I can't say I'm surprised to utter these words, as they are the only thing worse than saying "President-Elect John McCain", but I still wish this man were not going to be president in just a short couple of months.
Here are just a few of the reasons that I have serious reservations about Senator Obama as president, and it is by no means an all-inclusive list:
1.) His rise from the cesspool that is Chicago politics;
2.) The twenty plus years he spent in the church of "Pastor" Jeremiah "GD America, US of KKK A" Wright;
3.) His associations with the worst sorts of criminals and people in general (i.e. Weather Underground terrorists William Ayers and his wife (he launched his political careers in their home), Father Michael Pfleger, Louis Farrakhan, convicted felon and slumlord Tony Rezko (who cut Obama a sweetheart deal on his home and the land it is built on), communist Frank Marshall Davis (who Obama referred to as his "mentor"), and his support for current Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga (who lost the presidential race, but was appointed prime minister as a deal to stop the savage violence he unleashed as a result of his bogus claims that the election was stolen);
4.) His campaign's support for ACORN, the company currently accused of vote fraud in nearly every battleground state in America, to the tune of over $ 800,000.00;
5.) The fact that nearly every statement of his, including those of support for the people purportedly the closest to him, seems to come with an expiration date to be determined by political expediency;
6.) His promise to raise taxes on virtually every producing member of society, while at the same time giving welfare payments, er, I mean "tax cuts" to people who already pay no income tax at all; and, last, but certainly not least,
7.) As reported by Kenneth Timmerman of Newsmax and countless other reporters doing work the mainstream media didn't want to do, Barack Obama's presidential campaign was rife with fraudulent and illegal contributions, and worse yet, the same security systems in place to prevent such donations for the campaigns of John McCain and Hillary Clinton had to be INTENTIONALLY disabled by the Obama camp to allow these fraudulent contributions to occur. Silly old John and Hillary, playing by the rules with an "in your face", "elbow thrower" from the sewer of Chicago politics will get you beat every time.
Perhaps the most sad part of all this is that the list I just put together is all a result of thing that happened during the campaign...imagine what will happen during an Obama administration. This man will have to deal with a turbulent economy, a resurgence by China and Russia, an Iran speeding toward nuclear capability, and Islamic jihadists who want to kill us. Don't get me wrong...as my wife so kindly pointed out, it is my Christian duty to pray for this man I didn't vote to elect president because God is in charge of who gets lifted up and brought down, but it is also my American duty to oppose with every fiber of my being every policy and action that harms my family, makes America less safe, and/or runs afoul of the Constitution. I will do both with equal vigor. Finally, I will pray that America eventually wakes up and comes through the Hopey McChangitude era in one piece, and I will trust God with the outcome no matter what.
