Why did Oprah leave Obama's church?

GUAM 50/50 split!
Senator Hillary Clinton ties Obama in Guam! Pundits like CNN & MSNBC got it wrong again predicting Obama would win by double digits. Each candidate got 50% of the votes! More than half the voters will not vote for obama! 56% who heard speech less likely to vote for Obama, his unfavorable rating among registered voters up 37 percent!! Clinton leads McCain 48 to 41 percent among all registered voters, while Obama and McCain are tied. National lead dropped 10pts now tied with Senator Clinton and he is now losing in IN too. Once 25 pts ahead in NC now just 5pts- They are not going to give this Presidency to Obama because hes black and if we don’t blacks will stay home, so what? American is ready to elect a black man not this black man who recently revealed a major character flaw and again calls into question his judgment and truthfulness of the candidate whose entire appeal has been based on character or his lack there of and not solutions. If Clinton is not on the ballot Working White Middle class will stay home and Obama cannot win on just black votes. David Axelrod said Obama doesn’t need white middle class voters. Axelrod said, “The white working class has gone to the Republican nominee for many elections, going back even to the Clinton years. This is not new Democratic candidates don’t need to rely solely on those votes.”
DEMOCRATS WANT OBAMA OUT NOW!

Obama's Chickens Come Home to Roost too little, too late. The Wright controversy had revealed a major character flaw and calls into question his judgment once again and truthfulness of the candidate whose entire appeal has been based on character. Wright is like an uncle you love and respect As imperfect as he may be, he has been family to me for so many years, I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community” "I can no more disown him [Jeremiah Wright] than I can disown my white grandmother." a woman who once confessed her fear of black men after a black man had tried to shake her down for money. She gave him some, but he kept demanding more. "If the bus hadn't come, I think he might have hit me over the head," Obama says she told him. Rev Wright was right! Obama speech is ONLY for political purposes after the severe drop in polls!

Obama is now declaring himself shocked and disappointed at Wright's unrepentantly racist and anti-American views? Obamas obviously support his feelings of anti-America and white hatred that the church endorses to stay for 20 years and raise young daughters in that atmosphere Obama can no longer plausibly claim innocence in this matter, because he is the one who has encouraged Wright by trying to excuse and explain his views. All of this is why it is no use for Obama to backpedal from his association with Reverend Wright, or to denounce him now, six weeks too late. It was Obama who sought to provide the Reverend Wright with immunity from criticism--and he can't complain when the reverend tries to take full advantage of that immunity. This is the final collapse of the noble promise of the Obama campaign. The man who had once put himself forward as the candidate who would transcend racial politics once and for all has ended up legitimizing a Christian equivalent of Louis Farrakhan--and injecting him into the American political debate. http://www.dontvoteobama.net

Smoke and mirrors is all this is. Obama has proven that he is a transformational leader, and unfortunately, the United States is still too immature to accept him and his message. Also, I think that many white citizens in the United States tentatively accepted Obama, but still had the doubts of whether or not a black man could truly lead, so -- of course -- prejudice is a relentless hunter which searches for any excuse to survive, and along comes this perceived controversy. It's sad, really. We have seen how the Clintons have really ruined our country, and now, we might be poised to give them another chance to do it further. I'm quite appalled. I'm not sure what to call it, but why can't a people (Americans in the United States) learn from its past? Or, could it be, that it refuses to? If it is the latter, then my heart cries out for our future generations.

Obama lies, wow when HRC can't tell the truth for a minute and each and every day is caught in a lie. The HRC camp of strays and other outcasts really are getting desperate for her to get beat by McCain, Rove and the GOP attack machine which will eat her and her many, many, many issues alive, pitiful how hateful they are, but, hate seems to be a word that HRC allows in her attack ads and her surrogates.

Umm . . . how does a 50/50 split work out to "more than half the voters won't vote for Obama"?

Is that part of the "new math" that the Clinton's were talking about in the 90s?

Check this post out: it tells the story of how this "white people won't vote for Obama" riff is just a myth.

Since neither Hillry or John McCain will be President this summer, how will they be able to Implement a Gas-Tax Holiday into FACT.. they can't! It is a gimmick that they cannot produce on... That is so sad, and another example of Politicians trying to fool people for a vote on an idea or Gift they can't deliver on or produce. It's basically dishonest and a lie! Barack will not make a Phony Promise to the American people! We have been "sniper-fired" before!

