Preacher tells First Family, congregation: it’s not that failed president’s fault, you guys expect too much

Preacher tells First Family, congregation: “Many unfairly expected a messiah that could cure the U.S. of all its problems, and now we see it’s not that easy.” Padre, here’s a few rubles, go buy a clue: who was it that raised those unfair expectations? Which candidate’s campaign and the media (ooops, same thing) went around talking about him in messianic terms???? BTW, if you’d have said this in 2008 when it mattered, you woulda been called a raaaaacist. Jerk.

  • I've been voting for forty years and I've never pretended or believed that I was voting for a messiah, or a Dear Leader or a Fuhrer or anyone who could cure all our nation's problems. No single person can do that, and people who believe it are naive or stupid (probably stupid).

  • How many times did we have to see pictures of that Kenyan fool set just right to show a halo around his head?
    You Leftists set this America-hating Muslim up in the White House. It's YOUR fault we're in shambles now.

  • In reading the article, I conclude:
    1) Had a white conservative evangelical preached the same sermon and used G.W. Bush's administration as an illustration for anything good, Barry Lynn, Morris Dees, ACLU goons, et al, would be up in arms.
    2) The sermon could have easily likened the former Illinois senator to King Herod for being in favor of killing so many babies.
    3) The pastor would have served the congregation best by preaching that, while Obama isn't the Antichrist, his economic policies (stimulus spending and new energy initiatives) do qualify him as the False Profit.

    • Ruben:"The sermon could have easily likened the former Illinois senator to King Herod for being in favor of killing so many babies."

      Couldn't agree more, Ruben.

      For all the ominous warnings the leftists gave of a coming "theocracy" when George W. Bush was in office, I knew it would be the God-starved young liberals and liberals in general who would eventually try to fill the vacuums in their souls by making a politician into a messiah.

    • Here's another point - Suddenly the Left have no problem with a total lack of separation of Church and State.
