Obama is foremost a politician and is going to say what it takes to get where he wants to be. (Most politicians do that)
I'm posting this article on anything pertaining to Obama. Excellent points by a black minister.

Faith, Race and Politics
By Harry R. Jackson, Jr.
Monday, March 24, 2008

Obama missed a huge opportunity to reach out and connect with the broader evangelical, faith community. Many non-black, Bible believing Christians have questioned the orthodoxy of the Senator’s faith. Evangelicals are troubled by the senator’s position on abortion and traditional marriage.

Though brilliant on the surface, last week’s speech wrongly characterized the problem with his minister’s preaching as solely a problem of race. In my view this controversy is more a matter of personal honesty and faith. I agree with Ken Blackwell’s critique of liberation theology. He wrote the following statement last Tuesday, “Liberation Theology... is a belief system about political agendas, socialistic economic policy, and redistribution of wealth.”

The fact is that neither the Senator nor his pastor is qualified to solve this race question in our nation. At the risk of sounding impractical, let me remind everyone that racism is a spiritual problem. It is a matter of the heart, first of all. And because it is truly a spiritual problem, it will require the involvement of a unified, emotionally focused church to lead us toward racial reconciliation.

The time is right to heal America! I’m ready. What about you?

She won't watch CNN.

She has two reasons:

1. Because Bill Hemmer (cute kid from Cincinnati) is on Fox now instead of CNN.

2. CNN is too liberal (just part of the Hollywood/network/entertainment crowd).

Neither will she watch Katie Couric or Oprah because of their left wing, new age, anti-Christ attitudes.

i Love Bill too!!!

Re: FOX Does NOT Lie About Obama's Pastor!

You know I am praying Obama wins.

I am glad he has run because Wright and he has brought some major issues to the forefront.

Whether Fox is lying or not is irrelevant. What is is that America again is having to deal with the racism.

Thanks Obama and JW!!!!!

If Obama turns out to be a great president, it won't be because he is black, brown, red, yellow, or any other color. It will be because he makes good decisions and listens to good advisors.

As far as race, I wish it would be illegal to have any race-related organizations. Most of these organizations are race baiters anyways!
