Obama’s strength, apart from his integrity in the moral minefield of government, his evident courage (he makes being relaxed under pressure look easy), and intelligence, is that he says ‘we’ more than ‘I’.

Md’s statement is not accurate. I have never heard of an African American church that does not allow Whites to join. Obama’s church definitely does not do this, if it did it would have been used as ammo by his political opponents a long time ago. There are churches that preach what is called “Black Liberation Theology”. But this is not anti-White, it is a carryover of the Civil Rights movement that requires African Americans to work towards the improvements of their communities and to fight against racism. A cause that has been extremely important as legalized discrimination dominated American society until forty years ago.

What an eccentric opinion from md. We must inhabit different worlds. As a white Englishman part educated in USA (Philadelphia, Detroit, Ann Arbor) who lives in inner-city Birmingham UK the idea of a black church that doesn’t welcome a white man is outside my experience or knowledge. Obama gives me hope that America, a country I love, has a chance to emerge from a spreading nightmare of fear and polarisation. Of course we’ll see the slanderers at work but who better experienced to take them in his stride to the Presidency. I’m enormously appreciative of the opportunity to read the words and thoughts of Iranian bloggers. The silence has lasted too long and whether I like or dislike or area or disagree, pleasure comes from the possibility of debate. Respect!

Obama claims his Kenyan father through the Afrcian church in America. These types of churches are basically racist and require someone have African roots to join. They are usually a problem because they are racial. Obama is embarrassed by his church base. Africom may have been his creation. He may have used his influence and that of African Americans and the African church in America to force it’s creation.

Obama is embarrassing . His church is embarrassing. These types claim being African before being American and, basically, are considered treasonous. Obama doesn’t stand a chance and his security just went up; the embarrassment pays.
