Governor May Have Her Own "Pastor Disaster" BARACK Obama isn't the only White House aspirant with pastor problems.
At the Wasilla Assembly of God Church, vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin's former pastor sees powerful signs that the end of the world is nigh.
Pastor Ed Kalnins cites conflict in the Middle East, the US's dependence on foreign oil and the depletion of energy reserves as evidence that "storm clouds are gathering".
At the church where Ms Palin now worships, the Wasilla Bible Church, she attended a service recently where a guest speaker, David Brickner, suggested terrorism in Israel was God's judgment on the Jews for failing to accept Christ as the Messiah.
The McCain campaign played down the sermon, saying Ms Palin "would not have been sitting in the pews of the church if those remarks were remotely typical".
