Pray that Obama succeeds, that he listens to God and serves with integrity

Barack Obama is now the U.S. President and our first African American President. Record crowds of millions watched in the freezing cold at the history making inauguration. Millions more watched around the country and the world as we witnessed the transition of power.

While many are in ecstasy right now and in celebration mode, many more millions are not. Much of conservative media has its knickers in a twist and is writing, preaching and screaming against Obama, his vision and record! As a national talk radio host, who fought against Obama’s campaign and was most concerned about his extremely liberal voting record, associations and socialist vision for America, I certainly understand some depression with nearly half the country! I didn’t exactly have hands off with Obama during his campaign. I am the one who broke the William Ayers/Weather Underground story on my radio show and in print back on Good Friday, March 2008. A few headlines from media Icons I Hope He Fails, by Rush Limbaugh, January 19th 2009 and Pray Obama Fails, by Joseph Farah, January 19th 2009 Rush seems to be caught in his usual rhetoric that liberalism fails and since Obama represents liberalism, he wants him to fail for the sake of our country. Joseph Farah, in his recent article wants us to pray that Obama fails since he believes after quoting numerous scriptures about us praying for our leaders and God putting in leaders that the Bible doesn’t say to submit to tyrants or evil. He obviously believes Obama is evil. I understand we are in a worldview clash and Marxism creeps at the door but it is also wrong to assume the drift to globalism, socialism and immorality is laid only at Obama’s feet. I do believe the first 700,000 billion pushed through as bail out money was at the hands of Bush and his staff (Christian and Republican). Bush was the globalist pushing and supporting the North American Union, Super Highway and flimsy border support all these years. Remember, another globalist, Bush senior used to talk publicly about the “new world order.” McCain and Obama are also globalists who were backed by Soros and the Tri lateral commission. Do you see a theme? Immorality and the support of Abortion and other evils in our culture have been pushed for decades and are succeeding simply because Christians have been so apathetic, lazy and distracted rather than inspired motivated and focused! There is a dangerous theme and push toward Internationalism, new world order, new currency, socialism and world government and religion. This has been being pushed through several administrations! Markets have been and are being manipulated, thus pushing eventually to a new currency to solve the money problem. We may see an artificial, financial relief for a little while as bail out money is flying around but I predict we will see real declines by 2010. What is the proper attitude to have with this new President? It is time that Americans wake up, clarify their vision of America and communicate regularly with their Representatives, Senators and President. Read the constitution and bill of rights! Let us pray for the success of Obama and staff AND their protection in this dangerous world. Let us pray that Obama will grow closer to the Lord, grow in wisdom and courage and represent our country, as God would have him to. Let us wake up from our ‘audience like stupor’ and find our collective voice. Don’t let others do your job anymore. Be aware of state and federal issues. Know the bills coming up and communicate your thoughts regularly with President Obama and congress. Be aware and ready to fight in advance when bills come up that are dead wrong such as FOCA, Freedom of Choice act; pushing the Fairness Doctrine; or grabbing more bail out money and increasing taxes; Fight in an honorable and assertive way defending morality, freedom, capitalism and the heart of our constitution and bill of rights! Be ready, issue-by-issue.

Us conservatives and Republicans won’t win them all but working together, praying together and believing together might allow another group to win…… Americans. Pray Obama succeeds!
