President Obama
It is right and fitting that Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election. George W. Bush is the worst president we ever had, and he must be held responsible for bringing the country to ruin. He was aided and abetted all the way by the US Congress. It is now up to President Obama to return this country to living out the high ideals that made us the greatest country in our imperfect world. It is possible; it is on the outer edge of the art of the possible. I’m not optimistic that Obama can do it. If he can keep what is developing into a severe recession from plunging into a depression, he will have merited the building of a monument to commemorate his name and the people who helped him restore America as the world’s champion of freedom and democracy.
The rot set in with Jack Kennedy. He had the promise, he had the possibility, but he let it get away. Camelot was BS. Then Lyndon Johnson snatched the promise of civil rights out of the thin air Martin Luther King created and shoved it down the nation’s throat – Lincoln smiled and danced a back woods jig. But then Vietnam consumed him and the rest of the country for 10 years. Other than Roland Regan having the good sense not to start another war, we have been going down hill and accelerating. It’s not a case of a few bad apples; the whole bushel basket is rotten. We are almost broke. If we do go off the edge into depression, keep in mind the ignorant and dirt poor folks of the 1930’s are not the same crowd who is around today. Today’s society is quite capable of anarchy.
Obama’s first and most important task will be to contain the recession. Congress will have to go along, as what they have provided for the past 20-30 years has failed. They sold out to K-street quite some time ago. But notice what Obama begins to surround himself for advice; the same folks that created the mess to start with. They are mixing the Kool Aid and cranking up the printing presses – why, because they don’t know what else to do. Do you think Washington ever thought it would come down to Valley Forge, or Lincoln thought the bombardment at Fort Sumter would lead to Antietam and Gettysburg - I don’t think so? Maybe Obama should go into the desert to fast and pray until Jan 20 with the hope God will give him a sign or send him a prophet. Surely I jest. Let me assure you I do not jest. Better to have Obama clear of mind and clean of heart to deal with this great national crisis then full of the snakes and spiders of the past. Go to the Sermon on the Mount. All the elements of the test are there. The keys of the kingdom are laid bare. In the next few years you will stumble across one of these keys. Make no mistake, that stumble for you has been no mistake; it has been waiting for you since the beginning of history. Seize it immediately and march into your grave with it fastened to you forever. What does all that have to do with Obama and the mounting great national crisis? Pray God sends Obama men and women who have one of the keys to help him speak truth to power.
