God is the ultimate power - but with freedom comes responsibility

Hello Amelia,

Yes, as Daniel Pipes has written, never before has America elected a President so "unknown; enigmatic".

Obama's success is a reflection of America's atrophy of objectivity; not to mention, America's accelerating denial of God's power, leadership; influence, instruction.

Atheists, agnostics, as well as holy-roller religious nuts cannot deny that our founding fathers were adamant that while God granted us freedom, with that freedom, comes RESPONSIBILITY.

However, "responsiblity" is an ever-decreasing commodity in the American Dream.

Ergo, we elected an iconic figure; one that bouys the masses; one that embodies the antithesis of America's success. He is THE poster-boy for Marxism.
