Is this church tax exempt? Amazing how I have not heard a peep from Barry Lin and his Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Oh well, this is the first of many Obamagasms we will hear about as the days goes along.
At Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, Braxton reportedly (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/liveblog/wp/2013/01/20/liveblogging-the-inauguration/?Post+generic=%3Ftid%3Dsm_twitter_washingtonpost#l iveblog-entry-8229) crafted his speech around Obama’s personal political slogan: “Forward!”
Obama, said Braxton, was just like Moses facing the Red Sea: “forward is the only option … The people couldn’t turn around. The only thing that they could do was to go forward.” Obama, said Braxton, would have to overcome all obstacles – like opposition from Republicans, presumably, or the bounds of the Constitution. Braxton continued, “Mr. President, stand on the rock,” citing to Moses standing on Mount Horeb as his people camped outside the land of Israel.
But it wasn’t enough to compare Obama with the founder of Judaism and the prophet of the Bible. Braxton added that Obama’s opponents were like the Biblical enemies of Moses, and that Obama would have to enter the battle because (http://twitchy.com/2013/01/20/obama-attends-church-rev-braxton-says-sometimes-enemies-do-it-the-hard-way-invokes-forward-slogan/?utm_source=autotweet&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=twitter) “sometimes enemies insist on doing it the hard way.”
The service ended with the pastor leading the crowd in a chant of “Forward.” Really.