Media is also disingenuous and complicit in this gas-tax holiday lie and myth! First because they know a President would have to sign off on this and, second because they fail to enquire of Hillary or John, just how they plan to sign this into Law when they in fact will not be President this summer! So,once again the Republican-controlled media fail the people by NOT pointing out the obvious! Failed us as they did with Iraq.

As for the obliteration of Iran remark, we should recall what Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill wrote in position 8 after World War II in The Atlantic Charter, both who knew and were familiar with the horrors of war....

Position "Eighth, they believe that all of the nations of the world, for realistic as well as spiritual reasons must come to the abandonment of the use of force. Since no future peace can be maintained if land, sea or air armaments continue to be employed by nations which threaten, or may threaten, aggression outside of their frontiers, they believe, pending the establishment of a wider and permanent system of general security, that the disarmament of such nations is essential. They will likewise aid and encourage all other practicable measures which will lighten for peace-loving peoples the crushing burden of armaments."

Less we forget what the Real Issues are about!

When did Obama have a church?

I think this headline suffers from a lazy writer. Can this upstart online source aim for a higher standard of reporting?

Thanks,

Keep up the good work Oprah. This is getting sillier by the minute but journalists and must keep the show...... must keep the reporting fresh and up to date whether we like it or not.

To the Daily Voice staff I say bravo for excellent up to date reporting. Keep up the good work.

The only thing this much ado about nothing shows is that we need to make sure there is a separation of church and state. I for one don't need to know nor care what a person does with his or her faith since not everyone here is a Christian. This is one of the reasons this country is loathed around the world, constantly going off on other counties as if this were the Crusades to spread their good news and lie about 'democracy', except in Africa where we sit around and let Darfur burn and other genocides happen, and, even Oprah is quiet.

The whole premise of the Newsweek article doesn't make sense, and worse of all, they have no sources to back up their claims. Oprah, nor her spokespeople, have given a reason why she left the church. The magazine is just grasping at straws in order to stir up controversy.

Belle,
You're so right. Once again all of this is a SUBLIMINAL attempt to scare WHITE America from supporting Oprah at this point because of her involvement with Obama and to get WHITE voters not vote for him.

And the strange thing is that it's not a matter of racism but ELITISM. There goes that word again. You’re not good enough to lead us. Just stand behind us and let us lead you! SAD But remember they're not prejudice. GO FIGURE

And Mavis, Oprah can't do everything and you must applaud her for what she has done. After all I don't see Martha Stewart et al, doing anything seriously that is philanthropic in that regard. After all those are gov't issues and Pres Bush rather let Iraq take precedence over Africa. After all there is something to gain from Iraq right? OIL

Hello my name is Dirk Jackson and I am a fervent supporter of Barack Obama. I

am making this article because there has been a lot of discussion about the

black community’s overwhelming support of Barack Obama. In the early stages

of this campaign I was an individual that supported Hillary Clinton and I was quite

angered at Barack Obama for choosing to run for election because I thought he

would only siphon needed votes away from Hillary Clinton and I didn’t think that

he was a serious contender in this election much the way an Al Sharpton or

Jesse Jackson would do had they chosen to contend. But over time and

throughout this campaign as it progressed I began to focus and pay attention to

and listen to Barack Obama’s speeches and I was taken aback and very

impressed with the man as a charismatic, inspiring, and quite frankly attractive

presidential candidate to the likes of which I’ve not seen in my lifetime. In other

words my opinions about Barack Obama had evolved positively and I began to

ascertain that this man was and is the real thing. I absolutely would have felt this

way about him regardless of his race. I think my story is synonymous with what is

happening throughout the black community. Blacks are voting for Barack Obama

not because he’s black but because the man speaks to their issues and concerns

and we’ve concluded that this man is the real deal. So please don’t tell me I’m

voting for him because he’s black. I’m more complex and diverse than that. I

mean the question probably should be if Barack were a white man would he be

doing better in this election than he is or would he be found to be a more

desirable candidate to you if he were white? America I challenge you to really put

this into perspective and ask yourself this question with complete honesty. My

name is Dirk Jackson and I made this article on my

own accord because I am very inspired by the candidacy of Barack Obama.
