In their worldview, the country has been torn apart because of these and other issues. It is divided because of traditional values and faith and Judeo-Christian morality. Now they talk national unity, and healing and coming together, but that will only come with conditions. They will do what they want and expect for the rest of the 46% of Americans who rejected BO as president to go along for the ride, be silent and accept the will of the people.

Brighter days are ahead. Our nation is in bad shape. We now have a chance for salvation. Its all rhetoric. There may be some token gestures at appearing bi-partisan, but new presidents know if one is going to get much done they have to do it the first year b/c the midterms turn everything political.

I will pray for BO, in fact I have already, but strap on your seatbelts, 2009 is going to be a ride.

National unity is a ridiculous idea, complete unity requires that someone drop their values. Since liberals don't believe in absolutes, they have no problems swinging with the wind, and they cannot comprehend anyone that has values that are unchangeable.

You are right they cannot understand GWB at all, they love the darkness because their deeds are evil. Bush is not perfect but he has stood tall against evil, if the Demos dismantle the military it will be a very dangerous world.

I understand that human rule will not bring about the righteous of God, but we need leaders that really care about the defense and protection of the nation. I do not trust the Demos in this area at all, to say nothing of the social issues.

I pray that God will give BO wisdom beyond his training, and he will have the courage to stand against his party. Maybe the true black church will bend his ear, like a black grandmother rebuking her children for their sinful ways.

It means we get along in spite of our differences. That's what used to make this country so wonderful. I'm convinced that it's getting so bad that one half of America will not be happy until they've arrested or killed the other half. The extremists on both sides are the problem.

We're talking politics. Not religion. Not values. For example, I have gay neighbors. I believe they have a right to privacy and all the same rights I have. But I wouldn't allow them to sleep together in my home. Nor would I expect my pastor to perform a union or to bless their relationship. We have deep differences...but on a political level all men are free and equal.

I agree, I have changed my attitude toward Obama, he is the new president and I pray for him to have the wisdom to do a great job.
