Newly Discovered: Community Organizers Appear to ‘Pray’ to President-Elect Obama

The Gamaliel National Clergy Caucus held "a New Orleans style funeral procession as they deliver a casket symbolizing the death of old ways of providing health care and pray for a new day for health care in America."

The Gamaliel Foundation is the community organizing group that helped sponsor Barack Obama's initial work in Chicago.

Editor's note: We've updated this post with the longer version of the original event. As you'll see in the comments and related links there is a debate over what is actually being said. Does the crowd say, "Hear our cry, Obama" and "Deliver us Obama?" Or are they saying "Oh God?" In the longer version the first two repetitions seem to have a distinct "uh" sound at the end that resonates as "Obama." The later repetitions are a little fuzzier. Did some of the religious leaders present become uneasy? Or was there a mix of what was being said? Read some of the blogger analysis below. What do you think?

Dateline: Washington, DC
Scooter   September 29th, 2009 - 10:25 am

Fine I’ll be the first to say it.

Antichrist anyone?

Just sayin.

Talen   September 29th, 2009 - 10:28 am

@Scooter, I was JUST thinking the same thing. Truly scary.

Now we know where the out of control ego and God complex comes from…

IdahoInNJ   September 29th, 2009 - 10:30 am

This is really disturbing. Pray for our country. Not to Obama

lavoce   September 29th, 2009 - 10:30 am

The ONLY BALM in GILEAD is JESUS, the CHRIST, the ONLY SON of THE ONLY LIVING GOD, who LIVED, was MURDERED on a CROSS, HUNG on GOLGATHA, BURIED, and ROSE FROM THE GRAVE. HIS IS THE ONLY NAME UNDER HEAVEN WHEREBY MEN (ALL MANKIND) MUST, AND CAN BE SAVED – BY THE GRACE OF THE ONLY LIVING GOD.

This is IGNORANCE… a lack of wisdom – knowledge and understanding.

Why doesn’t OBAMA put a STOP to it?

The Obamas, the Clintons, the Gores, the Carters – to name but a very few – have been, and still are, IN BED with Bernanke and the Federal Reserve (NOT Federal, NO reserves – just a group of private bankers led by Bernanke) who’s IN BED with Obama’s Czars and Militant Michelle’s Staff of Personal Assistants, who are IN BED with Axelrod, Rahm, Geithner/Kashkari, who’s IN BED with the Bilderberg Group, who’s IN BED with the Tri-Lateral Commission, who’s IN BED with the Council on Foreign Relations, who’s IN BED with… You figure it out from here.

Bottomline: They saw the U.S., our resources, our people, and our Treasury as a playground long, long ago.

The MAJORITY of AMERICANS were too honest, too full of hope, to conceive or believe such a subversive, evil, criminal agenda.

“FATHER GOD, help us. Please. Show us how to STOP our enemies – both within, and without, these United States. Give us the wisdom, courage, and strength, to do so in the right way – to cleanse our land of the blood-suckers, usurpers, the Neo-COM, Marxist, Socialist, and Islamic Radicalism Agendas… to cleanse our White House, Administration, Congress, State Governments, County and City Governments, and our Educational System of these evils. Protect our TROOPS, FATHER. Empower ISRAEL, and her valiant Leader Benjamin Netanyahu. Grant us a Leader – a Commander-in-Chief – who walks with a heart of integrity, and chooses righteousness and justice… a Leader who LOVES AMERICA, will FIGHT FOR HER, and will LEAD US CONSERVATIVELY BACK INTO PROSPERITY with which we can bless others – by choice… by our own choice. In JESUS’ Name. Amen”

Obama MUST denounce this IMMEDIATELY.

If he doesn’t then we should all know for certain what he thinks of (H vs h) himself.

Evil Conservative   September 29th, 2009 - 10:33 am

No. I don’t hear it. Sounds to me more like the familiar, “Deliver us, O God”, etc. Sounds like a possibly embarrassing stretch… is there any other confirmation?? Is this perhaps somebody seeding a BS story to be laughed at later?

So, is this the most blatant violation of ’separation of church and state’ ever?
Not only is Church linked to the State, the leader of the State IS the Church.

Some times I wonder how people can’t step back and look at themselves and see how cultish they are. Why would anyone put this much faith in any man, no matter what his political persuasion. They are giving up all their individual identity.

Lord Jesus Christ, deliver us from every evil. Deliver us from false prophets and false gods. Deliver us from the Antichrist, or prepare us for battle. Amen.

Before we go viral with this, are we sure they aren’t saying “Deliver us, O God”, but in poor unison, and with an echo? I’ve listened a couple of times, and I’m not quite convinced they are saying “Obama”. Is anybody else wondering the same thing?

acwilliams   September 29th, 2009 - 10:44 am

You have the right to the ‘PURSUIT’ of happiness, it’s NOT guaranteed. You can PURSUE happiness all you want! It’s up to you to create your own happiness and these people are confused thinking that the government can even GIVE them the happiness they want. Didn’t any of these people ever listen in school? Why are they trying so HARD to go back to England?? Do they want to be told here’s what you’re gonna have, here’s where you’re gonna live, what you’re gonna drive, what you’re gonna be paid. Do you really want that?? If you let them take over ONE thing, they’re going to just keep pushing. And to think they won’t is simply naive.

I don’t know why there are so many hateful comments here. Hate breeds hate, love breeds love. We pray to our saints in church for guidance, what is wrong with this? PRESIDENT Obama is a saint in our time. He has come to heal the sick, feed the poor, and bring peace to the world. What if God were one of us? Jesus said he would come again and people would doubt him. I see a lot of doubters here. He may not be Christ, but what if, just what if? Have faith? No one in our lifetimes has ever come to do so much for so many, all guided by love in his heart. Accept PRESIDENT Obama. Imagine what we could do if we all pooled our faith and had an attitude of love toward him, helping him achieve his goals. The world would live in peace and prosperity. He is the President of Peace.

WR   September 29th, 2009 - 10:46 am

I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.

Zebulon   September 29th, 2009 - 10:46 am

If not the AC, a definite precursor and false prophet for certain. Folks, if you are not on your knees at this very moment, praying to the true God of your salvation seeking strength, guidance, and forgiveness, I highly suggest you do so. The time of the Lord is surely at hand.

Craig Allen   September 29th, 2009 - 10:47 am

Obammy ain’t even in the running for this one…

Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Rev 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Be afraid – be very afraid. Our country has been besieged by cultists. Most of us can never understand such people. The ballot box has an insatiable appetite to be stuffed. The next two elections are our last hope for the U.S. If we lose then this type of mentality and their demented plans will take hold. The revelations of the past two weeks are mind numbing.
