Top Ten Thoughts Regarding the Inauguration

10. As an American, I feel less secure today than I did yesterday. In his first day in office, Obama already is closing Guantanamo Bay and banning all torture techniques. I wonder what kind of message that will send to Terrorists around the world. About "come over and bomb us and do whatever you want...and if we capture you we promise we will put you up in an Holiday Inn Express." GOD HELP US!
9. But I do find myself praying more for Pres. Obama than I did for Pres. Bush.
8. I didn't like him (Obama) taking time to single out the Muslim world in his speech. With his Muslim roots and past Muslim associations, I don't trust him to speak or associate with the Muslim world.
7. I thought his (indirect)rebukes of President Bush was uncalled for and very unprofessional. If our nation is still in existence eight years from now, history will treat Pres. Bush very generously.
6.The booing of President Bush was classless. And what was worse than that was the media acting suprised and rebuking the booing crowd. "It was because of the media's constant criticism for eight years that caused them to boo in the first place."
5. I can appreciate the historical significance that President Obama's inauguration meant to many people, especially to African-Americans everywhere. I too am proud that our nation can vote an African-American man or woman into the highest office in the land. I just wish that person would not have been so liberal in their politics. I would have loved to have seen J.C. Watts, Supreme Court Justice Thomas, Condi Rice, or even Bill Cosby represent the African-American population as President.
4. From all reports (including Pres. Obama's), President Bush and his staff did a first-class job in making the transition. This was not true when the Clintons handed it off to the Bush administration.
3. President Bush and his wife were very gracious throughout the day until the very end. Even though he proved to be a "big-time government spender," President Bush proved to be a very principled man and a man who was not afraid to lead.
2. God help us all if something happens to Pres. Obama and VP Biden or House Speaker Pilosi is running the country. Just another reason why all of us should earnestly pray daily for Pres. Obama.
1. I have never heard the name of Jesus invoked so much in a prayer. Great job, Pastor Rick Warren. Hopefully, Pres. Obama will seek after godly council from Pastor Warren throughout his presidency.

The above is a light commentary regarding the inauguration. If it makes you angry, you are probably a little too democrat and not enough Christian. Just my thoughts! Have a wonderful day.
