While America has some experience with the Clinton's and Hillary specifically during her turn as First Lady and then later as New York Senator , we do not seem to be that familiar with Barack Obama. As many are now considering where to line up their loyalties and hence ultimately their vote - I have been doing some research. People who are telling me that they are considering voting for Barack for President, say it is because they view him as a candidate who will make changes.
Are the changes that Barack wants to make in line with your ideas for this county and yes, even the way that you want to live your life? When questioned, Barack's supporters insist that he is a Christian. What does that mean? In looking into the doctrine of the church that Barack claims as his own, I see that there are some major issues that would lead me to question whether they adhere to Christian principles and serve Jesus as Lord and Savior. That is what Christians do. It isn't a term for good people or nice people or people who believe that there is a God. Nope!! It is used for the followers of Christ - period. People of whatever color who have placed their very lives and eternal future in Jesus' hands and follow Him as closely as they can.
While Obama has portrayed himself as a candidate for all Americans, his closeness to his minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, tells a different story. For more than two decades, Wright has been Obama’s friend and sounding board, a man he consults before making important decisions like whether to run for president.
In December, Wright praised Louis Farrakhan as a man who epitomizes greatness. Farrakhan has blamed blacks’ troubles on Jews, America, and whites, whom he calls “blue-eyed devils.”
Obama’s Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago espouses what it calls the Black Value System. While the Black Value System encourages commitment to God, education, and self-discipline, it refers to “our racist competitive society” and includes the disavowal of the pursuit of “middle-classness” and a pledge of allegiance to “all black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System.”
The Black Value System defines “middle-classness” as a way for American society to “snare” blacks rather than “killing them off directly” or “placing them in concentration camps,” just as the country structures “an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons.”
Do we want a white President who puts down blacks or other ethnic groups and maintains that the White man is supreme? Do we want a black President who maintains that the black people are?
Beyond these troubling thoughts are those in which he wants immediate withdrawal from Iraq, leaving them ripe for the picking by the terrorist groups that maintain strength in the region. Just like children need some hand holding and training before they launch out independently , so do these people. This independence and self governing stuff is new to them. They need mentoring, protection, training of their forces - you know the attacks will come. We need to help them to be ready.
