This is one of those articles it was hard to pick a quote from because there’s so much worth repeating.  The author approaches from another angle what I’ve said here before.  Our problems did not begin when Obama was elected, else we would not have elected him.  Our problems began in our own hearts when we turned as a nation from Yahweh and His principles.  Nothing short of repentance will redeem us now.

Barack Obama is only one man. A bad man, yes, but he is a symptom more than a cause. Without millions of fawning Americans, he would just be a community agitator, vainly preaching Alinsky principles from a soapbox.

But it is only the worst of physicians who focuses only on symptoms while ignoring the cancer eating away at the patient’s midst.
