Wendy Wright (concerned women for America) calls Obama Religulous
Rightwing Wacko... Leader Founder Concerned Women for America


Wendy Wright would question the president’s personal religious commitment. Who is she to pass judgment on Obama? It’s especially appalling that she does so in part because he has failed to engage in a public prayer.

What Gall!!!



Wright is in the same boat with James and Shirley Dobson. When George W. Bush was in the White House, these Religious Right leaders were invited for public prayer services at the White House and private phone calls to help set public policy. Obama listens to the views of religious conservatives, but they are no longer the Established Church. Let all the people say “Amen” to that! So basically they are mad....because they're not frequenting the Whitehouse parties like they use to. Concerned Women for America are bunch of wine guzzling, party going hyprocrites that attended every event the Whitehouse hosted under G.W. Bush. Life must be tough being out of the loop these days.

Obama is clearly a devout Christian. What galls Wright and other Religious Right leaders is that he is not their kind of Christian.

In Wright’s America, only those who share her fundamentalist religious – and political – beliefs qualifies as a first-class American and a first-class Christian.

Fortunately, Wright’s America is not the real one; it’s a nightmarish alternative-universe America that must never become real.

2. Maybe Obama has read his 5th and 6th versus of Matthew, Ch. 6:

- - -
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
- - -

"...that they may be seen of men."

3. My opinion: Obama is sincerely religious, but some members of
his family, including his mother, were not "religious" in a traditional sense. Therefore, Obama is very sensitive to the feelings of those who have their personal beliefs about the things religious.

That's just my guess. I am very grateful for Obama's inclusivity about religion since I am a Unitarian, a very small religion in terms of size. In some ways, fundamentalism is just intolerant of people who express their religious feelings in language or beliefs that are different from theirs.
