Speech @ Vermont Ave. Baptist Church
.
"The Challenge of a New Age"
.
.
Joshua generation with a Moses heritage?

Talk about phony bologna?

Not for nothing, but most of the president's speech sounded like a bunch of political rationale, buzzwords, and references to Dr. Martin Luther King.
Yet, (as the president said) on the SABBATH (The Sabbath is actually The 7th day of the week) , president Obama pitched a willing crowd with all his political agenda within 30 minutes. The president sure sounded like he was only talking to African-Americans; Yet, he took a walk down memory lane only mentioning the struggles of the folks in the audience, then attempted to vindicate himself when he stated that he was talking to all Americans.
What a technique?

There is nothing wrong with admitting the mistakes of the pasts (we can not deny them), but, when you're the president you can't side with just one group of people, one party, one cause, your wish list, etc. Presidents represent the whole populace; Not just your chosen crowd.
.
Secondly, the whole intent of this speech was mainly to promote health care overhaul, then Haiti rescue-reconstruction, LGBT rights, sacrifice, patience, and lastly, Martin Luther King; In that order.
,.
What amazes me is that churches that operate under a 501(c)3 arrangement with the federal government, are not allowed to "legally" preach political concepts like the ones that the president enumerated today on as he stated the SABBATH/Sunday (The 7th Day is the Sabbath).

In other words the president of the U.S. is above the law! What pastors can't do in their own churches, president Obama can willy-nilly.

I thank the Lord Almighty, the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, and His son Jesus The Christ for discernment. I pray that the Lord will continue to allow me to see things as they are, not as some will have me believe.

I remember Martin Luther King, he was a great man; But, president Obama does not represent any of the principles that Dr. King stood for, in my opinion. He is a son of a Kenyan, so they say. Pres. Obama is from Hawaii, his ancestors never boycotted any buses, lunch counters, or suffered violence in the segregated south. President Obama has benefited from the struggles of African-Americans, but, he is not one of them; He benefited from their sojourn in an inhospitable at times, nation. Dr. King wanted freedom for his people, a noble cause, and he was a man of God. What does the Black Liberation Movement have to do with Lesbians, Gays, Bi-sexuals, and Transsexuals? Our president is a lawyer with dubious (paradigm shifting) political aims, that quite frankly seem a bit rhetorical, and clearly dictatorial.

Transparency? Here we go again: What is is... Semantics 101
Back-room negotiations with Democrats in Congress and the Senate is transparent?

Sounds like blatant subversion of the democratic (representative) procedures of our American form of government. And all in the name of passing HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL for "the common good"?

I see a New Age, alright. But, it's not a welcomed one. It seems to be authoritarian by the way its proponents are forcing it upon all Americans, and the rest of the world.

Fasten your seat belts...
More rationale on the way.... More platitudes... More pontification...
More new morality...

May the real God help us all!
