Obama: Plays race card. Violates church and state.

Obama Plays Race Card, Calls on Churches to Support Campaign

The program urges black Americans to volunteer their time by making calls, organizing events and going door to door in their neighborhoods encouraging other African Americans to vote for Obama.

Not only is Obama playing the race card in an attempt to pressure black Americans into voting for him, he is also violating the separation between church and state. In the video promo for the campaign, Obama urges black people to pressure churches into supporting his administration by getting his message out via “the faith community”. He also calls on voters to become “congregation captains”.

Again, imagine what the reaction would be any of the Republican candidates launched a ‘Whites for Romney’, ‘Whites for Santorum’ or ‘Whites for Gingrich’ campaign. There would be non-stop uproar. But Obama does the equivalent and gets a free pass.

“I thought race didn’t matter Mr. President?” asks Chad Hasty. “I don’t think MLK would be too pleased with you at all. African-Americans for Obama? Give me a break. Under this President, more blacks are unemployed. More blacks are on food stamps. If I had to bet though, Obama will still pull 93% of the black vote. Again, just a wild guess.”

As part of his efforts to lock down the black community as a voting bloc, Obama has arrived in Florida accompanied by an invasion of rappers and NBA basketball stars – all at taxpayer expense.

What will they think of next? Can you imagine what they would say if someone created a "Mormons for Mitt" type of organization?

What if the "program urged Mormons to volunteer their time by making calls, organizing events and going door to door in their neighborhoods encouraging other Mormons to vote for Mitt".

Well, then it wouldn't be playing the "race card" at all, would it? In fact, it wouldn't be playing any card at all, and so long as none of that activity was done on church property, no problem. As their are while Mormons, black Mormons, Polynesian Mormons, Latin American Mormons, male and female Mormons, fat Mormons and skinny Mormons, and Tutti Frutti Mormons, what "card" would be being played here? A "Mormon" card?

How is LDS concern with certain political and social issues analogous to the kind of appeals to racial solidarity expressed by leftist race ideology?
