Obama Skips Church and Heads to the Gym Instead….Again…

This guy very probably looks in the mirror every morning and night as he practices his newest “why marxism is good for you” speech. If he had been a rapper instead of a politician, he would wear the most and heaviest gold chains and have the most diamonds.

President elect Obama is still looking for an official who can swear him in on innoguration day without speaking his middle name.

Is anyone surprised? Really? Has our perception of Obama changed any from what we knew him to be prior to his being elected president? How? He is still the leftist marxist he was a few weeks ago.

Guess Arnold got under his skin at that McCain rally and it’s still smarting.

Truth be told, why should Obama suddenly attend a traditional church?

Mike,

So going to a gym is self worship?? NOT!! It’s a good thing he gets to gym often.
Where did you ever get the idea he did not miss a single sunday for 20 years??
assuming again? do you listen to yourself so much your spew becomes truth?

jainphx: separatist churches in Washington? He is not in Washington! He’s in Chicago..

(New Republic) Bush is one of the most explicitly religious politicians in American history. Both of his presidential campaigns have used religion to appeal emotionally to voters. The entire philosophy behind his signature slogan, “compassionate conservatism,” rests on the belief that religious communities have a unique ability to tend to the nation’s social ills. And yet, after the flood of coverage around Bush’s first–and only–visit to a neighborhood church during inauguration weekend in Washington, D.C., no one has bothered to report on the president’s whereabouts on Sunday mornings.

Around Washington, D.C., it’s considered bad form to point out that Bush doesn’t regularly attend church. “You don’t have to go to church to be a good religious person,” argue his defenders. And they’re right. They have made much political hay, however, over polls that indicate Democratic voters attend church less frequently than Republicans, so even the most brazen feel compelled to offer explanations for Bush’s absence from church membership rolls.

The very fact that the president doesn’t attend church, some leading conservatives insist, is proof of what a good Christian he is. Unlike certain past presidents they could name but won’t–ahem, cough, Bill Clinton–Bush doesn’t feel the need to prove his religiosity. “This president has not made an issue of where he goes to church,” says Michael Cromartie of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. “I find it refreshing that we don’t have a president coming out of church with a large Bible under his arm.” Conservatives relish this opportunity for a little gratuitous Clinton-bashing. In private, however, they admit the explanation doesn’t hold up. “I really don’t get it,” one prominent Bush partisan told me. “There’s no reason why the president couldn’t find a church around here if he wanted to.”

Meditate for Obama with candles and incense? Oooh… Hmm…

Sounds like messiah worship to me, Mike. Good point & thanks for that link.

Of course, the time frame requested would preclude the attendance of church services. Why not choose Friday? Oh that’s right, Friday is the Muslim Sabbath and the day for religious gatherings. He wouldn’t want to upset Islam worshipers by suggesting such a thing, would he? And since he had Jewish supporters, for whom Sabbath starts Friday evening and ends on Saturday evening. Yet if you’re Christian and you were also an Obama supporter, I suppose it is okay to have Obama-Biden as the icon you revere on your own Sabbath day. That’s what? 2 of the 10 Commandments one must break every week to count yourself as an Obama devotee? 2 more checks in the “Obama=Possible Anti-Christ” column in my score-book.

Does anyone else see anything blasphemous in this, or is it just me? Please explain to me again how everyone figures him to be a devout Christian when he sets this standard and still does not refute those who call him “Messiah” (Including BTW Farrakhan, who is a Muslim, NOT a Christian).

1. We all worship in our own ways
2. It is none of your business what he does religiously. He elected him to be a secular president, not a pope.
3. Maybe you self-serving Pharicees should stop praying so loudly in the temple worry about your own backyard.

You know what? Most of my family didn’t attend church yesterday, either. I went, but my family was utterly exhausted and I decided that we’d have some personal devotional time later.

I’m not going to jump on the guy for skipping a few weeks of church. He can’t go ANYWHERE without disrupting things, thanks to the Secret Service and (of course) the media, so why not take a break?

WORDS MATTER? JUST WORDS?

“You know, I won’t say that I was a perfect attendee. I was regular in spurts.” — BHO

Perhaps it was just a misquote, and it should have been “You know, . . . . I was regular in SPORTS.”

So, you see, there really is no problem. It’s all just a matter of perception, … or is that deception? My guess is that depends on which side of the lie your standing on.

But when it comes down to what is important, it isn’t just the words, but the deeds. And if the words are pleasant but the deeds stink, then… Houston, we have a problem.

For your information, Mike, we’re a Southern Baptist family.

I don’t “pray to Obama,” and I don’t think that I’ve said anything here that deserves that kind of treatment.

Cary

He says one thing, and does another. He’s a proven L-I-A-R (since it has to be spelt out for you), not only about that, but everything else, like probably even where he was born, and a couple hundred other things, as well.

Cary

A strong commitment to honesty means telling the truth, someting Obama seems all to good at avoiding. Stop trying to pretend I said something I didn’t

I’m simply trying to asses what you are saying. And sorry, I don’t normally sign on-line petitions, even if I agree with their premise.

