Obama: So Much For Church Vs. State

Thank God something this wasn't Bush, it's always so much more palatable being preached at from the Left, somehow. Maybe the Big O and Pelosi are thinking about starting a choir? Who else could they be preaching to, I wonder? Certainly not the Democrat base.

In an interview with The Associated Press last week, Obama was asked about walking the line where politics and the pulpit meet.

"There are no set guidelines or play book."

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) - White House hopeful Barack Obama stood in front of a pulpit Sunday and told worshippers that his faith "plays every role" in his life.

"It's what keeps me grounded. It's what keeps my eyes set on the greatest of heights," Obama told members of the Redemption World Outreach Center, whose 4,200-seat sanctuary was mostly full.

Faith, he said, is "what propels me to do what I do and when I am down it's what lifts me up." The Democratic presidential candidate said God "is with us and he wants us to do the right thing," including breaking down the divisions between Democrats and Republicans and among religions.

When people work together, he said, there is "nothing that can stop us because that's God's intention."

...there is "nothing that can stop us because that's God's intention."

Isn't that what the terrorists say too?

If a rep candidate did that the church would look like an ant hill of IRS agents

Wahoo Willie, it's okay when dems do it because everyone knows they don't mean it.

The only religion that B. Hussein Obama will preach until the primary will be that of the ecumenist "one church fits all" type of liberal "christianity". Ya know, stuff that the U.U.'s are always on about.

I reckon he has his buddies amongst the Islamists, should he ever actually win the POTUS election.

Who knew Obama was a theocrat fundie?
LOL.
Hypocrisy on the Left knows no bounds!

Obama is an Islamist. The product of an Indonesian madrassa.

"Obama is an Islamist."

Being born in a garage does not make one a car.

"--- Being born in a garage does not make one a car. ---"

I'll give you that... but someone born in and raised in (the formative years of his life) in a garage will likely develop an affinity for things automotive.

Of course, if he is at least half of a good politician, he is already well on the road (no pun intended) to being a professional talker out of both sides of his mouth.

Especially on the matter of his chosen "faith".

Where are our liberal church vs. state commenters? Are they going to sit this one out, and appear to be hypocrites, or will they step up and condemn this man for trying to mix church and state? The drama builds.....

[jj]

Hmm...I bet our liberal commenters are all celebrating the birthday of Columbus, that DWM who brought all the misery to No. and So. America. More drama.

[LOL]

i dont see where he wants to force school prayer or give government money to faith-based charities. Ah, another case of Riehl wingnuts just reading the headline and nothing else

[jj]

Now wait a minute. He's campaigning in a church. I wonder if he got any money, or if any of those religious nuts are pushing his campaign agenda. This all sounds very fishy to me. I call for an investigation.
