Would President Barack Obama and a Democratic Congress Be Good for the Country?

Posted October 27, 2008

Would Barack Obama's winning the election and governing with Democrats firmly in control of the House and Senate be good for the country? Democratic strategist Paul Begala says it would, while former House Republican leader Tom DeLay says that it would hurt the nation. Would a President Obama with a Democratic Congress be good for the country? Post your thoughts below.

A little perspective please.

Ok, a few things I don't get:

1. How is Barack Obama the antichrist? I'm the son of a Methodist preacher and have heard all of the fire and brim stone sermons before. I have even read a great deal of end time prophacy and I just don't get it.

2. How come every time a new advance is made in science, a perticularly ominous sounding year passes, or a minority group gets another right there are always doom cryers? Isn't it some kind of sign that the world keeps NOT ending? If you're basing this on the Bible then doesn't it say that no man knows the hour? Stop using your religion as a means to hate. That is not what Jesus taught. Matthew 22:36-40 (King James Version)

On the Democratic Congress and President: Hopefully the implied cooperation will be able to expidite the traditionaly slow government processes so that our country may move more nimblely when it is needed to, and, with the economy in it's current shape, I believe there will be plenty of need for swift action in the near future.

God Bless

Man elected President of America...was choosen to deceive!

To all concerns..in thoughts... Fred Harris from CA....said it all...For The Christain people , God will be with us and our children..

The Anti-Christ, the mark, scanning, debt cards, will be counted for every move you make, date, location, time, address and of of course your # Social Security will be your ID ..

You will accept the mark or die with your head chopped off....Folks,, its written in your Bible... for the days shall come, in the last days...and we are nearer then you think! Be aware, The Kings James Version Bible, from the beginning to the end of times...READ YOUR NEW TESTAMENTS ...ACTS 2:38 AND REVELATIONS...TELLS YOU ABOUT THE ONE COMING!

Those who voted the one elected... are non Christain..For if they were Christain, the wisdom of God been applied to go....the rightous way ,The signs were given to you before your eyes and you heard the say.... For America has been Damn , the Freedom we once had will be taken from you..and yours! Thanks to the ones who lead the Blind..Evil has bought..your Soul.....

To Me O'Bama is now my President, but I am real SCARED!!!

All this HYPE about O'Bama being like some sort of a CULT GOD,keep this up,and all the fears of the GOD DAMN AMERICA,

of his Preacher man the REVEREND WRIGHT,the ISLAMIC crazy person

will be BOUND to HAPPEN!!!It is said that the united States will HANG by a THREAD and it can be broken,and we can be cut adrift,in the"HEATHAN"world of the ISLAMIC GIHAD of FUCK AMERICA!!!I will back This O'Bama person,but I personally think

he will try to destroy our NATION,and do what JAPAN and GERMANY

planned to divide America amongst themselves once they forced

AMERICA to surrender!!!Pretty scary,but you see many hundreds of thousands,no MILLIONS of people right now are arming themselves against that set of thoughts I have!!!God id being taken off our coins,and they are taking any reference of GOD

out of the classrooms,and hundreds of thousands of signatures

are on petitions to remove any Evanglical television Ministers

from our homes!!!Scary,but it gets even worse,with O'Bama he doesn't see that Drug Dealers really cause any problems in America,in fact,they are only trying to do BUSINESS as USUAL!!!

The fact that certain INDIVIDUALS are most often the PIMPS for

both men and women prostitutes,gives cause to wonder!!!San Francisco this ELECTION had on the BALLET to LEAGALIZE PROSTITUTION like in NEVADA,I DON'T think it won,but put it on the BALLET again,it will probabally will win!!!Scary,Scary times!!!More and more like Soddom and Gomorah,Prop 8 isn't over yet,it is only the beginning!!!Across America we can have 3 cat-

igories for Marriage Li!!censes!!!Bride and Groom,Clitty-Kitty Form(Woman-Woman)Fudge City Form(Men-Men),Lordy don't burn the cities down while I am in them!!!Job was given a warning and I would appreciate it,if I would be given the same opportunity to leave as he was given,if not,well,I will kiss my ass goodbye and

it will be"THE END OF THE WORLD"It has been predicted for cent-

uries that when the Wickedness was soooo bad,God in his infinite

WISDOM,and after-all,he is the CREATOR,and he can drop a DIME on

US any time HE gets tired of SEEING the FORNICATION and the lousy BASTARDS,who themselves have set themselves as the GOD'S,

to be RECONED with!!!GOD isn't a FOOL,and HE will do what HE wants when the World has no HOPE or DIGNITY left!!!This is our

Second Estate to see which degree of GLORY we will atain for the

next life,after the Reserection of the World!!!Be good for goodness sake,and it can be good if we persevere to the END,and be RIGHTEOUS amongst the HEATHENS!!!The BIBLE is GOOD and it is Right,do your thing,then get off the POT,and let the others do their THING,and if they are WRONG,they will be destroyed along with the OTHER unrighteous SOB'S!!!I am tired and I think GOD is tired also,so don't push HIM too much further or you can also

KISS YOUR ASS GOODBYE!!!Some of you folks may be shopping in HADES sooner than you think!!!I am not a violent person myself,

but I don't think that is the case with GOD,and after all HE
