WOULD AN OBAMA PRESIDENCY BE GUIDED BY BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY?

Americans care and worry about whether a candidate’s religious faith would guide their decisions as President of the United States.

A Time magazine poll (NPR online, July 12, 2007) found that approximately 40% of voters believe President Bush’s use of religion has divided the country.

Until his withdrawal as a candidate for the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney was constantly dogged with questions concerning his Mormon faith. Would that faith, much maligned by voters, bloggers, commentators, and the media, play a role in his political decision making?

Romney answered these questions emphatically in a Florida speech on his religion. Romney said, “I will take care to separate the affairs of government from any religion.”

Obama has not spoken that emphatically about his own black liberation faith. In fact, Obama told a South Carolina audience (AP story on MSNBC.com Oct. 8, 2007), “I think there’s nothing wrong public servants expressing religiously rooted values.”

The International Herald Tribune online edition posted an AP story (Dec. 17, 2007) where Obama was asked on a campaign stop in Algona, Iowa if he would allow spiritual and ethics advisers to guide him as president. Obama replied that “It is important for me to have people that I trust, that I can talk to. Obviously, part of that is my religious life, my spiritual life as a Christian, a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ.”

According to Politico.com (Dec 27, 2007), the Christian Science Monitor published an opinion piece where Obama told the writer, “I would imagine that Muslims could serve at lower levels of my administration.”

Would Rev. Racists Wright play a role in an Obama White House?

OBAMA SHOULD "HUMBLY" ACCEPT THE POSITION AS VICE PRESIDENT. IN EIGHT YEARS OF HILLARY CLINTON'S PRESIDENCY, HE COULD LEARN THE "TRICKS OF THE TRADE" AND MAKE MERITS AS "VICEPRESIDENT" TO ASPIRE FOR THE PRESIDENCY IN 2016.
UNITED STATES IS "NOT PREPARED" YET FOR A BLACK PRESIDENT. IF HE GETS THE NOMINATION HE WILL LOOSE
TO MACCAIN AND THE BLACK RACE "WILL NOT ACCEPT "THE DEFEAT".
REMEMBER HOW THE REPUBLICANS "STOLE" THE ELECTION ON 2001? IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN ANOTHER CIVIL WAR WILL BE ON THE WAY. HILLARY IS THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE "PEACE IN OUR BELOVED COUNTRY"

So after all this time, Mr. Obama speaks of Hope and Change?
The only Hope and Change I see these last few weeks, is the Dick Cheney type of Hate and using the racist word for threat. maybe Obamas cousin Dick Cheney is giving him school boy tips how to complain about Anything he does not like.
Lets remember also that Obama Preaches in his Speaches about the great Changes that are possible with him in office.
Does this include his Minister? If so then No way in heck will I cast a Vote for someone who wont dam his minister for making those UN- American statements during their church services, and showing a hatred towards another color? No way will i see that there is ANY hope for a better country, when Barack Obama only says he not stand for what Reveran Wright said, bt in the same sentense will say he has been a good friend for so long he will not Leave him.
So Mr. Obama If someone close to you would change for the wrong, you will still back them. Even if this person Shows the hatred that Rev. Wright showed towards the country and other Citizens to show separation?
So if Mr. Obama feels it is important to keep his friendship with this Mr. Write and has a Friend in Mr. Faricon, and a possible court apperance in Chicago with a Slum Loard, What can I and you expect in the next weeks ahead.
His voting record as a Senator is very poor.
He did vote in 2006 to extend and expand the troops overseas. And when it comes to heading a committee in the senate, they have never even had a conference i hear in over a year? So what kind of in experienced President do you want in the White house everyone?
This is the most important Election i believe in the last 40+ years, and a lot of Americans want to base their votes on weather or not a person is white or black to vote for?
Now that is something i think the 1960's and earlier were about, and martin luther king would roll in his grave if he saw that People were voting for Obama just because he is black!
We need a Leader who will unite everyone from the past 8 years of scare tacktics that the bush, Cheney, and Rowe have put into all our heads. Hillary Clinton has not gotten HERSELF into any troubles.
Both sides votunteers and help have spoken out to much, and hillary has played some political games, but she is not separating the country by color and Religions Like barack Obama Is.
I'm Cathoilic and no one will ever take my beliefs away from me mr. obama! I AM an Real American and will not take this Rev. Wright talking down about my coor and my Country, and by doing this on his Pulpet, he is downing all religions.
So barack you need to grow up and become a decent senator before you can even think about getting the rest of the Super Deligates.
If the Super deligates cant see what is going on, then shame on them! This man barack is NOT Changing things for the better, he is separating us all against one another.
