Obama Sees The Polls And Turns To Jesus [Reader Post]

Loading

With his RCP approval rating at 44% and dropping and with Nancy Pelosi as unpopular than BP, Obama has turned to a higher authority.

I know. You didn’t think there was a higher authority than Obama.

Realizing he needs help badly, Barack Obama has found God.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is getting more public about his Christianity.

First he raised his Christian faith at a White House news conference this month. Then he went church for the first time in five months. And on Tuesday he responded to a question with an expansive talk about how he chose Christianity, how Jesus Christ influences his life and how he prays every day.

Sure.

“..he went church for the first time in five months.”

A convenience Christian. Obama’s Christianity is on his own terms, as is pretty much everything else. Obama has not been part of a church since he resigned from the Trinity Church in Chicago in 2008. The Trinity Church in Chicago is the church Obama claimed to attend for twenty years yet not ever hear any of Jeremiah’s Jeremiads.

Until he did.

Obama admitted in his speech that he personally heard some of Wright’s fiery rhetoric. “Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in the church? Yes.”

On Friday, Obama, in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, Obama said something different. “I’ll be honest with you. I wasn’t in church when any of those sermons were issued.”

Obama is both “devout” and “not overtly religious.”

Go figure.

It’s not the first time Obama has ratcheted up his faith. He made an issue of it just as he began to campaign through the Bible Belt in 2008. So this new found fervor is more then likely simply another tool in the political shed. A cynic might note that this chapter from the Book of Obama Revelations takes place in New Mexico with its heavily religious Hispanic population.

But that’s just me.

Maybe Obama didn’t really want to go. Maybe he was forced to go- because of “prejudice and bigotry.” AT least, that’s what Sally Quinn thinks.

Yet from the way the media has continuously portrayed Obama

perhaps he needs no church at all. Maybe he is unto Himself. Maybe he could be his own church.

The Church of Sort of Obama

After all, Evan Thomas said Obama is “sort of God.”

And God doesn’t need a church.

I think Hussein might be flogging that proverbial dead horse with this particular scam. I KNOW I should be quite used to the contempt in which leftists hold the intelligence of “we the little people”, but stuff like this still annoys me.

Aint it great to be muslim and know its OK to lie to promote your political agenda.

In an interview with Cathleen Falsani in 2004 Obama was asked:

FALSANI:
Do you pray often?

OBAMA:
Uh, yeah, I guess I do.

It’s not formal, me getting on my knees. I think I have an ongoing conversation with God. I think throughout the day, I’m constantly asking myself questions about what I’m doing, why am I doing it.

……

FALSANI:
Checking for altruism?

OBAMA:
Yeah. I mean, something like it.

Looking for … It’s interesting, the most powerful political moments for me come when I feel like my actions are aligned with a certain truth. I can feel it. When I’m talking to a group and I’m saying something truthful, I can feel a power that comes out of those statements that is different than when I’m just being glib or clever.

FALSANI:
What’s that power? Is it the holy spirit? God?

OBAMA:
Well, I think it’s the power of the recognition of God, or the recognition of a larger truth that is being shared between me and an audience.

FALSANI:
Who’s Jesus to you?

(He laughs nervously)

OBAMA:
Right.

Jesus is an historical figure for me……..

FALSANI:
Do you have people in your life that you look to for guidance?

OBAMA:
Well, my pastor [Jeremiah Wright] is certainly someone who I have an enormous amount of respect for.

I have a number of friends who are ministers. Reverend Meeks is a close friend and colleague of mine in the state Senate. Father Michael Pfleger is a dear friend, and somebody I interact with closely.

FALSANI:
Those two will keep you on your toes.

OBAMA:
And theyr’e good friends. Because both of them are in the public eye, there are ways we can all reflect on what’s happening to each of us in ways that are useful.

I think they can help me, they can appreciate certain specific challenges that I go through as a public figure.

……

FALSANI:
Do you believe in sin?

OBAMA:
Yes.

FALSANI:
What is sin?

OBAMA:
Being out of alignment with my values.

………

FALSANI:
Where do you find spiritual inspiration? Music, nature, literature, people, a conduit you plug into?

OBAMA:
There are so many.

Nothing is more powerful than the black church experience. A good choir and a good sermon in the black church, it’s pretty hard not to be moved and be transported.

I can be transported by watching a good performance of Hamlet, or reading Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon, or listening to Miles Davis.
…..

Obama is both “devout” and “not overtly religious.”

This statement is accurate! He’s a devout Muslim and not everly religious with regard to Chrtistianity!

he is a muslim.

Christianity? Spiritual Inspiration? Hamlet?

“The Muslim call to prayer is one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

These are his own words. This is where his allegiance lies. Minuteman is dead on! BHO lies whenever it suits him. Furthermore, his actual religion instructs him to do this! Islam mandates deception [taqiyya] when Muslims deal with non-Muslims. Muslims are allowed, and even encouraged, to lie to unbelievers if the lie is for the protection of Islam or the furthering of Islamic goals and objectives. Especially in the cause of Islamic expansionism.

FALSANI:
What is sin?

OBAMA:
Being out of alignment with my values.

His description of sin is so far “off the mark”, where to begin? It has nothing to do with “his” values, but from a never-changing God of the universe. He will know that sooner or later, probably later.

Let’s 53% of Americans voted for him and now only 44% approve of the job he is doing. That 9% deference, do you see it as independents who no longer like him? or lefties that no longer like him? It of course is HIGHER than Reagan’s was at this point, but Ronnie of course had a higher unemployment rate (his was at 10.8% after 30 months) And 44% well that is a lot higher than that of the the last guy who was doing the same job. And Gerry when is it OK for Christians to lie? Or must they ALWAYS tell the truth? Is it OK for good christians to deceive their enemies during war ?

I wonder how many people realize that Francis J. Bellamy–the guy who wrote the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance–was a Christian Socialist?

Maybe somebody should ring up Glenn Beck on his red telephone and inform him.

John:

Check the Qur’an. Al-Taqiyya not only accepts lying but requires it when in the best interests of Islam. Not only during times of war, but whenever it is beneficial. Not quite the same as the Judeo-Christian ethic as writtten in the both the Old and New Testaments!

This reminds me of John Kerry telling us how he is a hunter and proved it by going hunting in a “brand new” hunting outfit. Can you buy a Christian outfit in Washington DC?

“I know. You didn’t think there was a higher authority than Obama.”

That was a good one. I am still laughing at it.

“…how Jesus Christ influences his life and how he prays every day.”

I’m guessing he still prays five times a day.

This is good.

Soros group misquotes the Bible to defend Obama’s misquote
A few days ago Obama spoke at a National Prayer Breakfast.
He said this:

“Those who wait on the Lord will soar on wings like eagles, and they will run and not be weary, and they will walk and not faint.”

That’s pretty close to Isaiah 40:31.

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

KJV

“But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

NIV

Media Matters for America is a George Soros front group that is an apologist for Obama.
It wrote:

“Obama was quoting from the New International Version, while Fox Nation was pointing to the King James Version to debunk him. This would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic.”

Maybe there is another version that Obama was exactly quoting.
Is there?
