Although witnessing a political phenomenon with the two Democratic presidential candidates of a rare magnitude, their speeches have inspired millions and yet most of their followers have no idea what either stands for except platitudes of “change” or their promises of “uniting the American public!”
The power of speech from a charismatic person truly can be a powerful thing. Certainly Billy Graham has charisma and both his manner of speech and particularly the content has changed millions. On the extreme other hand, the charisma of Adolph Hitler inspired millions also and the results were catastrophic!
While Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton are “Hitler” types, they are not “Billy Graham” types either. A lot of what Hillary has done is knowledge to many, which is why she is not the candidate of choice. But what defines Barack Hussein Obama?
He is not patriotic. He shows no allegiance to the USA. He does not stand at attention for the singing of the national anthem. He does not place his hand over his heart to show patriotism to the flag of our country. Obama will not wear our flag pin on his lapel. From “Audacity of Hope,” his second book which he authored, he says, “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
To further show his idiocy toward our government and country, he has said that one of his first goals after being elected would be to have a conference with all the Muslim nations. He supports granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, voted yes on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security and is ranked as the most liberal senator in the Senate today and that takes some doing with the likes of Ted Kennedy, Hillary and John Kerry being there with him.
