The Prayer the Obama People Didn't Want You To See On TV

Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama

Here's video of the prayer openly gay Bishop Gene Robinson delivered at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday as part of President-elect Barrack Obama's inauguration kick off event.

As we mentioned earlier, Obama's people told HBO not to include Bishop Robinison in the worldwide broadcast.

Boo!

      I have an idea… STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW. Lindsay, Paris, Britney, etc.. stay out of politics because you have no idea what you're talking about and until you understand that there are much more important issues than gay rights, don't even try.
      I can understand why they cut this out. It's boring (the guy is probably the worst public speaker I've ever heard), and it's sad. Are you listening to what he's saying or does that not matter because he's gay? He's there to welcome the new president, not talk about how many people are dying and how fucked up the world is.

      Re: charmoll – I'm pretty sure mccain wouldn't act any differently. If not, he'd act worse. His own vice president spent millions on a fucking wardrobe. They have like a ton of houses around the country. You think Mccain and his people know and care what its like to be middle class?

      Re: hotttryder – maybe you should take your head out of your ass. The guy said bless this nation with anger against discrimination. dumbass.

      Perez, you're an ass-hat who can't even spell the name of the President-Elect properly. It's BARACK Obama, you horses ass.

      Stop being so freaking two faced, Perez. You're not doing your site any favours, it's been quite apparent for a while now that you are losing readers. One day you support Obama, the next you diss him. And for fuck sake, get your facts straight once in a while. CHECK before you post something, it only takes a second!!



    7. 107

      are we surprised? everyone knows obama is not for gay marriage. he wont change on that no matter who is writing his speeches.



    8. 108

      Damn, Perez. I'm a huge fan but you are seeming extra bitchy today. Got your period?



    9. 109

      Good for Obama. Finally a President who actually ACKNOWLEDGES US!!!



    10. 110

      maybe it was for editing puproses

      to ensure popular artists like your precious obese beyonce got seen



    11. 111

      What a crock……. Does this guy think that God doesnt know that people are dying in the world? Bless this nation with anger???? You PRAY to have God's anger turn from the people….. Bless us with discomfort? Who is this guy? He is a moron.



    12. 112

      I have to hear more about this story other then on your website Perez…to find out if it is in fact true. If this did happen, I wonder why the decision was made to leave him out of the broadcast on HBO…it's disappointing if it is in fact because he is a gay minister. I'll hold my judgement until I read or hear it from a more trustworthy source other then your website.



    13. 113

      You are such a worthless piece of shit Perez. You tired hating act fits your nasty personality and look. Maybe you didn't notice the gay men's choir that was a major part of the program. I can't wait for your 15 minutes to be up.



    14. 114

      And for the people bitching about the cost of the Inauguration, that isn't tax money being spent it is from donations from people like me. If I didnt sent it to him I sure as fuck wouldn't have given it to your lazy ass.



    15. 115

      Dear Milky,
      I would like to take advantage and commemorate this important day and time in world history, to extend the olive branch and put our fighting behind us. I am true to those I love and it is evident those who love you are true as well. You and I have already started to build this bridge and I hope our foundation will be strong.
      Peace be with you.
      Sincerely, Sweetpiece.

      Harry, you are a dear.



    19. 119

      Good lawd! I mean, I'm a bitter, cynical queen… but wtf is up with Bishop Debbie Downer? I thought the big point of being xtian was hope through the Resurrection and stuff. This bitch just sounds angry and tired. I can do that and still get to sleep in on Sunday. Even though alot of what he said was true, it was just not the time or place. Somebody get this man some ass!



    20. 120

      Did you all miss the HUGE gay choir, all wearing red ribbons? They were wonderful and couldn't have been more center stage. Mellow, people.

    27. 127

      You mean Obama didnt want this aired??? Mr Savior of the world. Like I have always known, Obama is a fraud and a joke. Why people think he is so damn great is beyond me. What the fuck has he ever done?



    28. 128

      OH GET THE FUCK OVER YOURSELVES. I BET THE ONLY REASON YOU LIKED OBAMA IS BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT HE'D TAKE A STAND FOR YOUR GAYNESS WHICH IS COOL BUT THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT, YES MOOORE IMMPOORRTTANNNT THINGS! fag



    29. 129

      Seriously, who gives a shit about a stupid fucking prayer?



    30. 130

      as a gay i really was excited…but it wasnt very good. why did he have to try so hard to make a point? all he needed to do was say something simple yet poignant.



    31. 131

      I'M GONNA RESERVE JUDGEMENT ON BARACK UNTIL HE'S AT LEAST BEEN IN OFFICE FOR AWHILE. WE CAN'T EXPECT HIM TO FIX EVERYTHING ON THE FIRST DAY! THIS SCHEDULING THING MIGHT NOT HAVE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH OBAMA. IT MAY HAVE BEEN HBO…A TIME LIMITATION PROBLEM….ALL I KNOW IS I'M NOT READY TO CONDEMN OBAMA BEFORE THE MAN HAS EVEN PUT HIS HAND ON THE BIBLE TO TAKE THE OATH!!
      .
      .
      AFTER……BUSH LABELED HIMSELF AS A "COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATIVE" AND WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT TURNED OUT!



