Obama’s Christian Journey

Seems like Obama is trying to cover every single base there is to cover from every single side.
Im wondering what some of the left wingers who voted for him are going to think. The religous aspect is going to really have the left wingers worried.

Off Topic

Who “sent” Obama?

My best guess is that it would have been Tom Ayers who vetted Obama to Sidley and that would have helped him get the attention of someone like Newton Minow. (And that would come in very handy later in Obama’s career as Kaufman suggests but not just because of the fund raising that Minow could help with but perhaps also helping with an introduction to the Kennedy family, whose recent endorsement of Obama came at such a critical moment in his campaign.)

It is highly unlikely that a 30-something second year lawyer would have been plucked from relative obscurity out of a left wing law firm to head up something as visible and important in Chicago as the Annenberg Challenge by Bill Ayers if Ayers had not a lready known Obama very well. Obama likely proved himself to Ayers in the battle for local school control when at the DCP in the 80s. One guess as to why Obama does not play up his educational experience more thoroughly now – it certainly could be of use to him one would think in beefing up his “I have the experience to be President” argument – is that it would lead to a renewed discussion of the Bill Ayers connection, which is clearly toxic for Obama.This likely explains why Obama tried a kind of head fake when asked about Ayers in the recent TV debate. Obama said Ayers was a “professor of english.” Yet, Obama chaired the Annenberg Challenge for three years and served on its board for another three years, working closely with Ayers on grants to Chicago schools. And he did not know that Ayers was a professor of education? That strains credulity.

As it seems The One is trying to cover every single base:
Hey Barry -

Explain your long-standing “relationship” with the (also) twenty-year choir director, murdered execution-style (Chicago hit job) days before your debut on the national political stage, after he had been in correspondence with Larry Sinclair, another paramour ready to blow the whistle.

It’s been alleged that Wright was right in the middle of that,(in more ways than one) too.

Think we have figured out WHY you hung around TUCC for twenty years. All of Chicago knows. Share it with the rest of us, won’t you?

Quoting scriptures really doesnt mean much. Most educatied agonistics I know can really agrue the bible. Although Obamam might not be able to speak very well without a telepromter, I think he is smart enough to know enough of the bible to keep the facade going.

WaPo ombudsman admits Obama dominates coverage – and not just at WaPo! – but in all media. Corporations know a cash cow when they see one.

Obama’s Edge in the Coverage Race

Democrat Barack Obama has had about a 3 to 1 advantage over Republican John McCain in Post Page 1 stories since Obama became his party’s presumptive nominee June 4. Obama has generated a lot of news by being the first African American nominee, and he is less well known than McCain — and therefore there’s more to report on. But the disparity is so wide that it doesn’t look good.

Has anyone tracked SoetorObama’s strange transition into an MLK accent when he speaks? In much the same way he dresses like JFK, he has donned this affectation for poltical benefit. Everytime I hear him speak he sounds more and more like MLK.

You are Obama speech this in an audio of what he was tought to be racist-I heard it we all heard it-White people must die-Get into the big house and take control for who all you terrorist friends.

NOWAY!NOBAMA –AND NO WE WILL NOT VOTE OBAMA AND WE WILL NOT FALL IN LINE IN DENVER TO PLAY ANOTHER FALSE TRAP AS IT WAS ON MARCH 31,08-NO REV J WRIGHTIS WRONG-OBAMA BROUGHT THIS RASIST IN TO USE IT-GO TO HELLOBAMA!

it’s just about electing an African American president–wouldn’t matter if he had an IQ of 200 or 20. And that’s so unfortunate, but I guess America has a way to go before it won’t matter what race the candidate is. He being the first AA to get this close has a large portion of the population not even thinking straight. This man should have bided his time. He’s young. He needed to learn to be a true civil servant and serve this country in the Senate some more, rather than listen to the witch in his mirror that he’s the fairest in the land. (She might have looked a lot like Oprah.)

It wasn’t his turn. But now that the DNC has placed him on this pedestal, they can’t take him down without risking all-out war among their ranks.

What Hillary brought was years of experience and genuine concern for this country. McCain brings years of major accomplishments in service for this country and the wisdom that comes from age, as well as a deep love and concern. Age is a good thing.

BO wants glory. BO wants cities renamed for him, his face on a coin, mothers in America to name their children after him. No one will ever convince me that he has this country’s best interests in his heart. He had barely become an Illinois state senator when he began his mission for a US Senate seat. He barely became that and he coyly tested the waters for the presidency.
He has truly done NOTHING worthy of a presidential position.

Here is something else to think about: The black people trusted Obama and elected him to the Ill. State Senate, he directed tax payer money into the pockets of the Chicago Combine and Tomy Rezko.
The tax money came from well intended tax payers who tried to help provide better living conditions to the poor people living in Chicago’s South Side Slums. Obama left them to freeze in the winter and die of heat in the summer, to live in rat and cockroach infested garbage strune slums with broken windows and doors.
Obama got a landmark mansion in Chicago’s historic district, complements of Rezko and the Chicago Combine.

Yet, when South Siders go to church Wright, who knows the truth and has his hand out behind his back for the crooks to fill, just as the Rev Phlem does, tells all the suffering Black folk that it is because of White folk’s greed and racial hate that they suffer – and the Black folk all jump up and clap and shout Amen, Hallelujah.

Think about that,

if that isn’t the race card, I don’t now what is.

Rev. Wright was the turning point for me. I never trusted Obama after seeing his crazy pastor.

I was watching c-span on Sat. 8/16. Waldman, a representative from Media Matters was one of the guests. He basically stated in so many words that bringing up Rev Wright makes a person a racist. If you go to C-span.org you can see the interview.

Here’s an O’Reilly/Fox video that says the same thing about Waldman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xigZDeqdI54

Walman’s analogy is crazy IMO, it’s almost as crazy as Rev. Wright is.

Rather than being penalized for the tactical move of removing his name from the Michigan ballot, on May 31 Obama was rewarded instead, by the Rules & Bylaws Committee of the DNC. He was given delegates who did not vote for him, and was even given four of HILLARY’s delegates. There is no precedent for that kind of theft.

If they do seat all the delegates like BO says he wants now, doesn’t that mean he gets eight of Hillary’s Michigan delegates?

Keep in mind that Obama’s first and only christian awakening was in THAT church with THAT minister. He never embraced or followed any organized faith before that. From what I’ve heard, he was exposed to more hate filled rhetoric than to christian faith preaching. So for him to hold up HIS (hate filled) christian faith as an example of his goodness, is only political expediency. It is a far cry from the christianity the the majority of Americans know.
