The "New" Barack Obama

Well, I see it. Do you???

As I have posted before, up until now, Barack Obama has been given a complete pass about his religion and his pastor's behavior. For the most part anyway, compared to that of Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. The fact that Mitt Romney was a Mormon was a big issue to many people. Does this hinder his ability to lead the country?

Mike Huckabee was labeled immediately as soon as he promoted "sanctity of life." And this is wrong exactly how?

Obama has led his charismatic speeches, impressing people along the way with his easy way of "playing the game." He's promised to change America. But when I hear local radio talk show hosts asking callers who believe his message exactly how he's going to change the country and on what specific issues there is complete silence. They can't do it. Because they've been mesmerized by this whole "idea" of Barack Obama. It's like "let's all drink the Obama kool aid and get on board."

Barack Obama has not really outlined any plans on how he plans to change America. He wrote "The Audacity of Hope." So what.

This bothers me tremendously as an American voter. Exactly what am I voting on? An idea? A dream of something? Dreams don't keep terrorists out of our country. Ideas not put into action do nothing to increase our security and economy. Only firm plans and decisions do. Barack Obama to me is just the "pie in the sky" candidate with no plans but to assimilate into power. There's no telling what he could do with that power when he has no plans, and nothing except his speeches to bail him out. There's only so far that will go.

And now with his religious leader's comments all over the news, it's very chilling to see who he associates with in his spiritual life. I don't want a president that has dabbled in a bunch of other religions before deciding on Christianity, a form of Christianity that pushes racism, bigotry, and American hating ideology. I remember when he first started his campaign, when he met with those that would construct his rise to power, in secret, away from the media. I'm beginning to put the pieces together as to what might have happened and why the media wasn't allowed in there. It's a very scary thing and we should really all wake up.

There's a clear violation in the tax code that a preacher is not supposed to use the pulpit to promote politics. I've seen it violated in conservative churches, and the government gavel slammed down upon them to shut them up. Will the same happen to Jeremiah Wright? My bet is that his actions will be brushed under the carpet and he will merely get a slap on the wrist, while the media jumps in to do damage control to keep him out of public scrutiny. This story will then fade, and Barack will rise again, clean as ever. Then more kool aid will be passed out as his speechwriter polishes his or her pen, poised to bring his "audacity of hope" message back into focus.
