A lot has been in the news regarding Barack Obama and his (former) preacher, Jerimiah Wright. So I watched some of the videos on You Tube and was amazed at what I saw.

Pastor Wright was endorsing a Obama from the pulpit, which is illegal if the church claims to be tax-exempt under 501 C 3.

What's up with that? Why are black churches treated different from white conservative churches, which are routinely investigated by the IRS for such violations.

"The single biggest gap in party affiliation among white Americans is ... between those who attend church regularly and those who don't. Democrats, meanwhile, are scrambling to 'get religion,' even as a core segment of our constituency remains stubbornly secular." Barack Obama, from "The Audacity of Hope"

Obama of course trumpetted his religious affilitation until recently when it became a liability .

Hillary doesn't see religion as a liability and she touted her faith during the Pa. Primary

"I have ever since I've been a little girl felt the presence of God in my life. And it has been a gift of grace that has for me been incredibly sustaining. But, really, ever since I was a child, I have felt the enveloping support and love of God. And I have had the experiences on many, many occasions where I felt like the holy spirit was there with me as I made a journey."

I am thankful that I live in a country where religion still plays a role . God Bless America !

Preachers are totally free to preach about the values of politicians, pro or con. Anything else is prohibiting thier free speech. Get over it.

All as i see is "indirect" and "semi official" endorsements. Talk about mudslinging.
