Candidates Scramble to Hammer ‘Elitist’ Obama

Who is Obama? I’m not sure even he knows. And I am sorry for him.

I think he’s a lost soul – one who didn’t get the nurturing he needed in his early years; if ever. And this has skewed his judgment and led to his making some very poor choices throughout his life.

He is not the man who should be leading our country. Not now, or perhaps ever.

I wish he’d remove himself from the campaign. Go home, and with his wife and children begin to consider just how fortunate they are to live in this wonderful country. To learn to be grateful. To see the good in who we are as a nation and people. And that instead of trying to change us, be reminded of our noble founding. And how we need to stay true to that.

And then I wish he’d go to his church. I wish he’d stand up and tell the congregation that it’s wrong what they’ve been taught. That together they have to get beyond the pain of the past. To put their faith in God to change their hearts. That just as God has forgiven us our sins, we’re to also forgive those who’ve sinned against us.

If Obama were to return to political life after doing those things, I believe we’d see a different Michelle. A different Barack. And a different congregation at Trinity United Church of Christ.

Mr. Obama would have something concrete he could show us that would prove his worthiness to lead. He wouldn’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing. He’d have a different political agenda, I’m sure.

And he’d probably get my vote.
