What exactly does Obama consider the Lord's work?

1) Taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand?
2) Abandoning the people of Iraq and allowing them to be slaughtered?
3) Allowing more and more Americans to be dependent on the government to sustain life, hence robbing them of their spirit?
4) Cozying up with evil dictators with the hopes of 'changing their minds'?

It should be scary to most of us that this man is beginning to believe his own hype. The more I hear him and read his words, the more he sounds like a cult leader.

I guess I'm in the minority on this one. I have no problem with Huckabee or Obama campaigning however they want. If he wants to stand in front of a cross, let him. I'd rather have it be a visible one than a subliminal one (though I never bought the whole planted cross story...what a joke!)

I do agree with banned Wilson, though. How else could Obama convince people he's NOT a Muslim. I STILL see that circulating around the internet.

In the law, we call that "opening the door." It means that if you raise a subject, you can't gripe when you get the refutation from the other party just because you don't like the information that is conveyed or the manner in which it is conveyed. Republican hit squads and Rush Limbaugh "opened the door."

People ripped Mike Huckabee (by people, I mean our "unbiased" old media cabal) for a campaign TV commercial where lighting on a shelf just made it barely resemble a cross...never mind the fact that a Christian cross is not equiaxed like that....I wonder if the editorial board of the NY Times will get all pissy over this one?

Change!

I love how Obama is bitterly clinging to the front of that political piece.

I'm not usually one to be, but I will admit to being offended by this one.

I'm an Obama volunteer from Indiana and work in Kentucky. As much as I dislike the tone of this post, it's right. I would have excoriated McCain for an ad like this. I will make it known to the Obama campaign that this atheist doesn't appreciate that mailer.

Ouch, I stand corrected! What people want say or do to get elected...that reminds me of this great campaign ad in Mississippi you should have seen. . .

tarrandwooley, If you had followed the link through--the same one on the Drudge Report earlier--your questions would be answered.

Where did you get that? I notice that conspicuously by absence is the required "Paid for by Obama for America." Are you sure you have your facts straight on who actually created and is distributing that advertisement? I would guess it is the product of a specific supporter(s), and not Obama's campaign. Look if you can tether this obvious supporter driven message over the campaign's actions, which has never attempted to sell him as a messiah, wait until you see what I can dig up on the GOP and how they like to sell their message. Once again, you appear to be fairly bias in your reporting on this matter.

Maybe if the xenophobic bigots of the GOP hadn't so poisoned the political discourse with Barack HUSSEIN Obama Islamophobia, there'd be no need to remind some voters of Obama's Christian bona fides ?

I make it perfectly clear in my post that I don't believe Obama is a religious zealot. His religion is used only as a means to an end--the advancement of his political career. It is insulting for him to associate it with the "Lord's work."

2008-05-14T18:11:00.000-05:00

I've never heard Obama refer to himself as the messiah, and I've also never heard him state, unlike many evangelical Republicans, that he intends to translate his private faith into public policy. If you can show me how he will do this when elected, then maybe I'd be exercised. But I see no hypocrisy in someone saying they attend church and gain something from it, or that they feel compelled to do "the Lord's work." WHAT the Lord's work actually IS is certainly open to interpretation, but my read on it is that Obama feels an obligation to do more than take care of himself. I wish more people took that attitude. It's unfortunate that more people of faith aren't as able to put their divisiveness aside so they can focus on the larger message of loving all of humanity. If Obama can make people more accepting in church communities because he believes IN church communities, I hope he wins this thing.
