Too be or not to be…is there really an answer??

Okay so I have to be delicate in how I say this…I am not a staunch Republican, nor am I a dedicated Democrat or a light-footed Liberal. I am more like Ms. America, I want peace and love and no child to go hungry in America, but my individual political ideas really don’t matter; although, it would make a good movie (Swing Vote w/ Kevin Costner).
So my point to saying all this was aroused by some emails that I have been getting forwarded to me that I feel are bordering on Obama bashing. One such email shows George W. Bush pigeon hunting, Ronald Reagan sport fishing and then Obama hanging a valance over a window. Now please don’t think because I am African American that I have a close-mind to humor and against whoever the MAN is. Yes, I thought it was a little funny, but for the purpose of my point, how many black males do you know that really hunt and if they do take their kids with them up on the deer stand to sit for hours at a time to shoot a deer between the eyes and then gut them; just for the sport of it? Hmmm…
Do I agree with some of his stances especially regarding abortion, stimulus bills, and religion? Being the society that we live, I pledge to invoke my 5th amendment right, not to self-incriminate. Seriously, think about this a little deeper with me if you will…the young African American generation starting right after the Baby Boomers have slowly been heading down a road of self-destruction. Yes, I said, SELF-DESTRUCTION!! Obama was raised by a single mother and his grandmother; I think he beat that nail pretty hard over the head during his campaign. He made choices that brought him to this narrow path that few follow that led to the White House. And he has learned a few things along the way.
Option A: Wake up at the crack of dawn, sit in a deer stand, kill a deer, and smile for the camera while holding on to the antlers.
Option B: Stay in bed where it is warm, dress in business casual attire, and then help the wife around the house so that at the end of the day you can crawl back into that same bed; rather than sleep on a hard couch.
I think Barack Obama knew exactly what he was doing.
As Christians we are taught at home and in our churches to stand out and up for Jesus Christ. Now I may be going a bit far trying to create this analogy, but to do things as they always have been done will get us the same results we have always gotten. (I don’t think those are my words, but it flows so nicely)
Here is a man who now has to represent the entire Black culture not just the American people. He is showing the young males of this country that you can be successful, honest, masculine, helpful, sincere, and passionate in your dreams and goals and in your relationships. He takes his wife on dates and drops his kids off at school and he hangs a few curtains here and there. I don’t recall any President doing that, maybe JFK?? I don’t believe that Obama has made some wise decisions, but I pray that he prays to the Alpha and Omega, the only I AM, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, just as I do that he will continue to strive to be in His image and sit still to listen to the quiet whispers of the wind that is the voice of God.
And all God’s people said…Amen!
