Barack Obama will definitely bring about change if he’s elected. Unfortunately it will be change for the worse. The man is such a two-faced hustler that if the United States is ignorant and blind enough to elect him, we will deserve what we get.

Here’s one quote referring to his now former church:

Obama said he has “tremendous regard” for the church community, but said he could not live with a situation where everything said in the church, including comments by a guest pastor, “will be imputed to me, even if they conflict with my long-held, views, statements and principles.”

Interesting, isn’t it? He also mentioned that the church didn’t deserve to be denounced.

“I’m not denouncing the church, and I’m not interested in people who want me to denounce the church,” he said in response to a question. “It’s not a church worthy of denouncing.”

Looking at the video of both Wright’s sermons and Pfleger’s sermon, the folks in the church were clapping, jumping up and down and cheering wildly as both “reverends” spewed their racist and profane rhetoric. It was very apparent that the people in the church agreed with what the un-reverends were saying.

I believe God has a special place in hell for people like Wright and Phleger who take their positions as spiritual leaders to foster and incite racial and class animosity. I would say that Trinity United Church of Christ - along with the race baiting preachers and cheering congregation - are very definitely worthy of being denounced.

Obama made other statements that I found amazing:

Mr. Obama said he and his wife would search for a new church but probably would not make a decision until after the election in November.

He acknowledged that the search would be a tricky business, not least because African-American pastors often pride themselves on speaking with a clear “prophetic voice” about social and racial injustices. Their aim is not to force parishioners to agree with every word, they say, but to spark thought.

“There is a cultural, a stylistic gap,” Mr. Obama said, between the tradition of some black churches and some white churches.

The ministers’ words, torn from their context, can detonate politically, he said.

“There is certainly a tradition in the African-American church to speak against injustice, against racism, against sexism, against economic inequality,” Mr. Obama said. “My hope would be that any presidential candidate can go to a church and hear a sermon and even hear some controversial statements without those views being imputed to them.”

Did you notice that at no time did he mention religious beliefs or Christianity. It’s not about Protestant, Catholic, Jew - Methodist, Baptist, Episcopalian. Church, to Obama, isn’t about faith - it’s about “black churches” and “white churches.” It is also interesting that he talks about “African American churches” preaching against racism - when the most vile and blantantly racist comments I’ve ever heard are from the pulpit of Obama’s church and were spoken by “ministers” that Obama has lauded. Actions speak louder than all of Obama’s slick words.

However much Obama would love to distance himself against the racism and hatred of his former church, it is painfully obvious that even if he doesn’t share all their beliefs, he definitely has tolerated the expression of racist beliefs in his own church and by men he considers “spiritual advisors” for twenty years. And even now, he can’t bring himself to denounce his church’s toxic beliefs. IF he believed so strongly in equality and in bringing people of all races together, he would have left Trinity United Church of Christ - and Wright - and Pfleger - about twenty years ago. It’s twenty years too late to believe a word Obama says.
