President-elect Barack Obama said in 2004 – while he was a state legislator running for a U.S. Senate seat – that he attended services at Trinity United Church of Christ every week.This is in contrast to what Obama, as a presidential candidate, said this year after controversial anti-American remarks by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright surfaced. Obama then told news outlets that he did not attend the church frequently and was not aware of Wright’s comments.
The comments from Obama about his church attendance appeared in the transcript of an interview posted Tuesday on the religious news Web site Beliefnet.com. The interview was conducted on March 27, 2004 by Chicago Sun-Times religion writer Cathleen Falsani for a story on Obama’s faith, but the interview was not released in its entirety until now.
“One of the churches that I became involved in was Trinity United Church of Christ,†Obama said in the interview. “And the pastor there, Jeremiah Wright, became a good friend. So I joined that church and committed myself to Christ in that church.â€Â
Obama began attending the church in 1988 and formally joined Trinity in 1992. Falsani asked, “Do you still attend Trinity?â€Â
Obama answered, “Yep. Every week. 11 o’clock service. Ever been there? Good service.
I actually wrote a book called ‘Dreams from My Father,’ it’s kind of a meditation on race. There’s a whole chapter on the church in that, and my first visits to Trinity.â€ÂThat is in direct contradiction to what he has said throughout this campaign year.
After the controversy over Wright and Trinity United erupted, Obama gave an interview to the Fox News Channel that aired on March 17. One of the questions that reporter Major Garrett asked was, “As a member in good standing, were you a regular attendee of Sunday services?â€Â
Obama answered: “You know, I won’t say that I was a perfect attendee. I was regular in spurts, because there was times when, for example, our child had just been born, our first child. And so we didn’t go as regularly then.â€Â
In a July 21, 2008 Newsweek article, Obama explained that he stopped going to church as often after he and wife Michelle had children.
“As young marrieds, Barack and Michelle (who also didn’t go to church regularly as a child) went to church fairly oftenâ€â€two or three times a month. But after their first child, Malia, was born, they found making the effort more difficult. ‘I don’t know if you’ve had the experience of taking young, squirming children to church, but it’s not easy,’ he says.
“‘Trinity was always packed, and so you had to get there early. And if you went to the morning service, you were looking atâ€â€it just was difficult. So that would cut back on our involvement.’
Change (to the record) you can believe in!
Or maybe it’s just more of that “pragmatism” we keep hearing about.
By the way, I doubt that this discrepancy in claims would have been difficult for the media to check, were it so inclined. Now that it’s gotten its candidate into office (Shep Smith’s ludicrous, shrill, and utterly empty protestations to the contrary), maybe it can start performing its due dilligence again — this time to cover its own ass should Obama turn out to be less of a “good man,” in the context of American ideals, than some believe him to be.

I thought the kids were in some sort of Sunday school thinger while the adults lapped up the hate speech but this suggests that kids were exposed to that anti-American pastor guy too. It’s hard to tell cause Baracky lies a lot.

Everybody with two working brain cells and a passing acquaintance with sentient thought knew that Obama had lied about his involvement in that church.

This was the critical element of my being unable to buy into the “Obama is a good guy” meme. More than the Born Alive bill or the Marxist upbringing or his work with Ayres or the ACORN connections this ability to look into the camera, Bubba like, and lie with conviction and, ultimately, impunity raised the spectre of teh “ungoodness.”
My great suspicion is, at his core, Obama is one big time arrogant egotist. Trappings are extra.

I said this to a friend the day after the election. “You watch. Before the inauguration, Barack Obama is going to get up and start talking about forgiveness and embracing those with whom we sometimes disagree and welcoming people of all beliefs and backgrounds [except icky conservatives, pee-yuck! -- ed.] back into our fold. ‘It’s time for national healing,’ he’ll say, ‘and I’m starting with a man who served this country and brought me to Christ. I’m proud of my friendship with Jeremiah Wright, and I ask you to forgive him as I have done for some things he may have said in the heat of the moment.’”
It’s just a matter of time. I’d wager Wright will be up on that stage with Michelle and the kids when Barack gets sworn in.

Oh, yeah, feeling really free: four new books’ worth free (one of those a re-print of “Fugitive Days,” (so badly received due to the “unfortunate” event of 9/11).
And Dohrn — hey, she’s liberated, man! She attended a confab in Chelsea, NYC (land of the free, home of the uber-left), with a guy named Jamal Joseph. He’s a cool dude who got an Oscar nomination for a song this year, now the chairman of the film division at Columbia’s School of the Arts. In 1981, though, he was Edward Joseph, a Black Liberation Army thug who was involved in the Brinks Robbery (killing a guard and two policemen, one of whom was Black) — hey, hey, the same heist/murder in which Dohrn was implicated, and spent 6+ months in jail for refusing to testify.

