(13,141 posts)I do like Obama, seriously.
I never really expected much from him, but generally
don't expect much from politicians and often wonder
why they get paid.
But I'm rather mythically inclined, and see grand things
playing out in these times. For me it is about the wind and
the sun versus the oil gas and coal. The dark powers versus
the light and life-giving powers.
Many liars and hypocrites who deal in cheat and deceit
become extremely religious. This is because they've
sold their souls to the great god Fear. Greed, Deceit,
these are minions of Fear. Extreme religion is a means
of coping with the dark terrors which inevitably come to
such people.
But on the other hand there is something in the heart
of humanity pushing to be born. It is an urge for life,
for beauty, goodness. It is hope itself, and it's powerful.
The dark things have had their time, and wreaked havoc.
They are going down. I am up with hope and change.
Hope is what keeps me going in life. It is innate in my
heart. Change will happen no matter what.
I do not want people in power who will continue to poison
the planet, or start more wars.
I see integrity and honesty in Obama, I see a man who
strives to walk his talk, who does not trade in cheat and
deceit.
I believe he is a man who lives a self-examined life, as
Socrates urged. I see him focused on doing the
best he possibly can for the country and for all of us.
This is my point of view, how I see him. To me
Obama is a good sign of evolution & shifting times.
I agree with most everything else you said, don't think you
sound crazy at all.
