Post Elections

The elections were so close last night we finally had to shut the television off and just pray for good outcome. I think we were hopeful, but kind of knew what the outcome would be. I turned my television on first thing in the morning and soon discovered Obama had been elected again. Not only that, our judicial system in Iowa kept a crazy judge that brought the legality of same sex marriage into our state along with electing new lesbians to congress. Past elections didn't get to me and I try really hard not to follow politics. It only upsets me.  This year it was hard not too. It just seemed so obvious that Obama was not helping our country, but really hurting it. All day I felt sad, like there was a haze about my thoughts. I could not think of anything else and just in shock and awe at Americans, Iowans, people.  What has happened and how our morals and standards have turned to laziness and expecting everyone to take care of those who don’t want or care to work. There are lazy people and drug abusers, that get everything they could need handed to them, all the health care they need, food stamps, college education paid for, and so on. Those hard working people who labor and work at it, there paychecks go to those who live off the system. It is so sad. Even more so, how sad that we can elect a president who  is for killing babies, same sex marriage, and thinks the worst thing about America is Jesus, and has a really messed up health care plan. There are so many immigrants here, many illegally, that cannot afford health care and so many others that are living off welfare, so it is people like us that’s health insurance is going to sky rocket so we can cover the cost of those who can’t. It is hard to know that a lot of those are just people that are lazy and don’t want to work or are druggies. There is going to be major changes in the heath care system and I think we will lose a lot of good doctors, and the system is going to be a mess. I fear what it will look like when we need to be in the hospital for something. Small business will not make it just because they cannot afford insurance for their employees.  Whoa, talk about messed up and yet people vote for this man. It makes me sad and depressed to know how people think.I could go on and on . Anyway, today I have prayed more times in one day than ever. I pray all day long. I am reading the psalms in my bible study and it is very repetitive in putting our trust in God. He is our rock, he is our refuge. It is through our faith and trust in God that keeps my outlook positive. This is all part of his greater plan for us and we need to put our trust in Him.

Here is a little something I found interesting.

A Little History Question

 My father was born in another country. I was not his only child.

He fathered several children with numerous women.

I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me.

My mother died at an early age from cancer.

Although my father deserted me and my mother raised me, I later wrote a book idolizing my father not my mother.

Later in life, questions arose over my real name.

My birth records were sketchy.

No one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.

I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my new country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.

I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.

That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and embarked on a new career.

I wrote a book about my struggles growing up.

It was clear to those who read my memoirs, that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.

I became active in local politics in my 30's then, with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s.

They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything.

I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization.

Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me, as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.

I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.  This bolstered my ego.

At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy...

I was very critical of my country in the last war, and seized every opportunity to bash my country.

But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy.

I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better, and every poor person would be fed and housed for free.

I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.

It was the free market, banks and corporations.

I decided to start making citizens hate them and, if they became envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.

I called mine "A People's Campaign".  That sounded good to all people.

I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support.

I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope', together we could change our country and the world.

So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include "persecuted minorities".

My true views were not widely known and I kept them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.

I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people associated with. I'm glad they didn't.

Then I became the most powerful man in the world.

And the world learned the truth.

Who am I?
