Senator Barrack Obama
Author: Annonymous
The Obama Tidal Wave
We are witnessing a political phenomenon with Barack Obama of rare
magnitude. His speeches have inspired millions and yet most of his
followers have no idea of what he stands for except platitudes of
'Change' or that he says he will be a 'Uniter'. The power of
speech from a charismatic person truly can be a powerful thing.
Certainly Billy Graham had charisma and both his manner of speech and
particularly the content changed millions. On the extreme other hand,
the charisma of Adolph Hitler inspired millions and the results were
catastrophic. Barack Obama certainly is no Hitler or a Billy Graham,
but for many Americans out there feeling just like a surfer who might
be ecstatic and euphoric while riding a tidal wave, the real story is
what happens when it hits shore. Just Some of What Defines Barack
Obama: • He voted against banning partial birth abortion. • He
voted no on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state
abortions. • Supports affirmative action in Colleges and
Government. • In 2001 he questioned harsh penalties for drug
dealing. • Says he will deal with street level drug dealing as a
minimum wage affair. • Admitted marijuana and cocaine use in high
school and in college. • His religious convictions are very murky.
• He is willing to meet with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jung Il
and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. • Has said that one of his first goals
after being elected would be to have a conference with all Muslim
nations. • Opposed the Patriot Act. • First bill he signed that was
passed was campaign finance reform. • Voted No on prohibiting law
suits against gun manufacturers. • Supports universal health-care.
• Voted yes on providing habeas corpus for Guantanamo detainees. •
Supports granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. •
Supports extending welfare to illegal immigrants. • Voted NO to
making English the official language of the USA. • Voted yes on
comprehensive immigration reform. • Voted yes on allowing illegal
aliens to participate in Social Security. • Wants to make the
minimum wage a 'living wage'. • Voted with Democratic Party 96
percent of 251 votes. • Is a big believer in the separation of
church and state. • Opposed to any efforts to Privatize Social
Security and instead supports increasing the amount of tax paid. •
He voted No on repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax. • He voted No
on repealing the 'Death' Tax • He wants to raise the Capital Gains
Tax. • Has repeatedly said the surge in Iraq has not succeeded. •
He is ranked as the most liberal Senator in the Senate today and that
takes some doing. If your political choices are consistent
with Barack Obama's and you think that his positions will bring
America together or make it a better place, then you will probably
enjoy the ride and not forward this Email. If you are like most
Americans that after examining what he stands for, are truly not in
line with his record, it would be prudent to get off the wave or
better yet, never get on, before it comes on shore and undermines the
very foundations of this great Country. We have limited time to save
America or the Supreme Court as we know it. Inaction is action.. If
you agree this is important, please pass it on. The mainstream media
will not do it for you!?
Kenya
I received this today from Kisumu, Kenya.
My Dear Brother Quentin {Brother in Christ}
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!! You
certainly remain in my thoughts and prayers daily.
Yesterday, this is how things went out here:
Thanks for praying. I was caught up out of town, on
my way to town to get my kids via a roudy rough road
where fires were burning on the road. Prayers went
up, lots of fears and tensness. We are still waiting
for our political situation to sort itself out. We
will not give up on God to see this process through.
He is our only present hope.
Then got to a point where a giant stone was about to
be thrown on the vehicle where I was inside and
annoyed people about to set it on fire. Somehow, one
person stopped the whole crowd saying we better not be
harmed and they better not smash the car in which we
were traveling. The driver became numb. I waited
calmly, praying, smiling and waiting for the next life
or death moment.
Eventually got to reach the children, took them and
had to walk lots of miles to reach our home in a
nervous state all the way. We need God and prayers
more than ever. Please keep them coming.
I too continue to pray for all of you. Jesus is Lord
and remains in control. He holds the key to Peace for
Kenya. Amen.
With much blessings in Jesus name
(name with held)
