JOE BIDEN delivered remarks Sunday from Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, becoming the first sitting president to deliver a Sunday sermon from the historic church where civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. served as pastor until his assassination in 1968.
“You’ve been around for 136 years – I know I look like it, but I haven’t,” Biden joked, calling King one of “my only political heroes” since entering public service.
In remarks from the pulpit, the president referred to the current moment in American history “the time of choosing.”
“Are we a people who choose democracy over autocracy? You couldn’t ask that question 15 years ago, right?
You would’ve thought democracy was settled – not for African Americans, but democracy as an institutional structure was settled.
But it’s not, it’s not,” he said.
I wonder why President Barack Hussein Obama turned down every invitation to speak at a Sunday Church Service at the most historic church in Black American history?

I think Joe really does have a double after seeing this current picture. In this picture, he does NOT look well.

Demons can’t go in churches.

Unfortunate that it couldn't have been an honest man who gave such a "sermon".

Maybe just give the man credit for doing something halfway sensible instead of actively looking for reasons to hate him, because this is definitely not one of them.
RIP Mr King

He was in office 8 full years, which provided him with 400 Sundays (50x8) to honor Martin Luther King and the Black community, in this way.

Barack was trying too hard to not been as a "black President". He also famously never spoke at the NAACP convention. This is one of the reasons many in the black community thought he was ineffective.

The Catholic Church gave Joe its blessings last year. The Catholic Church is king of the hill.

A Marxist pope who is despised by his priests gave Biden his blessing. That is different.
