VIDEO: Tucson's Joe Medicine Crow Moment

After the 2009 Fort Hood shootings, the first public words out of Barack Obama's mouth included a 'shout out' to Joe Medicine Crow, an American Indian and heaped praise on the conference he was attending. He went on for more than two minutes before acknowledging the fallen at Fort Hood. At the Tucson memorial for the fallen in the Safeway massacre, the opening prayer was given by Native American Carlos Gonzales, whom I know nothing about but whose role in the memorial was grossly inappropriate.

Fast forward to the 4:55 mark to hear this guy talk about "Father Sky" and "Mother Earth." Then he proceeded to pray for all of the creatures of the earth, including the ones that "slither." On a side note, Obama quoted from the Book of Job. Perhaps he should have quoted Genesis 1:26:

26God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.

Now how about the faith of the six who were killed? As far as I can tell, not ONE of them shared this guy's faith. In fact, Federal Judge John Roll was a devout Catholic, Phyllis Schenck volunteered at her "church," and Dorwin Stoddard did construction work for his Church, the 'Church of Christ.' The other three people killed were nine year-old Christina Taylor Green, Gabe Zimmerman, and Dorothy Morris.

None of those sound like they're of American Indian descent.

SHOCKING VIDEO: CROWD PRAYS TO OBAMA

UPDATE at 9:42am CT on 9/30/09: Ok, after playing with the speed and pitch of the audio of these folks responding to the call for prayer, I am now convinced that Barack Obama's name was NOT being invoked and I think it would demonstrate a strong bias to believe otherwise. I regret posting this video on my site in the context of the original post. Even if there is a debate over what was said, the benefit of the doubt must be extended to those involved in this case, in my view. I have concluded that doing otherwise or saying that it's difficult to tell what the people were saying is nothing more than a face-saving measure and I will not go there.

UPDATE at 3:42pm CT on 9/29/09: There is now some debate about whether the crowd is saying, "GOD", "Obama", or a mix of both. In either case, it's at best hypocritical for a group of Community Organizers, including Acorn, to take taxpayer dollars and pray over a politically and ideologically divisive issue in a public place. Watch again and judge for yourselves.

Andrew Breitbart has just posted a video from December of 2008 at a Gamaliel Foundation meeting. The Gamaliel Foundation is a group that was started by a few of Alinsky's students. Also note the attire of the two individuals who are leading the prayers.

Be sure to listen for the following recitations being repeated:

"Hear our cry Obama" and "Deliver us Obama".



This makes the thrill running up Chris Matthews' leg look like a lone goose bump.

CLICK HERE and HERE to see how closely linked Obama is to the Gamaliel Foundation.