    32. 132

      Actually the sound wasn't working on two of the speakers and the crowd was chanting WE CAN'T HEAR AND SPEAKER. Chanting wouldn't sound very nice on television now would it?



    33. 133

      Re: harrybalsac – harry says welcome back SP!:)

      Re: LG!!!COLON!!! SIMPLY YOURS! – HOLLER! A FIRST LADY WHO NEVER KILLED SOMEBODY!! ARE WE TALKING ABOUT LAURA BUSH WHO RAN OVER A GUY IN HIGH SCHOOL OR HILLARY CLINTON HAVING THAT GUY SHOT DOWN AND HAVING IT RULED A SUICIDE?
      .
      .
      I WANT ALL MY LITTLE LAMBS TO KNOW THAT KILLING PEOPLE IS NOT COOL!! SO BE COOL AND DON'T KILL PEOPLE OK? EVEN IF THEY PISS YOU OFF!!
      .
      .
      TRASHING SOMEONE AT A COCKTAIL PARTY AND CAUSING A SCENE IS ONE THING. BUT KILLING SOMEONE IS NOT COOL!!
      .
      .
      I HOPE HILLARY REMEMBERS THAT IN HER NEW POSITION AND I HOPE SOMEONE TAKES LAURA'S CAR KEYS AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

    36. 136

      Perez, you are the reason gays will continue to be denied equal rights. you whine, distort the truth, and turn people away that could help the LGBT cause.

      Anyway, that didn't sound like a prayer. It sounded like a grocery list of political statements underlying the gay agenda. Who cares about these religious pot shots anyway. This is an inauguration, not church.

    37. Laury says – reply to this


      137

      Perez, you obviously don't read your readers comments, or maybe you do but you don't take them into account because you're incredibly stubborn. I never thought you could be such a hypocrite. Everyone keeps telling you that there are much more important issues than gay rights (I mean, come on, apart from getting married in California, there isn't much you people aren't allowed to do). The economy is in the shitter, there are two wars going on, people are dying, losing their jobs, their home, etc. and just because Obama doesn't give the gays everything they want and instead focuses on REAL issues, you hate him now??? Wow. Just wow. Your picture should be next to the definition of "self-centered" in the dictionary.



    38. 138

      Ummmm guys? It's actually totally understandable that they took this out of the main broadcast. First and foremost, as far as prayer goes that one was mighty awesome. That Priest was saying exactly what needs to happen, ESP regarding the whole messiah thing we've forced on our dear Barrack.
      HowEV's, the states is majorly EVANGELICAL, the one's that voted Bush! But there are a small sect who reluctantly let Obama in over McCain. BO (heh) is on thin ice now, there are a lot of people out there who want him dead… and for those people to hear the incredibly liberal priest blessing Obama would have FLIPPED. So calm down.

      GOSH.

      Re: VicBur – No, just you, you moron!

      Re: P.S. Pufnstuf – You're a moron.



    41. 141

      If Obama hadn't picked Nazi Warren, none of this would have happened.

      Obama is mixing government and religion.

      Haven't we learned anything in the last 8 years.

      Warren is working to get rid of gays, the same way Hitler did. Warren deserves his head chopped off.



    42. 142

      Re: CandyApple –

      In 1996, Obama came forward saying that he was for Gays getting married, and would do everything in his power to smack down any law that prohibited it. This is all a charade.



    43. 143

      I thought that was a very kind and sweet speech.



    44. 144

      Holy Crap!! That's an effed up prayer!



    45. 145

      Perez, dont be so hard on him. We have to take baby steps first. Hes going to do alot of good things for the gay community. He may not know anything about them cutting this speech. Give him time. Its certainly better than having a Republican in office because if that happened, ALL HOPE would be lost. They couldnt show EVERYONES speech. He was invited. Thats a big step.



    46. 146

      Oh please people…can the nation get in any worse shape than it already is?? Give the man a damn chance. He's not even sworn in it…besides do you think you could do better with all this backstabbing and gossip you're creating?



    47. 147

      "Obama's people"? Obama is the boss of bosses, he tells them what to do…blame Obama. WHAT IS TRULY OFFENSIVE IS THE 150 MILLION DOLLAR PRICE TAG ON THIS SHINDIG. NOW THAT'S SOMETHING TO BE DISAPOINTED ABOUT. BARAK HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A STATMENT AND START WITH HIMSELF ON THIS OBNOXIOUS SPENDING AND HE TAKES A PASS, IN THIS ECONOMY? F-

      Re: itsmissbitch2u – MOST COUNTRIES REQUIRE MANDATORY 2 YR MILITARY SERVICE BY AGE OF 25. TURKEY REQUIRES IT BY AGE OF 40 OR GIVE UP YOUR CITIZENSHIP. IF YOUR GOING TO LIVE HERE AND ENJOY THE FREEDOM ENFORCED BY OUR FORFATHERS AND MILITARY YOU BETTER BE PREPARED TO SERVE YOUR COUNTRY THEN.



