A Contrast of Presidential Proportions

The Office of the Presidency, as we have been reminded by many presidents in the past, most recently Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, is much larger than one human being. It is a huge responsibility to represent the greatest nation in the history of the world and to do so with proper humility.

President Reagan showed his respect by always wearing a coat and tie in the Oval Office.

President Obama wears shirt sleeves, loosens his tie, and puts his feet on the desk, even in photos.

President Harry Truman wanted people to remember the significance of the Presidency, not his personal imperfect humanity occupying the office.

President Obama seems to want his followers to worship him personally. Rather than using such terms as "we Americans," "my fellow Americans," Obama's speeches are filled with "I," "me," and "my." It's all about him, personally.

Look carefully at the words of this song now sung by American schoolchildren:

Mmm, mmm, mmm! Barack Hussein Obama!
He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mmm! Barack Hussein Obama!
He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mmm! Barack Hussein Obama!
He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mmm! Barack Hussein Obama!
He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mmm! Barack Hussein Obama!

I have taught many children in Bible classes the song, "Jesus Loves the Little Children," with the words, "Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight," meaning Jesus, the Son of God.

Now schoolchildren are taught that all are equal in "his" sight, meaning Barack Hussein Obama's sight, not God's!

Acts 12:20-23 recounts King Herod's grave mistake in accepting worship from the people when only God should be worshipped. Look what happened to him....
