However, today we address the criticisms so often hurled against Obama supporters by those who oppose the Administration. These oft-repeated barbs include “kool-aid drinkers” “sheep” and, the most frequent, which says supporters believe Obama is the second coming! The venom espoused by some of the President’s critics leads one to think if he did walk on water they would complain about his shoes!
As a person of faith, I can assure you that true believers KNOW who their Savior is, and it is not a mortal man. What Obama does offer is a return to the hope for a better tomorrow, and a unity in purpose, that has been the cornerstone of
George Washington – “The name of AMERICAN, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations.”
Abraham Lincoln – “Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt – “We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.”
Harry S. Truman – “
John F. Kennedy – “The American, by nature, is optimistic. He is experimental, an inventor and a builder who builds best when called upon to build greatly.”
Ronald Reagan – “There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.”
William J. Clinton – “Big things are expected of us, and nothing big ever came of being small.”
Barack Obama –“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”
One hundred days of HOPE -- patriotism at home, respect from abroad, intelligence and truth in action, ambition and forward movement to meet our challenges…not a bad start for a mere man.
