. He does not want them to be involved with African voodoo. And secondly, he is worried about the political fallout if his enemies get wind of this. Rev. Wright was bad enough, but this would be political suicide," a close friend of Michelle’s confided.

Religion took center stage during the campaign last year when videos showed the Rev. Jeremiah Wright shouting "God damn America." Obama was forced to distance himself from the since-retired pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where he worshiped for 20 years. Many people were shocked by the videos and questioned Obama’s fitness to be president. Since taking office, Obama has avoided worshiping in public and now prefers the chapel at the presidential retreat at Camp David.

This is how it happened. Marian Robinson became increasingly frustrated as her husband, Fraser Robinson, was hobbled by multiple sclerosis in the late 1980s. The family pastor prayed with her and counseled her, but "she turned to Santeria in a desperate hope," Michelle’s friend said. "Michelle put her foot down when she heard that her mother took her dad to ceremonies where they did spells and trances, and sacrificed animals, chickens and goats I think. But Marian was desperate and kept going anyway, even when her husband was to sick to go with her. I don’t think the president knew anything about this earlier because it was before they met. Michelle and Craig (her brother) wanted to close the book on this and never talked about it again after their father died in 1991."

The first grandma appears to be worried about her health now, even though doctors pronounce her in good shape. "Marian invited an old friend from Chicago to visit her at the White House, and she performed a Santeria ceremony in the residence. When Michelle saw this woman, a voodoo priestess she recognized her from when her father was sick, she had a fit. When she told the president about it, he blew up and said, ‘No voodoo in the White House. Absolutely. I don’t care what you call it.’ As far as I know, it only happened once," the friend said.

The president was "totally in favor" when his mother-in-law moved into the White House as a live-in babysitter for 11-year-old Malia and 8-year-old Sasha. Obama reportedly told Michelle that her mother will have to go back to Chicago if she does not "stop this witchcraft mumbo-jumbo immediately" and ordered the Secret Service to not allow Marian’s friend to return to the White House.

This is sooo starting to smell like the Carter Administration.

Brother Billy getting drunk and weeing in parking lots.

Momma Carter always chiming in on issues.

Amy being geeky.

Like a trip down memory lane.

Santeria is out.

They prefer the more traditional occult approach:



The color and pattern say it all.

"The president is quite upset about this on two different levels. First, he is a committed Christian, no matter what his critics say about Reverend Wright.

Obama's church of twenty years teaches, as a core belief, that God prefers black people over whites. To call that "Christianity" is an insult to both the religion and to the English language.

HE IS A MUSLIM. THE EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING. Go to ‘The Obama File’ http://www.theobamafile.com/
Read the sections, ‘Religion’ and ‘Islam’.

________________________________

To all:

Attention FRiends:
‘The Obama File’ is back!
It is back and archieved here:
http://www.theobamafile.com/
‘The Obama File’ is a treasure trove of Obama history. Every thing you’d want to know about the usuper
from his African ancestry to the present is here for us internet warriors to use for reference.

Even ‘Latest News’ is back up- so apparently Beckwith intends to keep adding to the file. GREAT NEWS!!

FRiends, we have used ‘The Obama File’ and neglected its author, Beckwith.
He is a 70 year old retired gentleman who is living on Social Security. He put up a PayPal which collected under $250.00 in the over 2 1/2 years that he struggled to maintain it. This is disgraceful.
Let’s show our appreciation for this great American patriot by sending a generous donation to his PayPal!

As long as they include Santeria in the 0bama healthcare reform bill, I have no problem with it.
