    What Does Obama Believe?

    By Terence P. Jeffrey
    CNSNews.com Editor in Chief
    April 16, 2008

    We now know there are at least two forms of religion that Barack Obama does not believe in: the religion preached by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who baptized his children; and the religion clung to by the bitter people of Pennsylvania, whose votes he hopes will help make him president of the United States.

    SNIP
    ...Reagan also cited the onetime communist and religious convert Whittaker Chambers, who, Reagan said, "wrote that the crisis of the Western World exists to the degree in which the West is indifferent to God, the degree to which it collaborates in communism's attempt to make man stand alone without God.

    SNIP

    Obama would never say the words Reagan said. Instead, he told the crowd at a San Francisco fund-raiser that it did not surprise him that bitter people in small towns in Pennsylvania "cling" to religion "as a way to explain their frustrations." Obama, these remarks suggest, does not embrace the religious vision that won the Cold War, but the anti-religious vision that the Cold War defeated.

    I was hoping someone had an answer.

    But he is only revealing himself, unwillingly, a little at a time.

    This is a convenient distraction which the right-wing is trying to use against Obama.

    It is a distraction that's for sure. Gives Rightie something to occupy his time while the new world corporate order robs him blind.

    It's almost as if Obama's campaign staff organizes these things. First there was Jeremiah Wright, conservatives clapping and gleefully dancing and saying "OOOOhh, we've got him now. Then Obama responded, and in two weeks gained 10 points in the polls in PA. Now its the "small town" remark, giving him another opportunity to respond, and sure enough, his poll numbers go up.

    I suppose it is too optimistic to hope that conservatives will keep attacking him with Jeremiah Wright, his alleged but non-existent muslim background, the stupidity of idiots like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, and now this remark. The backfiring will allow him to ride a landslide into the White House.

    Keep up the Barack Bashing!

    He has no where else to go but up against the carpetbagger. She has her own gaffs to deal with. A rise in the polls in PA is not an indicator of a response to honest criticism.
