Obama's anti-gay gospel singer

Obama started a little gospel tour in South Carolina to buy votes from "black evangelicals." It turns out one of the many singers that are joining him *gasp* doesn't like gay people.

Mr. McClurkin, a black preacher who sang at the Republican National Convention in 2004, has gained notoriety for his view that homosexuality is a choice and can be “cured” through prayer, a view ridiculed by gay people.

Critics on the Internet say Mr. Obama is trying to appeal to conservative blacks at the expense of gay people. Surveys have found that blacks are less supportive than whites are of legalizing gay relationships.

Imagine that. A black preacher that doesn't like gay people. So naturally, Obama is the one to blame for the preacher's opinion.

Also, I like that last line about "surveys have found blacks are less supportive..." What surveys? That's just as bad as a line, "One guy said he didn't like what another guy said." At least have something about where one of these surveys came from...
