Oh what a losing canidate will do when he gets desparate. Earlier this month I commented, a plain ordinary comment, on Barack Obama’s poor attempt to play the race card. [1] Having misplayed the race card, Obama now proceeds to misplay the relgiion card. Obama essentially accuses everybody who did not accept liberal secular values of being a religious bigot.
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP [2]) – Sen. Barack Obama told a church convention Saturday that some right- wing evangelical leaders have exploited and politicized religious beliefs in an effort to sow division.
“Somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and faith started being used to drive us apart. Faith got hijacked,” the Democratic presidential candidate said in a 30-minute speech before the national meeting of the United Church of Christ. As a presidential canidate, Obama is entitled to tell us how hie would run the country. Such is his right. However if Obama wants to tell American what is, and is not morally acceptable, he should resign from the Senate, and from politics and don the collar.
In this cycle Obama has already shown he not ready to stand-up to the Clinton political machne. By mixing religion and politics, he shown a fundamental inability grasp the seperation of church and state. By belittling mainstream moral values, Obama shown himself unqualified to ever serve as president.
