Topic: Politics!

I had a friend I work with ask me a very interesting question about Barack Obama. She wanted to know if he might be the "anti-christ". I was actually surprised such a question came from this particular person. She doesn't normally get in discussions of this nature. I personally don't think Obama is the anti-christ but it certainly made me look into Revalations a little closer.

I find elections very frustrating BECAUSE of the media's obvious twisting of the truth. I find it hard to know what each candidate is about. I know as a voter I have to dig deeper. I do feel that the democratic primaries and candidates(presidential) have gotten so much media attention that we don't hear much about the republican candidate and his
campaign. -greeneyedgirl

i like obama - i think he'll offer us hope that we haven't seen and turn our nation on to social issues for once. i believe he has integrity, leadership and a genuine love for Christ. it's too bad that Rev. Wright gave him such a bad repuation...obama handled it well though by disassociating himself from the Rev.

Obama certainly is a charismatic individual - so intelligent, an excellent communicator. What social issues would you like to see him address, and how? I'm not so sure about his offering us hope, although I know that is his mantra. What type of hope, specifically, do you think he can offer us?

On the subject of our having to dig deeper, greeneyedgirl. . .I wonder what would happen if those of noticing the media bias would begin sending emails to the network anchors to let them know that we see and hear the political bias? It's a thought. . ."a trip of a thousand miles begins with one step," as the old proverb states. ~Pat

I have thought more about your comments about Obama, Mystery, especially in light of how Obama has conducted himself in more recent weeks. I have serious questions about both his integrity and leadership qualities. I am not sure he is the person to be the president of the free world. What is your current evaluation of him as a presidential candidate?

Is anyone out there as concerned about the upcoming presidential election as I am??? If so, I would really like to dialogue with you.

Some of my concerns are that. . . . our next president will have the opportunity to appoint some supreme court judges. . . .Obama thinks in terms of political socialism, which deeply concerns me. . . .over the past few years, Democrat leaders have negatively portrayed our country and have hurt us worldwide, while blaming the Republican party. . . .people are not thinking for themselves or researching the facts about presidential candidates' positions, but are listening only to the mainstream media for their information and are blindly following their liberal lead. . . . .among other concerns.

Does someone want to talk about my concerns? Hope so! Let's talk!!! Pat
