What A Difference A Generation Makes

Now we stand at the precipice, ready to plunge headlong into the same socialist abyss that has swallowed so much of the world. No one can seriously believe that Barack Obama's plans for this economy are going to succeed. And meanwhile, his radical beliefs with regard to national security, the sanctity of life and traditional marriage threaten what is left of our moral fiber.
Barack Obama is not a good role model for the impressionable young blacks who idolize him so. He is not someone who attained his office based on the premise of Rev. Martin Luther King's dream that one day we would all be judged not by the color of our skin but by the content of our character. His meteoric rise to the pinnacle of power is due entirely to his rhetorical skills, his attractive smile and the color of his skin. He has accomplished nothing that justifies the position he now holds, and his naivety concerning America fills me with sorrow for the future we all surely will share.
