Another pastor problem for Obama

James Forsyth 5:38pm

From Obama's church last Sunday, this is hardly going to help either party unity or Obama with working class whites.

as Porky Pig said, "that's all, folks"

You can put a fork in the Obama for President campaign, because it is done (though it may take until Nov. 4 for that to sink in for the Obama disciples).

A powerful message delivered in a throughlu irresponsible way (not to mention in the WRONG place if he wanted to help Obama).

I'm beginning to feel sorry for Obama - almost.

Leaving aside the politics, that's how sermons are delivered there?

reminds me of Father Charles Coughlin in the 1930s - another horrendous demagogue who started on the left.

you can never say the sermons here are dull.

Inaccurate, inflamatory, rascist perhaps - but never dull!
