On The Religious Left, Great Expectations
The first priorities for Barack Obama's administration will be the economy and a variety of foreign policy issues. But the burgeoning religious left, which worked so hard to get Obama elected, expects some movement on its issues, including a robust White House office of faith-based initiatives, pove

Howard Dean's Vindication
God-o-Meter wrote a piece for today's Roll Call on the vindication of Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean's much-derided 50-State Strategy, which is largely about reaching out to the nation's more religious voters in the red states:

More Innacurate Faith Storylines From the Media
God-o-Meter is struck by the number of faith-based storylines the news media appear to have gotten dead wrong this year.
One was the line that Obama was poised to make big gains among white votes, especially evangelicals, who were undergoing a generational shift in their political thinking and reexa

As an Afro-American preacher (Missionary Baptist), I am not at all surprised by the Clinton camp spreading rumors for that is what desperate people do when they get behind in the polls. No one likes to lose in any sense of the word. However, I am suprised at Hillary if she was in agreement with the action. If she was a party to it, then she doesn’t deserve to be the Democratic Nominee let alone the president and it surely would not reflect “Change” but the same old “politics” as usual. I certainly would not encourage any one to vote for her. I don’t mean that I would vote for John McCain either for that would continue the same old insensitive Bush-Cheney policies. I pray that God helps Hillary to clean up her act. Otherwise Obama will have my vote. Thank you and have a good day!

Some one sent the picture to her on the internet. Obama was educated in Jakara as a Muslim when he was a child from 6 to 10 years as his step father and mother took him there for the education. He also attended a Catholic school while he was there and he admitted all of this himself. The education was supposedly radical Muslim teaching. They have been grooming him for the Presidency. Go figure! Remember that song: “Lyin Faces” He is a Politician, remember.

In the pictures depicted acusing other leaders of wearing costumes, it would appear that Hillary is wearing a head cover because she has to in the area for which she is or she might get her head cut off and Bill Clinton is wearing a Prayer Shall. Georgeboy is wearing a dress and is planning to go out trick or treating.

Thank goodness that the Democratic nomination process is now history.
The ugliness that emanated from the Clinton campaign would have done Karl Rove himself proud.
The attempt to fan fear by showing Obama in that outfit exhibited all the worst aspects of desperation. Hillary Clinton lost the nomination for a number of reasons, of which this ugliness is one. However, I have moved on from that and want the Democratic Party to unite as one in order to defeat McCain-who represents more of the same that we have come to expect from George W. Bush. As deplorable as some of her tactics were, there is no denying that she is and will be a great asset on the campaign trail this year.
If the last 7 years haven’t shown us Americans anything else, they should surely have demonstrated the absurdity of voting based on wedge issues and the total uselessness of a president who has constantly operated in campaign mode rather than governing effectively.
