. The old commercial lingo comes to mind. It was the one put out by Virginia Slims Cigarettes, “We’ve come a long way, baby!” We have come a long way in our checkered history to witness an African American becoming leader of our country and in taking the reins of what many call the most powerful job in the world. Is this a great country, or what? While there’s very little of Mr. Obama’s platform that I agree with or support, I join the millions of Americans who wish him God’s speed and blessing as our elected leader. He has much on his plate, perhaps more than any other in recent history. The expectations are high. His many special interest supporters are already lined up for repayment. The economy is no longer in crisis, it is now barely breathing on life support. The world is in chaos. He takes office at a time when America is divided and fractured. Mr. President, “Welcome to your first day of your brand new job!”You have probably seen the transition photos of a variety of presidents marking how they looke
d when they took their first oath of office versus how they looked when they said farewell. It does take its toll on those who occupy that treasured oval office and do their best to protect America from the many threats that operate on a 24-hour basis. President Obama comes in at a time when he is thought to be a white knight coming to save the day. President Bush has helped fuel these sky-high expectations by being so unpopular. The elite have their man. He is cut from the cloth of liberalism’s finest suit. However, while they party in the shadow of Lincoln’s statue, there remains the deeds to be done before anyone can build one to sit beside one of our greatest presidents. They have it already measured but history will determine whether it is deserved or not.I read some of the parting shots written by the most ardent of the Bush hater’s society. They have never been able to get past their rage to even find a hint of decency in the man himself. Blinded by their personal hatred they have fueled this ‘Messiah’ complex that surrounds our new president. In trashing Bush the man they have used the heaps of hate to bui
ld up their new man. He comes in on a wave of expectations higher than a tsunami, which he continues to try and lower each time he speaks. His opinion of President Bush has already shown a change. He recently said he believed President Bush was a good man who had been wrong in many of his decisions. That’s a far cry from the bumbling buffoon caricature portrayed by him and those platinum card-carrying mainstream media elites during the election. They have had their way. We now will seek God and His help as this man does his best to chart a new direction for our nation. May God bless him, his family, and may God bless America! Amen. …..More later.
