There is no doubt in my mind that God loves Obama as much as me. He is God, and it is not His will that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

But I ain't God, and while I am striving for the kingdom, Obama snubs his nose at your and my God.

Bro, with all due respects, he was visiting the wall. Many important people throughout the world and in our own political system have placed prayers in that wall...and their prayers weren't exposed. Obama had no reason to think they would treat his prayers any different. The people "politicizing" what should have been a private prayer are the right wingers who are filled with nothing but hatred for Obama.

Evidently thought it out, not a spontaneous prayer, looks like he wrote it at the hotel.
Anyone who knows anything about visiting the wall knows it calls for a prayer that comes from the wells of one's heart. Spontaneous prayer is often shallow and misses the point. I appreciate any man who thinks about what he needs from God.

This is what I still don't understand. We have had a Republican President for 8 straight years. At one point we had a Republican Hill to go with it. Yet and still hundreds of thousands of babies have been aborted, and regardless of who is elected in November hundreds of thousands more will be in the next 4 years. So in my estimation we have always had and always will have baby killers in power. I am sick and tired of the abortion issue becoming a lip-service, rhetorical position.
I am not one for plenty of talk and what people say does not impress me one bit. Unless you are going to do something about abortion, quit harping on it in your campaign. It is patronizing, insulting, and to me is a slap in the face of all the babies who will be aborted.

Re: Obama's private prayer leaked

Don't think for a moment that Obama didn't think about the possibility of his prayer being made public. This guy is shrewd as they come. God certainly love him, but I don't know if that really goes both ways or not. I don't want to presume too much.

Democratic policies reflect the will of a large percentage of the American population. Politicians are advocating the policies that reflect the will of the people of the world. Much of the world is liberal and progressive. I don't think you should blame a politician that is reflecting the will of the people he or she represents.

It doesn't make him evil. Anyone in his position would know that and probably make sure they took that into consideration with what they wrote.
Bro....many political figures and dignitaries have left their prayers at the wall without anyone revealing what the prayed. In fact, this is a first. Obama had no reason to think his prayer would be treated any different. Here's the deal....people hate Obama so much they'll politicize his prayer. I think it's more likely that some bottom scavenging right wingnut stole the prayer TO politicize it.

Pony up and read the script.

When we had a republican president abd a republican congress, we had a definitive liberal supreme court.

This is where the law would have been struck down.

Study our form of government. The judicial branch as opposed to the executive and legislative branches is where the battle will be fought. The next president will possibly have the ability to appoint one or two supreme court justices. This is where conservative ideals must prevail. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Walk towards the light.
