Some people are calling Obama the third anti-christ you know. But they havent' been any kinder to McCain either, and no one is certain of the people chosen for Vice President's either...I guess time will tell, but I do feel sorry for any poltician having to pick up the mess and aftermath of everything that has come before up to this election. I think our former President had good intentions, but what goes for the higher classes doesn't work for the lower classes, it was just to radical an thinking. Most of us aren't sure much about the days ahead right now, but those few courageous people that came in an stopped "Bush" might of saved our Social Security system, and I was reading int he paper the other night that there is an person over in England some high political official over there is calling on the carpet for his actions also right now. Our main worry now is that Obama doesn't become another "Pres. Kennedy" type figure to history and can overcome that fate. Bush's reign showed me the true side of the public thiese days, when they are happy with you, they applaud anything you do, even if it's not the best answer, they blindly follow, never question...but if they all get riled up at once, they don't want to have an thing to do with you, even though months ago they were your best supporters...such is the world these days...and where is the common sense, and the respect paid when it's due...few of us all make perfect choices. I didn't like his "thoughts...not him as an person perhaps...I just felt him "out of touch" at times with reality. I had read one time that "Bush" was at college for intitation there "Branded with an hot iron" having been from Texas, and he brushed it off lightly..because the people that did it to him were so important to his future, what kind of an father would allow this...this I wonder. Maybe I should say, what kind of college. I also read, that Lester Crowley, of the old templar Knight's was Barbara Bush's "true" father.This is just some of the stuff that I said floats around these days that you have no idea if it's the truth or not, I hope we can imporve on that somewhat in the years ahead, and get back to the truth and that which is decent again...without losing our freedom getting there. Our world needs stabailzed also...people are joking to make us the prime answer for everyone's woes in the world..it would be like putting all your eggs in one basket, and then it falls down for some reason, I think it goes for anyone that wants to make themselves the "all" in life, this postion is better handled by an "creator God" that goes beyond the church/religion. Even then we need to be careful and keep that person in "spirit" more then anything. The "spirit" of goodness, self-justice of one's own actions, and "love and compassion" toward others. . |

I'd love to say I predicted the outcome but you wouldn't wear that would you? I'd also like to claim it was the 'Power of POE' that got him elected! Well at least I can say it might have played a part, so c'mon lets hear it......'That's the power of POE' ......yeah!!! |

I am really tired today though, as I stayed up till 1:00am to hear our new president elect speak. Oh well, it was worth it. What an historical vote to be part of. |
