This remind you of anyone? Think hard now. Where have we heard this mantra before.

I find this whole I am the instrument of God thing repellant in a secular society.

That's it, again. First he channels JFK, then MLK, then Reagan, and now GWB. From a self-described brother in the 'hood to.... What's next? "Amazing Grace"? "The Voice of God Is Calling"?

"as if obama was saying something from his beliefs and heart as if it were a campain [sic]message". as if? As If? AS IF? He's being interviewed by the POLITICAL editor of Beliefnet. And whose idea was that? Obama's or Beliefnet?

He should keep that to himself, unless he is pandering to the Christian special interest groups

The Bible records that God called forth several men and at least to women to serve as His instruments. It does not record that any of them asked for the job as Bush supposedly did and as Obama now claims to do. On the contrary, many of them didn't want the job, especially Moses. Jonah did everything he could to avoid it. If we take Jesus' words at Gethseme he wasn't real excited about the job either. Here's the point: God chooses whom He chooses. And He does not select amongst applicants.

Anyone who claims what Obama claims here demonstrates to me a lack of understanding of the Bible and of God. This is more evidence of the corruption of the Christian faith and its perversion of Scripture. Samson seduced Delilah with his prowess, not his prayers.

Throughout this campaign I've told everyone there is no way in hell I could ever vote for Hillary. I am at the point of saying the same about Obama. The more I hear from him the less I like him.

you fucking pathetic americans are going to fall for the "god backs me" bullshit once again. if there is a god, i doubt that he would support anyone coming from america. bush has shown us what his god does, his god demands the destruction and rape of little iraq children, the murder of iraq civilians. the wholesale slaughter of iraq women. what kind of fucking god do you americans believe in?

Hillary Rodham Clinton holds a commanding lead over Barack Obama in California as the Democratic presidential contest heads toward the Feb. 5 primary, a new statewide poll has found.

The L.A. Times/CNN/Politico poll was conducted by Opinion Research Corp.

I already voted for Hillary by absentee ballot! So should you.

Just when the pundits are selling Obama as "transformative and restorative," (a kind of political plastic surgeon, I guess) he jumps the shark with this god shit. Shame on him.

First Obama channels the spirit of Ronald Reagan. Now he's turning into George W Bush who also prayed to be "An Instrument Of God's Will" as he readied himself to go to war in Iraq.

What the f*ck is Obama thinking? The great redeeming quality of the Democratic party is their respect for the separation of Church and State and their confidence not to campaign by wearing their religion on their sleeve. Enough Obama, for your own integrity, if not for the sake of the nation.

We all concede you are not a Muslim, never were a Muslim, don't even like Muslims, wouldn't give a Muslim the time of day. OK. you are Jesus all the way...Jesus in the morning, Jesus in the evening.

Now stop either pandering or panicking.

Why must one not hae enough confidence to not need to pray to a god.
I should hope your goal is to be an instrument for the people of the nation& world, and all that is within it- including It.
So if he fucks up either he failed or God's instruciton are fucked up.
So ultimately he is his responsiblity to act as an agent for Doing the right fucking thing!
Stop asking for his divine mission- it's been laid out before you forever- written in the blood of mankind.
Bring a immediate halt to the practice of using Human labor/Futures for profits- as private industry and Gov'ts. Stop allowing US all to be bought and sold on the open market, Where devalueing the commodity is the name of the game- buy low sell high.
End the oppression and violence perpetuated by the Corporatization of the World Economy, Gov't and Resources.
End this plague of mankind, which is contaminating our very Planet.
Cease valuing Oil- as we should have been working on since the '70's.
What will happen when water proves to be the most valueable resource- will it become a commodity too? This vital resource hoarding must stop, for the most vital are being depleted as we speak, then what?
We are a community species- it's about time we start acting like it- not to mention th eonly species on the planet that can change the course.
Otherwise god or nature should have put the dogs in charge- there are far more and better shepherds in that species.

It truly saddens me to read so many posts as if obama was saying something from his beliefs and heart as if it were a campain message. To take such attitudes says there are too many who choose to believe or maybe not believe someone can come from a place not phony or made up to fit the writer. Barack has said the same messages in his books and speechs in church where he doesn't go as a candidate. Are you so jaded by those who have lied and tried to destroy this country they swore to protect? Are you also so ready to go into someones heart mind and spirit as if you know them better than themself. I am not one who easily believes someone when they speak to say the "right" message as the clintons do nor am I so easily led be fools who lie like bush and the keystone kops running on the republican side who are soo very ready to use church and false beliefs to sway those who might be swayed. No I am as jaded as many of you are but I believe this man and he is speaking the truth that has trouble being heard through the noise of those who will lie.

What he is praying...Please God give Resko a fatal heart attack!

Cheesey Christo, another instrument for god!

I talk to god through a toaster. Unreasonable? Just omit the toaster....

How Godly is Zbigniew Brzezinski, Obama's Top Adviser?
