If God doesn't see His people stand up for him, what is left? Miss California is being nailed to the cross for saying that she preferred marriage between a man and a woman, she attends a Christian college, and when confronted was she supposed to deny God? Why is she being bullied to say something against God? Are we spending more time standing up for nothing and denying God? She said what the majority of California voters voted as. The crowd CHEERED for her, but now the media is trying to tear God down. The california voters AGREED with her, but she loses the crown and is now being raked through the coals for her faith and Godliness? We need to wake up, God is watching and every action we take is our revelation of where our priorities lie. Why should anyone be crucified, in a free country, as a worshipper of God?

The verse in the exact CENTER of the bible says................... " It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." Psalm 118:8 It could not be more appropriate.

I don't like that he: raised taxes on the POOR thru cigarettes / bowed to the muslim guy that oppresses women and freedoms / he released national security information to our enemies, methods that have kept us safe since 9/11/ that he signed EO 13502 / that he apologizes for the U.S. when in fact, EVERYone wants to be like us and those that can't want to destroy us / supports card check which promotes bullying of blacks by unions and threatens black businesses / that he signed and promoted using American money to promote and pay for abortions of our innocent children across the world / that his best friend is a teleprompter and isn't able to construct an experienced thought or action / that this terrible "stimuls" funds acorn that abuses our free voting system and turns it into a bullying system / that he is putting us in more debt than in the the entire world history of our nation.

I bet he'll shake hands with communists and socialists, I bet he'll release national security secrets, I bet he'll bow to a muslim king that demoralizes women and takes away freedoms, I bet he'll sign something to encourage murdering children worldwide, I bet he'll sign labor practices that will put black business out of business (card check), I bet he'll try to take God out of our country, I bet he'll be weak, ..............oh wait......

I have been reading some of the blogs. Atlantahottie, please stop. This is America, home of the free, land of the brave. Obama is great, he is the right person for the job. Whatever argument you have, keep it clean. You seem to be angry, my question is with who or why. It can't possibly be the President since I know he has done you no wrong. Your tone is unacceptable, I don't speak for all, but I do for me. You have to allow someone the opportunity to try before condeming them to failure as you are doing. I would hope that you would want better for not just you, but for America after living through the last 8 years of "what" A big mess. But how foolish of me, Atlanta is in the South (Republican state) how could I not realize where your attitude is coming from. McCain lost, get over it, get with it, and for the love of PEACE, can the crap and get with the program. He's doing a really good job and you know it. For what it's worth, have a good day.

It has been just about 100 days for the Obama Administration, it was 8 years for the Bush Administration. What is there to complain about when in less than 100 days President Obama has done more than the previous person in the 8 years they walked the halls. I think President and Mrs. Obama are doing a magnificent job. She is reaching the young, the middle and the old. She (Michelle) has encouraged young girls to becoome young ladies (you can see the change) and she has inspired girsl, women (mothers and grandparents) to want to be more than they are and encouraged them to give back. Obama has inspired young boys and men to want to become more than what and who they are. They see hope where once all they knew was despair. Since there are those who want to blame and complain, who did Bush encourage? America is and should be proud to have the Obama's. Everything that is being corrected, was inherited. What a gift.

Michelle Obama can wear anything she damn well pleases. Where is it written she has to dress like all the other First Ladys since1950? And don't get me started about a teleprompter. When you see President Obama taking his time talking, he;s thinking about what he's about to say. That my dear shows intelligence. GWB would blurt out whatever was on the top of his head and boy did he pay for that. You haters need to get a grip. You have absolutely nothing "on" Obama so you just make up sh#@*!!!

The man has been in office all of 3 months & you are blaming HIM for the state of the economy? You should read a book or something. When Bush was elected or better yet, stole the election, Clinton left his a surplus of money to be spent on the country, first time we were in the black in about 20-30 years. In 8 years Bush has managed to spent that & then some. I applaud Obama for even wanting to be president during these rough times but dont put the blame on him for this ecomomical mess!!!!! And trust when I tell you, I am in touch with reality & my pants stay dry!! by Tahera Wouldn't put it better!!! I am a big fan of the First family and President Barack Obama I am from Europe (German) it's a better world because of this man Barack Obama. As for President Bush, he was nasty vile liar. I wish USA all the best from your friends in Europe.

I might be off subject but I think I came up with a solution to some of the problems in Africa. We can send them Planting seeds for fruits and vegetables. This way they can have food and if there is a surplus they can sell it back to us to have extra money for things they need, like homes, clothes, schools etc.
