Church's who do this would be inviting IRS scrutiny. If they do this, they better pray Obama wins.

I did view the YouTube (but not on the PrisonPlanet website). President Obama is 100% right in doing the video. His being President does show how far that African-Americans have come since the bigoted days of Selma and Little Rock. I only heard the word "church" mentioned once or twice. I did not hear "faith captain" but did hear "congregation captain" one time. Nothing wrong with that.
If you go to many non-denominational "Christian" churches, you will hear the minister telling you who to vote for - - and it is not for Obama.
Does RichieLion's statement about separation of church and state hold true for the opposite party? Or the Internal Revenue Service comment? Hmmm.
