Paper Says Obama's Church Indirectly Endorsed Him In Sermons

A front-page article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal suggests that ministers at Barack Obama's Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago have indirectly endorsed Obama's candidacy in violation of IRS rules for non-profit organizations. The paper says: "A review by The Wall Street Journal of 13 sermons at Trinity seen live or through church-recorded DVDs since late December found nine instances of ministers at Trinity appearing to promote Sen. Obama's candidacy.... Some of the sermons mentioned Sen. Clinton or her husband in unflattering ways.... In some instances, the church's ministers alluded to Sen. Obama without naming him."
