Yes, I tend to agree. MLK was a great man and a great civil rights leader but his stances were based upon morality and spirituality. Obama has yet to show me either trait based upon his voting records and affiliation with a black liberation church. He can talk the talk, but his walk is far from what comes out of his mouth.

And as far as being comparable to Lincoln, there is just no chance. People are digging deep for comparisons to raise this man onto the highest political pedestal. How about we wait and see how he actually governs? Which is something he has NEVER done to this point in his life.

I hope that the terrorist nations don’t react to the situation in such a manner, but it is a distinct possibility. On one hand, they have a wishy washy politician that is afraid to use force to defend his country… but on the other, they have a politician who will give in and enter negotiations with known terrorist nations. They are essentially in a win-win situation.

Now is the time to root out the yes men in our political world. I believe that we will see everyone’s true stripes in the next few years and we will need to vote accordingly.

I can’t wait till this day is over so I don’t have to hear about how Obama likens to Martin Luther King. The news media has been going all out comparing Obama’s inauguration speech to King’s, as well as comparing him to Lincoln. I would venture to say that if either of these great men were alive today, they would cringe at the thought.

You are correct,it will take about 2 years to use up all of the excuses that they can come up with associated with the Bush administration. It is really easy to be a couch potato quarterback.

The job that he has applied for and hired to do will try his mettle from the get go. Lots of promises to be fulfilled if he really meant them. I suspect that the terrorist countries will try something early on to see what he is made of.

I hope that we still have enough people in key positions that are not YES men. Like you said, I also hope for the best for the country. The color of a person doesn’t make the person.
