The Lord chose Moses to lead his people out of Egypt to escape bondage and slavery. His people complained and disobeyed and was not allowed to enter the promise land of milk and honey because of their disobedience.

I believe that Obama's election to the White House is opening doors for him to lead his people out of the oppression they have had for years. I only hope that he does it with the Lord's authority and direction and not on his own.

As long as President Obama helps this country get back on it's feet who cares what the first lady wore? I would have been happy if she'd shown up in a pair of blue jeans and a flannel shirt!!!! Some people are snobs when it comes to how they dress.
