He has certainly invested a lot of care and thought into that image and the results are undeniable. I think President elect Obama could be just a colossal disappointment, accomplishing little of what he has promised, but I doubt it. I think he will accomplish amazing things, things which will forever alter the course of our country and things for which many generations, not just Americans but people of many nations, will pay dearly.

You do not have an ideal as to what is going on. Some say God gave us Obama, some say he is not a Christian, some are saying he is black and some say he is white. Who cares! God did give us the ability to choose, wheather it is the right choice or not, look at Adam and Eve, they had a choice!! The answer is the majority made a choice, just as with President Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, etc. etc. Now we have to see if the majority made the right choice, very closely, and if so great, but if not, we have to stand united to correct it!! God and the devil gives us choices each day. As in the past we should "keep the Eagle eye" on the new President and act accordingly. God bless America ! ps If all of you is so concerned about God and the United States of American, I expect to see you screaming about taking "In God We Trust" off our money and lets get prayer back into our schools, homes and business' your fellow American I have read your comments and I see what I always see!

The United States finally stood up and showed the world that true democracy has finally landed on America's shores, and I could not be prouder of my country than I am at this moment! The bitter (and obviously racists), hateful comments are of no consequence. People have sadly, always used God and their "Christian Faith" to spew hate. The same people who have a problem with a woman's right to choose and to deal with her faith and its' consequences, have no problem with wars: why else McSame?,and this has no business in the discussion about our soon-to-be President Barack Obama and his faith. What you republicans bible-thumpin' "evangelicals" do in the name of your faith is shameful, and you will have to answer for your judgment ( remember that commandment?) one day when we all stand before God, or whatever name that we call when we pray. Those who truly love God's word, see the good heart in this man. I will pray that God, the Father, will make him invisible to the snakes in the garden who profess to love life and the Lord, but as Satan's minions are always at the ready to spew hate and want to cause harm...,all in the name of loving God ,and caring about life. These same people had no problem cheering Bush/Cheyney on while they drove this country and other parts of the world into total destruction! False claims to love this country, and to care about the unborn,look like the bitter bleats of a small-minded, group who seems to think that the United States of America belongs to them alone, even though every single one of them are from a family of immigrants. Check your hate and racism, disguised as "Christians who love their country and the unborn" (but to HELL with them once they're born!), at the door and grow up!!!!! You like petty children,whining b/c you lost, while the world won! CONGRATS AMERICA. MAYBE NOW THE WORLD WON'T DESPISE US FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!! OBAMA/BIDEN!!!

Neither is he the anti-Christ that some of his detractors claim him to be. I was glad to hear that he prayed with evangelical ministers before his victory speech. If he was only claiming to be a Christian to get elected, he would have dropped the act once the votes were counted. He may not believe exactly the same things that I do, but if he made a genuine commitment to Christ, God can use him in these perilous times. He can't live up to the expectations that have been set for him, no one could, but if he surrounds himself with wise advisers and seeks the face of God, the next 4 years may not be as bad as some McCain supporters fear. We all have a duty to pray for the president whether we always agree with him or not. Barack Obama is not the Messiah that some of his supporters seem to think him to be.

The President if the President. On a day-by-day basis, he doesn't have much, if any, effect on my life. At least now Sen. Reid of Nevada can finally say he has a President. If I may use him as a role model, I can also claim now to NOT have a president, just like him, because I disagree with all that he is and does. Thanks Sen.

I supported and voted for John McCain but the people have spoken, and Barack Obama is our President. From this day forward, to do anything but support him in his efforts to lead the nation would be unforgivingly unpatriotic of us. Not to mention selfish, bitter and divisive. To read these posts is sad, because it seems many of my fellow McCain supporters would rather see our nation peril and "be proven right" than see it prosper and "be proven wrong". And you people call yourselves Christians and patriots? I urge all Americans to put our differences aside so we can secure our nation and protect our way of life. Everyone, just accept it.

Hold onto your wallets, cuz this guy is going to suck away your wealth so that he can give public housing to illegals just like his auntie. There is a lot of talk about hate in these posts. Hey maybe it's not hate, it's just intellegent people giving an opinion that this guy isn't suited for the job. Any any black voter who voted for him because he is black, hey that is racist !!!!!! It's good enough for you but nobody else? He's got a very strong socialist agenda and will attempt to quiet any dissenters in the ranks. Where have we seen this before? THINK people !!!!

That is encouraging. Viewing it on TV, I had to admit it was very moving, and there was like a glow or peace about it. In my own experience, the Lord has often brought peace and something special in the atmosphere when invited. So kudos. Actually, this nation was conceived and founded by an overwhelming number of highly educated and fervent Christians who had no problem with public prayer. In fact, their problem was with government interference in their pursuit and expressions of faith.

For example, you cannot found a religion that says it is OK to smoke pot when pot illegal - that has been tried. History, even recent US history, is full of religious crackpots and lunatics - Charles Manson, Jim jones, Warren Jeffs, the hale bop comet people, the list goes on and on. This is whythere are supposed to be laws about it. And one only needs to look to Iraq to see what happens when church and state are not separated, and kids grow up being brainwashed into believing there are virgins waiting for them in a special place with Allah - if they just kill infidels. The people who flew the plane sinto the WTC were very religious - they just don't agree with your definition of religion. Again, this is why there needs to be a separation. "I'm confused.
