“Christian leader”

Got to give Obama high marks for trying. He’s wearing an American flag lapel pin. You know, the pin he earlier said wasn’t needed to show his patriotism, and which he had not worn during the primaries until now.

Now, because of the controversy surrounding his long-time association with the anti-American, anti-white pastor Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s attempting to demonstrate his Christian street cred. The story headline in the Wall Street Journal is the straightforward “Obama Courts Christian Voters in Kentucky.”

Well, despite his name, Obama isn’t a Muslim, although his sympathies towards Islam are likely more, uh, nuanced than those of most Christians. But since exit polls from West By God Virginia demonstrate that Barack Hussein Obama’s got some credibility problems with white Christians, what’s a politician to do?

Go into full Elmer Gantry mode, reinventing himself as an evangelical; a go-to God guy. Which is appropriate for the One We’ve Been Waiting For. Obama’s got that cross in the background; the same image that would get any Republican in trouble. And, when an actual evangelical Christian, Mike Huckabee, showed a cross-like image, the Party of Atheists (Democrat) went nuts.

But now that Obama advertises himself as a “Christian leader” (from a campaign pamphet), why, that’s just fine.  Just God help any Republican who did this.  But Obama will now sell himself as a devout Christian, but, in classic lefty terms, his campaign issued a statement that says he doesn’t really believe that you need to be a Christian. All faiths are good, so long as they vote for Obama. From the WSJ:

…the pamphlets are part of its “sincere effort to communcate the values of Sen. Obama’s own Christian faith and the hope that people of all faiths and moral backgrounds will come together.” (emphasis added)

As Christians we are required to forgive sinners who repent. Perhaps that’s what Obama’s folks meant by asking that people of all “moral backgrounds” come together.  But without that annoying call for repentence; that’s just sooo judgmental…

On the other hand, I don’t believe that Obama gives a fuzzy white rat’s behind about who supports him. Ax murderers, baby killers (oh, wait, that’s policy…), doesn’t really matter. It’s all about audcaciously hoping for change.

Obama is a phony. He’s dangerous because he hides, or attempts to hide, his true nature. America must do better than this South Chicago hustler.