    49. 149

      That was a beautiful Prayer… I don't understand why HBO or Obama's camp would alter his appearance??? Were his truthful words of wisdom too much information for the masses to hear??? Human not Messiah?1?!



    50. 150

      Okay Perez, when are you going to post the truth on this?
      HBO has admitted that THEY made a mistake, due to what they now refer to as an "error." They will now show this speech when they re-air the program. It isn't that hard to check the facts, or at least post the truth when further details are put out.



    51. 151

      PEREZ you are going to have to GET OVER IT! Barak Obama is a PRAYING MAN. Just because he accepts you, and may give you CIVIL RIGHTS as civil ceremonies with benefits for gays…doesn't change Christian Fundamental values even as a Democrat! The Bible is the Bible bb and you can't change that or what Christians believe in. Hate the Sin, love the sinner.
      He accepts you but does not believe in changing marriage that is a religious HOLY sacrament. Change the state constititution because you can't change the churches and demand them to marry gays.



    52. 152

      This guy was not praying!!! The dude was lecturing. What the heck??? Idiot. Great choice, Obama!



    53. 153

      AN OFFICIAL BOYCOTT OF HBO . CONTACT HBO .COM AND TELL THEM TO F38CK OFF…….



    54. 154

      The Bible teaches that if you don't say a prayer in Jesus' name the prayer will fall upon deaf ears. This tool said he wouldn't pray in Jesus' name. I love how a man is willing to turn his back on the principles and tenets of his faith in the name of political correctness and promotion of what the sinful self and the world wants;perhaps this apostate never really cared or even knew what the tenets were from the get go.



    55. 155

      *********************************************************
      Just admit it Piggy… the real reason behind this is that after all your attempts to get an invitation to Obama's ceremony you where snubbed… yeah totally snubbed from the event… after all you did for him and after even acting in a publicised tv spot you where NOT INVITED to the event!!! LOL I can only laugh my ass off at you Piggy… you are a big loser!!! You even dared to write him a letter demanding him to change his believes and his mind on gay people…
      You where USED, USED, USED by Obama to get to "your people" lol… you are Obama's clown and our joke… I can't even feel sorry for you… I can't stop laughing…
      *********************************************************

      Stop being so freaking two faced, Perez. You're not doing your site any favours, it's been quite apparent for a while now that you are losing readers. One day you support Obama, the next you diss him.
      Re: JoeyW –

      To be fair, Perez has a right to his opinion no matter how twisted it is. I'd be more worried about Perez NOT questioning his government. I hate an unequivocal Kool Aid drinker which is what most people are when it comes to Obama.

      Jesus, please let this day and the next 4 years be over quickly. We pray that the new prez doesn't fuck up too many things and returns to Illinois to be a talk show host. Preferably in place of Oprah. He's gotta use his charm somewhere! We pray that the media and the lunatic fringe of this country shut up and get out of the way of the honest, hardworking, personal responsible, believers in higher powers who want to make the world better for their families. And we pray that the Obama daughters growing up looking hot so Perez has paaaaaarty pics to post in the years ahead. Amen.

      Re: saywhat – Well come on then…answer my question if you are so wise. Calling me a moron and running away is the sign of a true coward.



    62. 162

      I am Gay & I am Embarrassed - That Prayer is NOT Impressive!!

      We are Given a Great Opportunity & We Do NOT Meet The Challenge!

      Now You want to Complain at it being Left out of the televised part of that ceremony?? Get Serious!!



    63. 163

      HONESTLY I HAVE NOTHING PERSONAL AGAINST THE GAYS (MY BESTFRIEND IS GAY AND I LOVE HIM JUST THE SAME) BUT IM REALLY GETTING ANNOYED WITH THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS THINK EVERYTHING MUST CATER TO YOU I MEAN IN ALMOST ALL RELIGIONS IN THE WORLD HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG (BTW A GAY PASTOR IS AN OXYMORON) SO THAT BEING SAID FOR THE MOST PART YOU ALL ARE ACCEPTED WHY DO U FEEL YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE RULES OF A RELIGION THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR CENTURIES??? CAN TWO MEN OR TWO WOMEN PROCREATE? NO! SO THIS MEANS ITS NOT THE NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS SO ACCEPT THAT YOUR DIFFERENT AND NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO ACCEPT IT AND THEY DONT HAVE TO EITHER BEING GAY AND SEXIN BOTTOM IT YOUR DECISION PLEASE DONT TRY TO BRING DOWN THE REST OF THE WORLD WITH YOU AND ACT LIKE WHAT YOU ARE IS ONLY NATURAL AND SOMETHING RELIGIOUS PEOPLE SHOULD BE EXCITED ABOUT



    64. 164

      GOD. They left it out. So what…boo hoo. Probably because the Christians would have bitched about the openly gay bishop in the first place. And newsflash, THEY STILL BITCHED because of the "non-believer" part of Obama's speech. The man can't win for trying, can he?
