A TIme For Prayer

I read an article last night, several actually, about a little golden monkey god that Barack Obama carries with him for luck in his pocket. Here is an excert from one of the articles:



Hanuman temple Priests believe that ties between India and US would grow stronger under Obama's presidency and said the prayers had been organized to ask Lord Hanuman God for Obama's success in the elections. "Barack Obama is a great believer in Lord Hanuman. His victory will benefit India," Brij Mohan Bhama, another Hanuman temple priest said, adding that they will appeal to Indians in the US to support Obama in his endeavour. A diplomatic official at the US Embassy said the group organizing prayers for Obama had read a Time magazine report which mentioned that he carried a "monkey king good luck charm.""Senator Obama showed his good luck charms like a tiny Madonna in the photograph. But people in Delhi are impressed and rooting for Obama. "A person who believes in Lord Hanuman and has his blessings can cross the greatest hurdles in life with ease. I will pray for him," Arati Misra, a Hanuman devotee said.

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.

Remember these? The 1st and 2nd Commandments?



I do not hate Barack Obama. I am fearful of him. I am concerned for our country. His political views are not my major concern right now. This country has survived immoral politicians before and we can do it again. My concern is this great country that was founded as a "Nation Under God" has been delivered into the hands of someone that doesn't acknowledge our Lord. Will he be sworn in on the Bible? He has said not. Will he stand and salute our country and its flag on inauguration day? He has turned away during all times I have seen the pledge done in his presence. How can he lead our country to a better place if he leaves God behind in the process? Who will be his religous counsel? In the pasts presidents has relied on the likes of Billy Graham. Who will Obama choose?

The president-elect is constitutionally required to take the presidential oath as follows:

I do solemnly swear(or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God.

Will Obama recite this with all of his anti constitutional views?

J.F. Kennedy, who became the first Roman Catholic president, stated publicly that he would be loyal to the U.S. Constitution even if he had to go against a position that his church had taken. Will Obama make this same vow?

Folks all I am saying is that before all of the politcal this and thats that we go through with every election we at least have two candidates that openly love and support our country and what it was founded on. If Obama does not then why did he choose to be president? Why doesn't he go and be president of India if he wants to acknowledge their Humuman monkey god? All I can think of is that there is another reason he wants to have the power of the highest office and I will be praying for America...
