Good Bye

But mostly deep, deep gratitude.
How many people get to come up with an idea and have rich people invest money to make it a reality? How many people get to create

Sigh.
My question is: What on Earth is the Christian Worldview Argument for Obama? Every answer I’ve gotten to that question has been absolutely pathetic. There’s no argument. Things like “he seems like a really good guy” and “he talks about his faith” and “we need a fresh face in the White House”. Huh? Behind the blather, the reality is that we’re Christians are choosing Obama because “it’s history-making and will lead to a post-racial future” (history? yes. post-racial. i wish, but clearly that ain’t happening.) and/or “I’m jealous of what others have and I think Obama will get me more of their stuff” and/or “he’s just so bloody chic, darling, and everyone knows that the cool kids are voting for The One”.
Great reasons to fast-track our Euromerican future!
