The media stood and applauded yesterday when President Obama and his family went to church for Easter. Yesterday’s visit to Shiloh Baptist Church in D.C. shows again that Obama really is a man of faith, the reports seem to suggest.
But while the media rushed to report on the first family’s attendance of the predominately black congregation (and the family’s outfits), what it failed to mention are the views held by the church’s pastor. And while those views have not been delivered in the same fiery manner as Obama’s former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, they sound eerily familiar.

The man can go where he pleases to worship his God. He does not attend that church regularly so probably has no idea what the total views of the pastor are.
Give him a break. There is plenty to criticize him about without bringing up stuff like this.
“Pastor Wallace Charles Smith has a history of saying things that are racially divisive. The pastor is simply a wolf in sheeps clothing who is luring people away from sound doctrine. Christ never sought to make distinctions by race or class.
Here is a quote from one of Pastor Wallace Charles Smith's previous sermons. “Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!… We [Americans] believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God.” Is this really the kind of church that our President should be attending?
Rev. Smith is more controlled in his manner that Obama’s pastor of more than 20 years – Rev. Jeremiah Wright. But his themes sound very much the same. Obama continues to be comfortable in the presence of those with such views.

You must think that the President is a total complete moron. You may not agree with his politics but he certainly is intelligent.
He is not going to go into a church that is preaching hate because he has an overwhelming desire to hear a hate speech on sunday.
Get serious. This is why he left the other one. He is a politician and a very skilled one. He probably told his people to pick a popular black church with good photo ops and didn't give a care what the message was.
Maybe that was an oversight by his people but that's it.