Wes,

You’ll get use to Mike after a while if you hang in there. His m.o. is to insult first, think later (if at all). Civility is not his strong suit. Because remember, this is *his* America, not yours.

RAP:

Hi, I’m Dave Hussein Noble, I noticed Mike calls you CRAP. It’s an honor (or maybe its a perverse pleasure) to be insulted by Mike. Join the club. BTW, he has created his own personal syntax and interprets English sentences according to it. Get used to it.

Finally, Blast, with Mike that’s all too often the case. He also likes to create strawmen when your actual argument is too tough to answer.

Oh and Mike, this one’s for you too. Cheers, Captain America.

@Mike’s America: You really didn’t read a word of what I wrote, did you? Or perhaps your own life has to be compartmentalized. Only pray at church, only read in the library, only eat in the dining room…. but you’ll piss anywhere, won’t you?

@Mike’s America:

I’m normally quite civil, but when you twist what I say into what you want it to mean, then you take what you get. There was no “name calling”, by the way, yet another twist of yours.

I couldn’t care less about Obama’s church going habits, nor any other President’s or politician’s, and showing their face in one isn’t going to make me feel better about a damn thing. Frankly, your logic, your argument and your methods of conveying both are rather sophomoric.

At the time I addressed your troops issue, I wasn’t home and didn’t have time to look it up -AS I SAID. Frankly, it isn’t relevant to the going to church issue.

So grasp at straws however you want. If this is the best you can do, then I feel pretty good. But I’d recommend, instead of offering ad hominem hyperbole, perhaps you’d do well to take some time to do some praying yourself.

So, I’m done with you. Go ahead and have the last word, but try to make it something intelligent, PLEASE.

“Come on guys…go easy on Obambi. He has to look good for all his male “staffers” you know.”

And just when you thought the discourse couldn’t get any more lowbrow, a gay joke emits from the smelly depths of the locker room. “Yeah, man, he’s a sissy. Yuk, yuk.”

Mike wrote:

I guess he no longer needs the political and social connections that church provided.

Now he’s free to go back to doing what he does best: worship himself!

Mike, here’s one liberal who agrees with you.

I don’t want to keep beating the same horse, but watch Obama with the following in mind.

Firstly, I agree with you 100% that Obama is all about Obama. That was very clear from that excellent PBS special on Obama and McCain which aired the night before the election. Everything he’s done has been done in a very calculated fashion, to advance his own career. This includes moving to South Side Chicago, chumming up to Mayor Daly (through which he met Ayers, a close friend of Daly’s), joining his Church, going to Harvard Law and running for Law Review President, and so forth. I even think that he married Michelle, at least in part, to advance his career.

He has no bed rock principles. He’s not committed to any particular cause or ideology. I think that George W Bush was principled, but so was Jimmy Carter. I think that Clinton and Nixon were not principled. They were also about their own careers. Both, unfortunately, had serious personal flaws.

Obama is like Clinton and Nixon. Obama’s ambition is to be the greatest President in the history of the USA. But the only way he gets there is if he does a spectacularly good job.

What’s he done so far? Well, look at national defense. He’s keeping on Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense. His national security advisor is Marine Gen. Jim Jones. His NSA chief is Admiral Dennis Blair.

George W. Bush’s National Security Advisor was Condoleeza Rice. His Secretary of Defense was Rumsfeld.

So the idea that Obama is going to turn over the keys to Washington DC to Osama Bin Laden are greatly exaggerated.

Obama is an incredible politician. Here’s what I predict. He’s basically going to toss the hard core liberal “base” under the bus. Where else are they going to go? Are they going to vote for Sarah Palin? And he’s going to move as far as he can to the Right to marginalize the GOP and possibly to destroy the GOP, which will lose the economic conservatives to Obama and which will lose the strong national defense segment to Obama and which will be left only with the Evangelicals and racists and anti-immigrants as a dependable base.

Evaluate everything he does and ask yourself if everything he does is not consistent with the above strategy.

I can’t believe your lack of morale Larry. So for you a President that is a liar, a manipulator, a fraud and an American’s hater is good for this country. WOW! And this is who you vote for. Like all always say: Like attracts like.

And don’t kid yourself, Obama will not be the greatest President, he will be the worst if he ever gets to be sworn in. And I sure hope he won’t be President in January. Obama has a narcissic personality disorder. And American needs someone who will work for them not for himself. Obama is only a puppet in Soro and others crooks hands. He will do hat they will tell him to do and he will ruin this country. When communism will be in U.S., you will see that I was right Larry. Meanwhile, keep dreaming!

Larry, here is an interesting article for you:

The New World Devised by Maurice Strong and George Soros
By Judi McCleod, Monday 24, 2008

Have you ever wondered how capitalism was pushed over the edge of the cliff just six weeks before the American presidential election?
According to financial experts, the world, as we know it will change dramatically by the year 2012. People, who provided for their families only three years ago, will be desperately searching for food.

The story of the economic meltdown of 2008 begins and ends with the United Nations and its carefully managed One World Order.