You have to understand that Rev Wright neeevvvver said any of the inflammatory racist whackjob things at the ELEVEN O’CLOCK service. It was either the service before or the service after Obama was present. So Obama was telling the truth he never heard such things during his attendance there.
And even though Obama said in 2004 he was attending Trinity every week, well after he was elected to the Senate, he hardly went at all, so again, he’s telling the truth about his attendance.
And the moon is made of spaghetti.
Comment by cynn on 11/13 @ 5:10 pm #
So what was the case in 2004 is no longer the case in 2008, and this makes Obama a liar? That’s some calisthenic thinking there.
Comment by Mikey NTH on 11/13 @ 5:24 pm #
#53 Kelly:
I am circumspect, perhaps due to training. Law School does train in caution before making a prediction. But based on Pres. Obama’s own words, he has sought out groups, and has a record of using them. The Marxist/leftist groups in college were good to get him introductions into Chicago south-side politics. Trinity, Ayers, etc. were good to get him into Illinois politics. When anything seems to come between him and his next goal, he cuts them off.
So does he actually believe in what they say, or are they just used and useful? Tools, until they become a drag and then abandoned? Does he believe in anything other than Barack Obama? I do not know the answer to that last question, but I am starting to lean towards ‘No’.
Picking Rahm Emanual as CoS leads me to think that the Palestinians aren’t going to get the regard that they think they saw in him, for example.

And, it turns out that Ayers was more than “a gut in O!s neighborhood… In fact, thay were close family friends. But, it’s OK that they lied; you see, “right-wing commentators tried to use those connections to smear Obama, he says…”

“Intermittently” is not how I’d describe “every Sunday”.
And just what the fuck will it take for the left to admit that spending 20 years listening to Wright and never voicing an objection until Wright said the same damned things in front of the press is at the least troubling?
Or is there some reason we cannot hold Obama to the same standards we hold other politicians to?

So assuming that’s the case Rob, assuming that Obama is so thoroughly brainwashed into thinking that the whitey is evil, what will you do? Do you truly think Obama is programmed to execute the fearsome blacky agenda and you must do something drastic? Or do you just sit on the sidelines and snipe?
I’ll take this Rob, Thanks.
Ahem. Well. Cynn. Drastic, how? Other than getting involved in the process and pointing out out every constitutional and factual error I don’t know what you mean by drastic. If he and his cabinet stray too far from the Bill of Rights there may be a campaign to call for his impeachment. But if you mean to are we-conservatives- going to take to the streets and destroy property and loot, I don’t think so. I’ll leave to the reason challenged class.

It appears that cynn does not care to have her president mocked, nor questioned, nor challenged, especially on grounds that she finds weak or hysterical.
My heart goes out to her.
Comment by Rob Crawford on 11/14 @ 8:58 am #
Actually, I don’t assume that’s the case. It’s one of the possibilities, with the other being that he’s so cynical he tolerated that degree of hatred because it opened political opportunities for him. Which, again, should say something about the “progressive” movement that such a place is a door-opener, and should say something about his character, given his willingness to tolerate racial hatred to get ahead.
But, assuming that’s the case, I’ll mostly point and laugh at how the party that accuses anyone who disagrees the least bit with their policies of being “racist” has put an honest-to-God racist into the highest office in the land.
Beyond that, I’ll oppose whatever of his policies I object to, and I’ll make my opposition through lawful, honest, honorable means. You’ll never see me fantasizing about his murder, I’ll work to ostracize anyone who does, and I hope to hell he lives a long life. A long, unsuccessful life, fully aware that the American people eventually rejected what he wanted to do to them (much as Jimmy Carter has), but still a long life.

Pingback by ayers and obama confirm that obama lied : NO QUARTER on 11/14 @ 1:20 pm #
[...] When the Reverend Wright tapes surfaced, Obama lied and said that he never heard those inflammatory remarks. When people questioned him, how he could attend a church and NEVER hear those kinds of remarks, he then came out and admitted that he heard a few of those controversial remarks. Then he gave his famous *race speech* and started a massive backtracking of how often he actually attended the church. But, as most of us knew, he used to claim that he attended Church every Sunday at 11am. And now, an old interview has revealed as much. “President-elect Barack Obama said in 2004 – while he was a state legislator running for a U.S. Senate seat – that he attended services at Trinity United Church of Christ every week.
