INTERESTING ARTICLE! THE GREAT DIVIDER OPRAHBAMA, although we ALL have the freedom to practice our own religious beliefs. Not all voters are black.
What Obama's Church Preaches, Erik Rush researches Hussein Obama's church, Trinity United Church of Christ. One could argue that this organization worships things African to a far greater degree than they do Christ,gives the impression of being  separatist "church" in the same vein as do certain supremacist "white brethren" churches – or even Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam. Shocking? An overstatement? One can see for oneself on the Trinity United Church website, which is replete with confirmation of what I present here. An excerpt from their Mission Statement: "We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community. Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:
1. Commitment to God 2. Commitment to the Black Community  3. Commitment to the Black Family 4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education 5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence  6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic  7. Commitment to  self-Discipline and Self-Respect  8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"      9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community 10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions 11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System 12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System." Sound familiar? Of course it is, since it's identical to the 12-point list from theoretical white supremacist candidate's church;

We need new leadership yes, but we don't need someone to lead us by the neck. Impatience is what Obama shows in Q & A's and meet and greets; the nervous handshakes don't impress me, neither does his lack of recognizing human dignity in the people he takes questions from. He's seems too hurried. This i-don't-have-time-for-you attitude suprisingly hasn't resonated and registered among Democrats. John Edwards has actually helped people with mortgages and heating costs (In NH!). I think its shallow that more people are not choosing him. Look at his economic stimulus package, his 80-page book on policy; you think a slacker wrote that book! I think a caucasian man can still lead the Democratics. It should not be un-PC to support a white man for anything. This is the 21st century. Go EDWARDS!

In a time when we are fighting a ridiculous ideological war (our enemy wears no uniform, we're fighting against an idea, not an army) which can't be won; in a time when we are heating up our planet by driving around commuter campers (SUV's) as a status symbol; in a time when we have forgotten to teach our children compassion and the value of education....can we afford a Bush/Clinton...Bush/Clinton era again? It feels like a really bad sequel to a really bad movie. America needs someone with a vision to reunite this country with ourselves. Our national vision has been clouded by the cataracts of money, power and religion in politics (always a bad idea, this is the reason for the separation of church and state). I believe Senator Obama is this person. This man worked very hard as a community organizer and activist in Chicago. This is a man with a law degree who understands civil rights and personal freedom...and OH do we need someone like that now. I hear this man speak and it gives me hope for our future...hope that I thought was gone for good. Please, wake up America. We've lost much of our standing in this world, the respect we earned over the past 60+ years. We need to get our act together. We need to rebuild our country and our place on the planet. I've been very disappointed in us, we're better than this, but I have hope now. We need Obama.