Behind the curtain of this dark chapter in human misery are ogres Maurice Strong and George Soros.

It is both power lust and an all-consuming hatred of the United States of America that elevated this deadly duo to ogre status.

Fortunately for all of those searching for answers, much of their plan for the world, post November 4, 2008 is already mapped out in writing.

Leading economic experts and Strong agree that in 2012 people will be going hungry.

“Strong has worked diligently and effectively to bring his ideas to fruition, He is now in a position to implement them.” (Henry Lamb, The Rise of Global Governance, available at soverignty.net…). “His speeches and writings provide a clear picture of what to expect. In 1991, Strong wrote the introduction to a book published by the Trilateral Commission, called Beyond Interdependence: The Meshing of the World’s Economy and the Earth’s Ecology, by Jim MacNeil. (David Rockefeller wrote the foreword). Strong said this:

“This interlocking…is the new reality of the century, with profound implications for the shape of our institutions of governance, national and international. By the year 2012, these changes must be fully integrated into our economic and political life.”

These chilling words are in line with ones he used for the opening session of the Rio Conference (Earth Summit II) in 1992, that industrialized countries have:

“Developed and benefited from the unsustainable patterns of production and consumption which have produced our present dilemma. It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class—involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work-place air-conditioning, and suburban housing—are not sustainable. A shift is necessary toward lifestyles less geared to environmentally damaging consumption patterns.”

The only change that has happened since 1992 is that Strong and Soros now have their Agent of Change coming to the White House.

In other words, the world according to Maurice Strong, is unfolding as it should.

In an era ridden by bankruptcies and job loss, Zombie-like cultists will swarm Washington, D.C. for the January 20, 2009 inauguration of Barack Obama.

Voluntary acceptance of global governance is the preferred means of achieving a takeover of America without a single shot having been fired.

“Education programs to teach the “global ethic” have been underway by UNESCO and by UNEP for more than twenty years.” (Page 90, The Rise of Global Governance). “That the U.S. government, through its representatives to the various U.N. agencies, has not already crushed this global governance agenda is s testament to the effectiveness of the U.N.’s education program.”

Back to how to how ogres Strong and Soros, along with others, were able to hijack a world economy.

“A new Economic Security Council (ESC) would replace the existing Economic and Social Council. The new ESC would consist of no more than 23 members who would have responsibility for all international financial and development activities. The IMF, the World Bank, and the WTO—virtually all finance and development activities—would be under the authority of this body. There would be no veto power by any nation. (Italics CFP’s). Nor would there be permanent member status for any nation.”

Bloggers and website owners may recall how the Ohama campaign team seemed to have thousands of volunteers available with G-Mail accounts to send out a barrage of nasty letters any time a blog or website asked too many questions or dared to criticize “The Messiah”.

In a post January 20 world, it seems that Obama will develop his activist base from within the White House.

But in Maurice Strong’s New World, NGOs will flag the new order about truth tellers: “The Commission (on Global Governance) believes that the U.N. should protect the “security of the people” inside the borders of sovereign nations, with or without the invitation of the national government. It proposes the expansion of an NGO “early warning” network to function through the Petitions Council to alert the U.N. to possible action.” (Italics CFP’s).

Maurice Strong has had a longtime influence with the major Foundations, which provide the funding for NGOs, and he has influence with the major international NGOs that coordinate the activities of the thousands of smaller NGOs around the world.

Small wonder that Strong spends his time far away in Communist China these days.

But there is a silver lining to be found even with the darkest of storm clouds over America and something for Americans to contemplate over the upcoming holidays.

In spite of the hype coming out of the Office of the President-elect, Obama is merely a fop for the global elite. He is their, and not the people’s true agent of change.

The January 20 inauguration with its promise of 5 million observers in Washington, D.C. will be the extravaganza of a lifetime, deepening recession notwithstanding.

It is Obama’s job to demoralize the 58 million people who did not buy into his campaign and for all of those who do not want One World Order.

Starring among all the glitterati at the Inauguration Ball, Barack and Michelle are like the stick figures from a kindergartener’s drawing, for this is an emperor who truly has no clothes.

Retaining Bush people as national security appointees may not affect Obama’s possible plan to remake america in the socialist mold.

IMHO, that’s more of an economic question rather than one affected by national security. A national security disaster would do more to threaten Obama’s hold on the presidency, and thus his marxist plans for america.

With Bush people in charge of national security, Obama knows he is getting people better qualified than his kumbayah democrats to handle this important area.

I see Obama as driven by personal ambition for power first, then by idealogy. He has to secure his power first, and avoid anything that may disturb it, like a national security crisis(eg:massive terrorist attack). But then, having secured this angle, he will carry on with his marxist plans to increase govt control of money and assets and to redistribute wealth as he sees fit, to further increase his power by creating a new class of voters financially dependent on handouts from his admin.

His abandonment of the extreme left is typical chicago gangsta style: use em and throw em under the bus when they ain’t useful anymore. With Obama, all of them get thrown, his pastor Wright, Ayers, the extreme left, his white grandmother…….
