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.
I can only say amen to this post.

I do a slow burn when I hear people putting down President Bush. We might wish a thousand times we had him back before all this is over.

I too will pray for BO.......already have done so!

Re: Post Election Thoughts

My guess is that they are not happy with Americas leaders and not so much to people in America. Just a thought

Re: Post Election Thoughts

The hardcore rap music station in DC was playing Gospel music this morning!

There are smiles all over the place, Black and White.


This is an AMAZING day! GOD has smiled on America once again!

God bless the USA!

So you believe the "most liberal senator" will suddenly turn righteous??? And like Farrecon (sp?) "the messiah has spoken, now the youth will hear".

He already is righteous!




On a serious note, I believe we will see President Obama to not be so liberal as to take the country down the path that some folks are fretting about.


I believe he will govern a centrist government, maybe a little left of center-- but still centrist.

His Presidency will be remarkably different from GWB, in a good way.

Re: Post Election Thoughts

As I watched Senator McCain last night with tears in his eyes, I saw a great man. A man that does not have the Holy Ghost, but a man that is far above some that claim to have the Holy Ghost. He was clearly annoyed when his supporters began to boo. He refused to bad mouth President elect Obama. He said he looked forward to working with the new President.
Tearing down seem to be a trait with some apostolic. If things don't go their way they Bad Mouth and continue with the hate that has been prevalent since 2000.

Lord help us.

Yes mam all one has to do is read these threads. The bad mouth and distortions have not stopped and are continuing right along with some apostolic. It is not hypocritical to tell the truth.
Just read for yourself!!!

McCain showed a lot of grace and a considerable amount of class. Sadly...that's what his followers were lacking...and it sounds like many still do. lol

Re: Post Election Thoughts

Well, I'm nervous, but maybe Obama will surprised me and do this country some good. If he will get us off dependence on foreign oil that would be a step in the right dierction.
