Colin Powell Endorses Obama

Americans have a great deal of respect for General Colin Powell. This endorsement raises the bar for Senator Obama like no other. But, on the other hand, General Powell has always been a maverick when it comes to policy, to military and in his personal life.

He doesn't like to run with the stream. And, I believe, although he doesn't admit it, he is very happy to see someone from the African American Community who is credible and believable actually be nominated for President of the United States of America. If Colin Powell had political aspirations, the Democrats would have nominated him last time.

So, perhaps the prophetic words of Kim Clement are true. That whoever is elected as President of the United States this time, will prove to be one of the best Presidents and do great things for our country in the next four years.

This is why, we as Christians can say, God is in control. He will have whom it wants as President. And, if we don't vote, we will get whom we deserve!

As Americans we need to pull together. It should not be about race or color but
ideology. Both candidates are qualified - one has more experience than the other. But experience is a great teacher and whom ever is elected will have his share of experience beginning on day one in the Oval Office.

Ideology we have to vote for our values. Because if we don't, in years to come, they will rewrite the founding of our nation, the history of the constitution, and they will rewrite the policy of the churches in America as they have already written the history of our founding President George Washington so that they can eliminate the stories we learned in grade school about his "honesty, and his integrity."

By eliminating honesty and integity in our politics as well, we give license for dishonesty and untruthfulness and greed. This is the basis for the downfall of any civilized nation.

Since 1776, America "the loved one" has enjoyed the blessings and fruits of a godly nation because our moral and legal foundations were based on principals found in the Holy Scriptures.

If we decide to base our foundation on any other such written document, we will see the walls of our nation crumble into the dust of corruption, immorality, and anarchy. So how much time do we have left?

After this election it is only 4 years until 2012 the end of the Mayan calendar.

We need to all pray for our beloved America!
