My prayers to the LORD involve the sparing of America from the policies of Barack Obama, and national forgiveness for the foolishness of those who voted for him because they thought he was "cool", or simply because of the color of his skin while ignoring his intentions.
I see people abandoning his policies, not shunning his color. It's why I'm proud to be a conservative - fulfilling Dr. Martin Luther King's dream of judging someone solely on the content of their character.
Although Obama certainly has the capability to be divisive, I also trust in the LORD that he can use this for the purpose of racial harmony, that we all would learn that how someone looks is not as important as how someone conducts themselves.
May this be true in your situation, FRiend.
Obama has done lasting damage to this country through his destructive policies, and he's established himself as an extreme radical, who's more in tune with Karl Marx and Stalin, than he is with Washington, Jefferson, and Reagan (or even Clinton, for that matter).
American Presidents leave much more than a record of governance behind when they're gone. They leave lasting, and very real impacts upon the direction and health of the nation and its people.
It will be impossible to ignore the after-effects of Obama's presidency, and very hard for many people to differentiate those ill effects from his image. He has become the face of everything that Americans reject about the entitlement class of minorities.
Americans had largely grown out of, or matured beyond the point of identity politics, and had risen above the prejudices of yesteryear, but racist opportunists like Obama and other race hustlers wouldn't let it die. Oh no. "The struggle" could not be allowed to die before they could profit from using the majority population's natural impulses of regret and shame against them.
Obama was elected by the American people as a final act of atonement for the sins of past generations against black Americans. That he has gone on to prove himself to be anything but "post racial", but instead, the exact opposite, is doing more to re-ignite the old divisions, prejudices, and grievances, than anyone could have imagined.
Elections have consequences. The legacy that Obama leaves for men that fit his general profile, and for black men in general, is just a small part of the overall damage that will need to be undone in the years to come.
