While I have had a lot of fun the past couple days talking about being "deep", today I want to share a few thoughts about the "Obama Nation". Now, please do not worry. I'm not finished sharing my thoughts on Spiritual Depth. There are a lot more thoughts inside my "uneducated" mind.


Thoughts about President - Elect Obama: 


  • FIrst, and foremost, all computer spell checks will have to be updated ASAP!

  • While I did not vote for him, I am optimistic about having a young leader who is willing to be innovative. I might not agree with all of his philosophies, but it will be fun to watch if he really is a "change agent."

  • I love the fact that I am alive in a day that a Black man won the presidency! I think that is really extraordinary knowing how far our nation has come.

  • I love that President - Elect Obama's campaign leveraged technology to rally people! For people to have influence in the future they have to understand, or at least appreciate the new language of technology. (It really is a language and you need to learn it!) 

  • I hope that Obama will be as innovative with our economy as he was with his campaign! To simply mess with taxes, and try to salvage aging industries without drastic change will not help. ( That is simply my opinion.) 

  • "Obama Nation" - that term excites some and freaks others out. Bottom line: One nation under GOD! The sooner we get that, the better off our future will be. 

  • I'm not sure what to think about the President of Iran (Don't want to try to spell his name), and Hugo Chavez, being excited about Obama. Honestly, it doesn't do much for me. Only time will tell!!  

  • I would like to go through his acceptance speech (which was executed perfectly) line by line. For instance - he alluded to "all of our responsibilities" - does that mean we are going to have a flat tax rate for all? Just a thought.

  • I think Obama has a better chance than any other president to reach across party lines and generational lines. He has the charisma to do it, only time will tell if he has the character to do it.      

  Again, overall I am optimistic of what will happen in the next four years. 


The two options: 


  1. President - Elect Obama will be guided by God and lead our country in a great direction.

      2.  President - Elect Obama doesn't lead well and we finally get desperate enough as a nation to ask God for help. (Story of Gideon - Judges)  


Either way - God will win! 


P.S. - Obama did say on ESPN that he was for a playoff system in the NCAA. Take the top 8 teams and let them rumble. Things could be heading in the right direction. (We'll see.)

Re: President Elect Obama

I really appreciate your thoughts about President-Elect Obama. You see, I am a black Republican, and I voted for him. I believe God did put Obama in for such a time as this. Thanks for your perspective. ~Cathy~

Re: President Elect Obama

I just want to thank you, Clark, for your leadership on this issue. Your sermon a couple of months ago reminded me that everything is in God's plan, and then your series before the election made me feel so much better about the outcome, even though it's not what I had hoped. I don't think I would have handled this election in a very graceful way without your lessons. I can relax knowing that even though the person I thought met the criteria didn't win, God is still in control and I too can see the good points in Obama. I will honor him as our appointed President and pray for him and our country. Thank you again.
