Do you think U.S. Senator Barack Obama should move to Africa?
I was reading U.S. Senator Barack Obama’s web site and found this about him and here are the facts and links to why I asked the above question: By checking out U.S. Senator Barack Obama’s web site http://obama.senate.gov/about/ I came across the Church he and his family attends which is Trinity United Church of Christ which also has a web site and found what its about http://www.tucc.org/about.htm and found some very shocking statements which I feel everyone in America should also know, Just read the first sentence below which was copied from their web site and also CHECK OUT SENTENCE NUMBER 4 in the 10 point Vision: 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. The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision: 1.A congregation committed to ADORATION. 2.A congregation preaching SALVATION. 3.A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION. 4.A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA. 5.A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION. 6.A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION. 7.A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA. 8.A congregation committed to LIBERATION. 9.A congregation committed to RESTORATION. 10.A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

- Obama Includes Controversial Ministers Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has launched a religious outreach Web site that contains testimonials from three controversial clerics — including a minister who blames 9/11 on the U.S. The three are Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago; Rev. J. Alfred Smith Sr., senior pastor of Allen Temple Baptist Church in Oakland, Calif.; and Rev. Michael Pfleger, a Roman Catholic priest in Chicago. Reacting to Sunday’s launch of the Web site, www.faith.barackobama.com, Catholic League President Bill Donohue declared: "Rev. Wright was scheduled to give the invocation at the forum of Obama’s presidential announcement on February 10, but the night before the event Obama rescinded the bid: The Illinois senator knew that his spiritual advisor was so divisive that he would cloud the ceremonies. "The black liberation theologian has a record of giving racially inflammatory sermons and has even said that Zionism has an element of ‘white racism.’ He also blamed the attacks of 9/11 on American foreign policy.” May issue already knew of the connection between Wright and Obama — and Oprah Winfrey as well. The issue’s cover story, "Obama and the Oprah Factor,” disclosed that Wright served as a "spiritual mentor” to a young Obama, and Obama wrote on the church’s Web site that while kneeling in the church: "I submitted myself to [God’s] will, and dedicated myself to discovering his truth.” Obama has said that the title of his 2006 book, "The Audacity of Hope,” came from a Wright sermon. The story also revealed that Oprah Winfrey attended services at Wright’s church after she moved to Chicago in 1984. Donohue had this to say about the other two clerics on Obama’s site: "Rev. Smith was honored by the notoriously violent Black Panther Party of Oakland in 1975, and in 1990 was given a community award by the Nation of Islam, an anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic and anti-gay group. "Rev. Pfleger has allowed Nation of Islam chief Louis Farrakhan to preach in his church; he has been arrested for defacing billboards; he has paid prostitutes to worship at his church; and only last week he staged an anti-gun rally in front of a gun store where he exhorted the crowd to hunt down the owner ‘like a rat’ and ‘snuff’ him.” "While Obama is not responsible for the record of these three clergymen, he is responsible for giving them the opportunity to prominently display their testimonials on his religious outreach Web site. If these are the kinds of clergymen he admires, perhaps it’s best he shut down his new Web site and start all over again. It will take more than ‘God talk’ to get Obama out of this jam.” Obama is fooling people, you will see the true side of Obama after he is elected. Say NO to Obama
- I'll buy him a ticket
- obama should move back to chicago or indonesia
- Very good research you found and if he supports the churches "10-point vision" then yes he should move to Africa and run for President there along with everyone one else that feels the same way.
