1. Obama seems to be campaigning from the pulpit.

He was in a Vegas church Sunday, making a political speech. The church should be audited immediately, and made to pay taxes.

8. If it's in a church, I think they should have

found a more appropriate venue. Church and state, like you said.

7. Just about every Dem candidate has done appearances at predominantly-black churches

Including Clinton when he ran in '92 and '96, as well as Gore and kerry when they ran. This is nothing new.
