The media loves a good story especially if it infuriates or incites. You will rarely ever see level headed, balanced pastors get the national spotlight. Everytime I see one related to a story, I always know that that will be the last time I see him.

Whenever the Rutgers girls basketball team deal was a topic, I saw an interview with the coach's pastor. He was very balanced and I knew that that was his kiss of death.

Although last week’s historic election of Barack Obama as the United States’ next president obviously shattered racial barriers, many Christian leaders say it also highlighted a still-prevalent racial divide among churches and believers. Associated Press exit polls showed that 74 percent of white evangelical Christians voted for Republican candidate John McCain, while 94 percent of African-American believers voted for Obama. Yet according to many leaders, the underlying differences—and problems—emerged long before a single vote was cast.

“I think in the eagerness to protect the right to life issues, there were some things said … that were not always fair and that were insensitive that need to be rethought,” said T.D. Jakes, founding pastor of The Potter’s House in Dallas. “I would love to see black and white Christians find common ground, and a deeper understanding of each other’s needs.”
Hang around a while,When there becomes more blacks everyone in office will be black.94 % of blacks didn't vote for the best one,they voted for their race.
