as i see it...I'm not terribly "churchified", but I believe that God does sometimes take a moment or two to watch out for us in America, and I think that's a good thing. And I don't want to open the "Pandoras Box" of Church and State arguments, (which I will talk about on another Post) but there is evidence in History that such a thing happens. And we can find great examples in our choices for President. We do, very often, get the President we, as a country, need. Example: After the Horror and insecurity of WWII, we got the kindly looking, grandfatherly man, Mr. Eisenhower, who happened to be the American military leader who helped win the war. Then, after Grandfatherly Ike, we got the hot and sexy Jackie Kennedy, and her husband Jack. (Look out world, the young people are here, we out number you, we vote, and we have money.) For those of us who are old enough to remember the Watergate scandal of the "Tricky Dick" Nixon era (yes young people, they did call him that) we got a very nice, honest man named Ford to be our President. He was what we needed to regain a semblance of sanity after Mr. Nixon, the first man to be forced to resign the Presidency before being impeached, was driven from the Oval Office. At the height of the Cold War when, as it turns out, the Soviet Union (the Evil Empire) was teetering on the brink of economic ruin, we got Ronald Reagan to challenge them, and finally convince them that they had to change their entire economic system in order to compete with the West, and without a nuclear war. (Good job, Ronny) And now, after 250 years of our mixed history of black people and white people trying to find a way to get along together, we've elected Mr. Obama to lead us. Whatever your politics, from a historic view point,,He's Black..He's President..THAT'S HISTORIC!! And, it's about time. Now I'd like to see a woman elected. (Hilary, think it over!!)
BTW, Mr. Obama, I asked the students who have A's in my class if they wanted to give 30% (the Buffet Rule) of their point to those who don't have enough to pass, and they resoundingly said "NO". There may be a message there.
Anyway, here we are looking at the election of 2012. We have one man who wants to redistribute the wealth of the country from those who made it to those who didn't. We have one man who either doesn't care about the poor, or who cannot manage his mouth, and one man who, though he may be the most intelligent one of the bunch, cannot stay faithful to any of his wives, even the one with cancer. Yes, God Help Us,,,
