If the Black Community is a Community of God, why is it preparing to support the secular Democrats once again--and with so little internal debate? If the Black Community is proud of its great heritage, why is it rallying in support of a man who espouses so many issues of dubious morality? In Obama: Why Black America Should Have Doubts, William Owens cautions Black America to think about these and other important issues and to vote, not with the heart but with the head. This book is not so much anti-Obama as it is pro-Black and pro-American and pro-everything else that's good about this country.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very good book. Enlightenling,
This review is from: Obama: Why Black America Should Have Doubts (Paperback)
Disclaimer: I'm not a socialist and therefore have strong negative opinions regarding Mr Obama. That being said, I found this book to be very interesting. This book challenges the reader to do no less than what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr dreamed and look beyond the skin color of the candidate and evaluate their character. The author makes a strong argument that many of Mr Obama's expressed beliefs are incompatible with not only Black America but America at large.
My hat is off to the author, William Owens, Jr.

Insightful,
By Hunter7Taylor (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Obama: Why Black America Should Have Doubts (Paperback)
Mr. Owens spoke at an event held locally. Although I did not have the opportunity to hear his presentation in its entirety, I understood the gist and was intrigued by the title of the book.
I read the book and found it very insightful. The book challenges readers to perform a side-by-side comparison of their Christian values and the values that Barack Obama espouses. Those values that Obama touts are in direct opposition to the strengthening of not only the African-American family but to the American family in general ranging from school choice to taxes to self-discipline. Mr. Owens implores the readers not to leave their values outside the voting booth. Often, there is a comparison between Barack Obama and Dr. King. Before the lines are drawn, read Chapter 3: Dr. Martin Luther King & Barack Obama Side-by-Side. The chapter is very interesting and, again, forces readers to take an inventory of Dr. King's philosphies vs. Obama's. Purchase this book not only for yourself, but as a gift. The book is not only applicable to African-Americans but every American regardless if s/he is voting for Obama, McCain, or still undecided.

Obama is not King!,
By Dr B Leland Baker (Colorado Springs, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Obama: Why Black America Should Have Doubts (Paperback)
William Owens compares and contrasts the numerous differences between Barack Obama and Martin Luther King, and comes to the conclusion that true Christians should not vote based upon skin color, but should vote based upon alignment with one's beliefs.
Chapter One: Exactly What Does Barack Obama Believe? The author asks and answers whether Obama has a true connection with the Black Community ... and concludes that he is a panderer and pretender. Chapter Two: Preserving Our Foundation. Owens examines three key elements: (1) personal courage (to stand for truth), (2) unshakable faith in God (versus a false King), and (3) the ability to create and sustain a close knit family Chapter Three: Dr. Martin Luther King and Barack Obama side by side. Just because Obama is black he does not get a pass on abortion, gay marriage, higher taxes, dependence on and faith in Big Government. Chapter Four: Hope and Change - It's Already Ours! Owens implores Black America to seek truth, not color and to seek your own destiny, rather than waiting for "crumbs of bread" from the Government. "God has doors He will open for you that no man can close" (p. 88). Chapter Five: America from a Black Family's Perspective. Father, mother, son, and both daughters provide their perspectives. Chapter Six: The Protection of Human Freedom. Key focus upon the Bill of Rights. Chapter Seven: The Black American Pastor & Barack Obama. Encourages Pastors to judge Obama against Christian standards. This is a candid assessment of Barack Obama based upon his Christian beliefs. I believe that William Owens is the bravest man I have ever met, because he courageously published despite the fact that many in "Black America" will unjustly accost him. This is a terrific book for a Christian assessment of politicians in America. Tea Party Revival: The Conscience of a Conservative Reborn: The Tea Party Revolt Against Unconstrained Spending and Growth of the Federal Government
