I Love Obama

Yep, you read right. I'm betting not a one of you would ever thought that you would see that coming from me. Are you confused? I guess I owe you an explanation.

First, President Obama is the President of our country. Therefore, he deserves my respect. My beliefs also lead me to believe that this man was put in power by God. So, I pray for this man each and every day. God has put him in a position of power for a reason. Who am I to question God? While I realize that there are folks out there who are known as "birthers," I am not among them. I have no interest in trying to prove something that will never happen. The government machine is too big and too powerful. There are way to many other issues in this country that could use that kind of energy and that you have a chance to make a difference with those issues. But I digress (love that commercial). God puts certain men in places of power for His own purposes. Who knows what that reason might be right now. We can speculate all day. Hitler? Yes, God put him in power. There are numerous examples of kings and rulers in the Bible that are evil, but used by God for His purposes.

Second, no one man could have done more to wake this country up than President Obama has succeeded in doing in the last year and a half. Too many people, myself included, have felt powerless for a long time. Suddenly, people have been awakened to what is going on in this country and the road we are headed down. Now, folks are getting together and remembering the power that we, the voters, have in this country. Had John McCain been elected, he would have continued us down the same road of "Progression" that George W. Bush was leading us down. The difference between the two is that President Obama put his foot on the accelerator. He's not stupid. The voters put him in power and gave his party complete power over the Congress as well. So, he did what any politician would do and took full advantage of the situation. He saw that he had 2 years to get all kinds of legislation pushed through. He is making huge strides in pushing this country in the direction that he and other Progressives want us to go. He is a hero to those who believe in his way of thinking. He has delivered on much of the change he promised. So, why are we angry with him? We should be angry with ourselves for letting this happen to our country. Obama didn't start this, but he would love to finish it. Those of us who feel this country should be going in a different direction fell asleep. We got lazy. Now, we are having a hard time figuring out where to start making changes. There are so many areas that need change. The Progressives have been changing things for nearly a century. We can't flip a switch and make it all go back to the way it was. (And I don't mean slavery, just FYI. Please don't accuse me of that crap.) So, folks who don't approve of what is going on in this country should direct their anger or other emotions towards themselves and get out there and do something to make your opinion matter.
