Allow me to give you a heads-up. Obama is a Democrat. You're not going to be pleased by him nor he does have to go out of his way to seek your approval.

You're right and I am already having a hard time keeping my mouth shut. I can see it all coming. His decision to bring Henry Rivera back to the FCC is a BIG hint that the "fairness doctrine" will be back with us by next summer. The left has all the network TV channels, and they cannot stand it that conservatives have the biggest voice on AM radio. This will be an over-reach but the damage will have been done. There is nothing fair about the fairness doctrine... nothing. Obviously liberal ideas don't compete well in the markerplace so since they are in power they want to force the issue.

I could be wrong but I don't think so. I'm still willing to give Obama the benefit of the doubt but I expect that he will be, in my opinion, a terrible president... only time will tell. I hope I am wrong...

Rcjames,

Re: His first actl the Choosing Rom Emmanuel as Chief

far left looney bin adminstration..

I was 'most' excited by this decision more than anything.
Since I moved here from Chicago just before Obama
moved there, I knew Rahm Emanuel was an Orthodox
Jew who attended the same synagogue as very good
friends of mine. His father was born in Jerusalem. So,
I thought that since he is to be Chief of Staff which 'often'
is in the best position to advise the president other than
a wife having his ear, he would definitely advise him for
the sake of Israel for the Lord's purposes and prophecy.
Never would he let up on that, Israel, I thought. God, His
Word and work is more important to me than ANYTHING!
Right or Left. Democrat or Republican. Even the USA or me!

Obama has earned some of what he's gotten... His slate isn't clean and it doesn't get wiped clean because his pay grade is going to take a leap upwards...

And as John said we have no obligation to step aside and sit quietly whle he pushes an agenda we oppose. Its not like the losing side of an election loses the privledge of dissent. Nevertheless if he does something I agree with or is worthy of acknowledgment I'll give him his props.

I am hurt that you would say that; there are many Demokrats that I would have great respect for in the Obama administration.

There is Representitive... ; well there is Senator..., well Govenor..., or maybe....; I guess you are correct FreddieD, there is not a good one in the bunch.

Thanks

I did not vote for McCain, at best I will say I voted against Obama. I really don't see things being any worse with Obama in office as opposed to McCain. I personally had no confidence in McCain.
You know this could be the best thing for Christians in America. I for one am not trusting/expecting the men in office to make any decisions that I would consider of a positive Christian nature. That will force me to pray more for my country and examine myself before God and look at where my faith and trust is truly grounded.
I have to admit that eight years ago when Bush came into office I thought a great victory had been won for Christians/conservatives. I invisioned our nation returning to God because out leader was supposidly a Christian conservative. I invisioned changes in the legal system for good, I knew for sure that in eight years many conservative federal judges would be appointed to office (and confirmed). On and on, in other words I was trusting in a man to change the country we live in.
The Bible teaches that God can change the hearts of kings. Obama is our 'king' for at least the next four years. I for one beleive that God can touch this man's heart. That is something I did not feel towards the other candidate at all. There were many pagan kings in scripture who were sensitive to God, even though they were not Christians themselves, they recognized there was something different about God's people and that made a difference in their decisions.

I bet he picked Emmanuel because his name. It kind of goes along with the general messiah theme of his administration.

Well here is my skinny on the deal;

The sun has came up three mornings in a row since Obama was elected; so the world is not coming to an end; not right now anyway.

I will wait and see what his first 100 days brings and then make my decision.

His first actl the Choosing Rom Emmanuel as Chief of Staff does not give me much hope in anything but a far left looney bin adminstration..

Rahm Emanuel is an orthodox Jew? Then why did he allow himself to use expletives against Republicans? Why doesn't he wear at least a, I can't spell it so I'll say, beanie? He doesn't wear a lot of black or have a beard. Are you sure he is orthodox? Anyway, I don't think a lot of American Jews care about Israel or they wouldn't always vote Democratic.

Re: Rahm Emanuel is an orthodox Jew?

I'm positive, according to sources, friends, that
you'll find via research that Emanuel is Orthodox
Jew and VERY pro-Israel. VERY!!!!!

I just remembered, that I know a multi-billionaire that
was very much in the media, and he attends synagogue
Stephen S Wise out here in California. I was invited there
a few years ago, and NOBODY, including the Rabbi, on that
occasion I spoke to about Jesus, wore what you mentioned.
I'm not sure if Jews have divisions similar to various Christian
denominations with different view about even apparel on some
occasions.

I believe you are referring to Hasidic Jews and the "Yarmulke" is the hat they wear.

If your issue is the Fairness Doctrine, Obama is your man. He opposes it. So stop spreading lies about Obama. Google is your friend.

Well, then you're at least a step ahead of many of the posters out here. It won't matter to a lot of them what he does, they will find something wrong with it somehow. Even if it's something that makes life better for them as well. I find that mind set really hard to comprehend, but there it is.

What of those who find no issue with the man? How many steps behind are they? What of those who find nothing wrong, no matter what he does?

May I suggest your local crisis pregnancy center (if there is one). It's something very practical to protest our President-elect's pro-abortion policies, and could directly influence life-saving decisions and help care for babies once born.

My husband and I haven't supported ours financially since we found them pandering to the local pro-abortion crowd. I think they've been taken over by new management, though... will have to find out where they stand now.

Prejudice. Exactly what we will be labeled as doing.

Our church supports a local Crisis Pregnancy Center. It councils mothers to other alternatives to abortion.

I don't know Obama. I don't think anyone really does. I could care less about his skin color. I care about how he leads this nation and the agendas he pushes. If he continually supports evil agandas I am afarid that will color my perception of the man.

We shall see.

our church operates it's own pregnancy crisis center, as one of the many ministries of the church. It's been in ONE location for many years. Just a month or so ago, we purchased a new custom-made motor home type of vehicle, which will visit up to 10 DIFFERENT sites throughout the community a week....

just an idea for those whose local 'crisis pregnancy center' is "pandering" to the wrong people. Your church can just start their own. AND, what a terrific ministry it is. So many have not only gotten assistance when needed during a very turbulent time in their life, but, have been led to Christ, as well.
