Well, if T.D. Jakes likes him...

[GTaudiophile]

I truly abhor televangelists...save MAYBE for one...and that is T.D. Jakes. Sometimes while surfing the tube I come across his sermons, stop for a few minutes, and actually agree with what he has to say! In other words, he seems like he has a head on his shoulders, has principled ideas, and isn't grabbing for more money for his Jesus jet or something.

So, it's good to see at least one good pastor endorsing Obama.

Looks like a hustler, does he have a lear jet?

Has Obama accepted his endorsement?

Love TD Jakes but gotta say after reading that article, the only explanation he gives for endorsing is because he is black. Thats sad.

I'd figure he would stay the hell away given how much trouble religious figures has been given him these past few months.

You would do well to read the whole article

I congratulate not just Sen. Obama on his victory, but the country on this landmark event that has shattered a past all too often filled with reasons to separate us as opposed to a voice of reason to unite us. The victory cup does not rest on the shoulders of the senator alone, but to all those who have been able to lift the conversation from petty racism, antiquated cut-throat politics, and fear-based campaigns to the larger issues of how we would like to see our country led into the future and ultimately how our country will be remembered.

Than said I am not crazy about TD Jakes. He isn't a money-grubbing TV Evangelist though.

I did. You must have missed the rest of it.

Even if I did miss the rest of it, that one little bit makes your statement false. In case you forgot, let me quote your statement again:

I completely disagree. He says nothing about the issues.

It seems to be less of an endorsement, and more of a commentary on the progression of racial equality since the 60's.

Yeah, you are right.
