The Obamanation of Desolation

The ultimate empty suit

"Wicked men are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous stands firm."--Proverbs 12:7

Emptiness seems a likely legacy for Barack H. Obama. From legendary actor Clint Eastwood's timely depiction of Obama at the recent Republican Convention as an empty chair to the increasing reality of America's 44th president as an empty suit concerning his astonishing ineptitude; if the proverbial empty shoe fits Obama's empty persona, then Obama's empty foot and indeed his entire empty body must wear it.

Emptiness certainly isn't limited to Obama. Obama's former chief of staff, the equally empty and inept Rahm Emanuel, the current Mayor of Chicago whose city has become America's unofficial Murder Incorporated, recently offered the empty idea that Obama is to be praised for saving American automaker GM from bankruptcy in 2009. But ask the former non-union employees of GM's Delphi parts division how well that worked for them. While Obama handed millions of taxpayer dollars to the labor unions that build GM products in order to save their jobs, he literally screwed the Delphi workers out of their retirement incomes by terminating their pensions.

And so, how's that for Hope and Change? For the Delphi workers, there's little hope of recovering anything other than some small change that might still remain for the pensions they worked so hard to earn. No matter. The unions vote Democrat because they get bailed out by the Democratic Party when their companies lose millions of dollars because they build terrible products that no one wants to buy. And certainly, pie-in-the-sky companies such as Solyndra, Ener1 and Beacon Power that produce expensive green energy products that few have any use for and few can afford, become the recipients of millions of taxpayer dollars because their executives contribute handsomely to the Democratic Party.

A former pastor I was once associated with said this concerning the growing presence of evil dictators and wicked political leaders throughout the world: "Wicked people get wicked leaders after their own hearts."  America has been cursed with a terrible leader in President Barack Obama because America has earned Barack Obama. When a nation turns its corporate back on God to worship at the shrines of violence, sexual immorality, hedonism and murder, then God gives its people leaders that are a reflection of themselves; leaders with evil hearts full of sin and depravity. 

Americans may still believe that the United States is a Christian nation, and in some ways it still is. But a true Christian nation doesn't tolerate the murder of over 40 million unborn babies since abortion was legalized by the United States Supreme Court in 1973. Nor does a true Christian nation tolerate the desecration of marriage; the promotion of sexual perversion and the glorification of murder and violence through the debased and depraved Hip Hop culture. And certainly, no true Christian nation allows its religious freedoms to be steadily and stealthy wiped out by Marxists and atheists such as Barack Obama who pretend to be Christians for political purposes.

Barack H. Obama never should have been elected to the U.S. presidency. He's an empty suit who has little skills beyond campaigning. But, he's a reflection of his nation; wicked, immoral, dishonest, apathetic, corrupt, nihilistic and narcissistic. If Americans truly desire to become a Christian nation once again, they they'll have to do more than just dispose of Obama at the ballot box in November; they'll have to repent of decades of moral filth and spiritual depravity. Otherwise, they can count on getting leaders even worse than Obama if that's possible. "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2Chronicles 7:14)
