A Southern California pastor with a national radio following says he's expecting to chat today with a White House representative over his comment last week in which the pastor described President Obama as a "dangerous" man.
Dr. David Jeremiah's remarks came during an interview last week with OneNewsNow about his new book, The Coming Economic Armageddon: What Bible Prophecy Warns about the New Global Economy. In that interview, Jeremiah was asked about the direction the country is going under Barack Obama's leadership.
"I do not believe he has been an asset to our country; I don't believe he's moved us forward in a good direction, and frankly, I am praying, along with many other believers, that in this mid-term election we will find a way to slow down this train that seems to be moving us toward Socialism and away from our historical moorings," Dr. Jeremiah explained. "I'm really frightened about that, and I think in that respect, I believe he's a dangerous person."
During an interview this morning on American Family Radio's Today's Issues, the pastor shared that shortly after the article appeared online, he started getting calls "from all over the country" asking if he had seen the article and if he had really said what was reported. He told AFR there was nothing wrong with the story -- but that the headline ('David Jeremiah: Obama A Dangerous Man') "got everybody's attention."
"In fact, it got me a call from the White House," he continued. "There's a guy in the White House named Joshua DuBois, who is the liaison for President Obama to the faith-based community. He called my office on Thursday, and I was in transit -- I couldn't talk with him. So I have an appointment to discuss this with him at 11:00 today."
According to Jeremiah, DuBois said in a follow-up email that he listens to the pastor's radio program, Turning Point, every day and is "anxious" to talk to him.
"I don't know where this is all going," stated Dr. Jeremiah. "In fact, I've had people ask me do I regret what I said, and I said no -- I didn't say that in a mean-spirited way. It was my opinion that that's where we're going. Nothing that I know of that's been brought to the fore has made me change my mind about that. I am very concerned about where this country is going."
And as for his concerns about Obama's economic policies since taking office, "Let's just confine it to the things that he himself has engineered, and don't say anything about anything else," he [Jeremiah] replied, "and that's enough to frighten anybody."
