Barack Obama: My New President!

I’m just about as conservative as they come politically. I did not vote for President Elect Obama and actually stood passionately opposed to him being elected. As much as the guy scares me I want to seek to be fair to him. The behavior of the left with their “Bush Derangement Syndrome” was sickening. Everything was Bush’s fault and he could do no right in their eyes. I don’t want to be “that guy” with Obama. I wish that he would change his views on the travesty of abortion. His liberal voting record is frightening. I also fear that his history in Black Liberation Theology has flawed his view of the gospel. Christ did not come to deliver us from oppressors; he came to deliver us from ourselves. But that is an issue for another day. I will pray about these issues and will passionately stand against him when I feel it is warranted. However, I also want to stand with him when I feel it is warranted as well. It is a truly special thing that a guy who could not share a water fountain with me fifty years ago is about to be my new President. I rejoice in that fact no matter our disagreement on the issues! He and his wife also seem to be good parents who highly value their two little girls. He has put together an economic team that is pretty far from socialistic ideas. I will probably stand opposed to him often in the years to come but I hope that just as often I will pray for him and be able to rush to his side and stand in support of my new president.
