Really Sick Video: Community Organizers Pray to Obama

Topics: Political News and commentaries

As Ed Morrissey notes at Hot Air, this video involves the Gamaliel Foundation, a community-organizing group that acts as the ground troops for Barack Obama's domestic policies, especially health-care reform. Anyone who has spent any time in church will recognize the worship cadence of this clip, which puts Obama in the place of the Lord in prayer with cries of "Hear our cry, Obama," and "Deliver us, Obama," and even refers to Martin Luther King, Jr. as "The Prophet."

The event is the Gamaliel International Leadership Assembly, Washington, D.C., December 4, 2008. Red-hated, red-shirted, ACORN members are obvious in the audience. It's important to note that the Gamaliel Foundation is the community organizing group that helped sponsor Barack Obama's initial work in Chicago:

Ed goes on to make a couple of points:

[...] This video came from last December, not recently, which means that the lunacy preceded the current debate over ObamaCare. This was at the tail end of the Democrats' campaign attempt to cast their agenda in religious terms of social justice, although they have certainly picked up that effort again over the summer. If anything, it reminds people of just how bad Democrats and left-wing groups are at this kind of campaign. No one there seems to realize how shocking and sacrilegious this will sound to actual churchgoers, who will rightly recoil at the worship of Obama as an idol in place of the actual Deity.

I would add that the video goes beyond being just "shocking and sacrilegious," to the point of also being very, very sick. And what makes it even sicker is, as Ed notes, no one there seems to realize how shocking and sacrilegious this kind of "worship" really is.
