Obama catches AU's attention
Tuesday, December 11, 2007
The geniuses at Americans United for the Separation of Church and State have now added Obama to their bad boy list. From Jeremy Leaming's post on AU's blog:
And of all the religiously mixed political activities of Obama's campaign, Leaming picks “Look at the day the Lord has made"???? Ouch! Leaming is fearless in his advocacy for the separation of church and state.
Obama can’t seem to pass up a church invitation or an opportunity to expound on his Christian beliefs. Over the weekend at a rally in Columbia, S.C. with media mogul Oprah Winfrey at his side, Obama quoted scripture in telling the audience of 29,000, “Look at the day the Lord has made.”It's not really a change of heart for AU - Obama is merely added to AU's list of candidates that bring up "God talk" on the campaign trail. Americans United gave Obama and the UCC a pass when he campaigned at the United Church of Christ's General Synod in June and again when Obama drew media attention with his "campaign alter call" in October. Instead of scorching Obama like they have a politically selective list of Republicans, Obama gets added to the "they all do it" list.
And of all the religiously mixed political activities of Obama's campaign, Leaming picks “Look at the day the Lord has made"???? Ouch! Leaming is fearless in his advocacy for the separation of church and state.
