Obama Attended Hate America Sermon UPDATED

UPDATE: via HOT AIR: Obama camp: No, Newsmax, he wasn’t there for the sermon on July 22; Update: Newsmax stands by its story, sort of

From Ronald Kessler of NewsMax:

Clarification: The Obama campaign has told members of the press that Senator Obama was not in church on the day cited, July 22, because he had a speech he gave in Miami at 1:30 PM. Our writer, Jim Davis, says he attended several services at Senator Obama's church during the month of July, including July 22. The church holds services three times every Sunday at 7:30 and 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Central time.

While both the early morning and evening service allowed Sen. Obama to attend the service and still give a speech in Miami, Mr. Davis stands by his story that during one of the services he attended during the month of July, Senator Obama was present and sat through the sermon given by Rev. Wright as described in the story. Mr. Davis said Secret Service were also present in the church during Senator Obama's attendance.

Mr. Davis' story was first published on Newsmax on August 9, 2007. Shortly before publication, Mr. Davis contacted the press office of Sen. Obama several times for comment about the Senator's attendance and Rev. Wright's comments during his sermon. The Senator's office declined to comment.

Obama claims he was completely unaware that the Reverend Wright’s trademark preaching style at the Trinity United Church of Christ targeted “white” America. (continue reading)

Obama is supposed to give a speech tomorrow, Tuesday, where he will answer some questions about his hate-filled church, pastor and congregation.

... Mr. Obama is trying not just to distance himself from the minister’s more provocative statements, but to keep his political opponents from defining him on their terms.

The flap has also raised questions about faith and patriotism. Mr. Obama - who has been criticized even for not wearing an American flag lapel pin - has rarely bid farewell to an audience on the campaign trail the way he did on Monday. “God bless you and God bless America!” he told the crowd in Monaca, Pennsylvania. (NYT)

But whether Obama was in church during one of these sermons or not, he HAD to know what this church believed.

You've linked to my blog before, so I thought I'd share an article that I wrote about Reverend Wright and Obama.

It's titled "Obama's Awesome God"

Both stories by Newsmax and the NYT have been corrected since there is strong evidence to suggest that Obama was in fact NOT at the sermon.
