38. Sadie: I agree with you
It is political speech and also speech supporting one candidate over another in a church which I do believe is a violation of the separation of church and state. But it's OK if Obama's ex minister does it. And just to be clear, I feel the same way about it in the McCain campaign and Clinton's. Religion needs to stay OUT of politics. This minister's speech did connotate to me as well that blacks should vote for Obama because Clinton is white and doesn't know what it is to be black and that she is part of that "rich white man's world" even though she is a woman and has been called bitch, witch, whore, and other assorted names because of it. The point I would then raise with him is, how then is it that Michelle Obama has a position on a corporate board and a million dollar home, and Obama is where he is if the rich white man's world has been keeping them down? Isn't he now part of that "rich white man's world" by running in it?
