Feeling Sorry For the President
Townhall ^ | May 13, 2012 | Michael Youssef

I feel sorry for Mr. Obama. Regular readers of my blog may be surprised to see those words, but I really do have feelings of genuine sympathy for him. Any human who carries a semblance of spiritual understanding will share in that feeling of sorrow.

Try to imagine him standing on two small boats in the middle of the ocean—he has one foot squarely in the middle of the floor of one boat, and the other foot is similarly fixed to the second boat. If an observer were to make only a passing glance at such a scene, one might think that both boats are headed in the same direction and everything is under control. But the reality is different. The reality reveals that the boats are headed in opposite paths.

Can you imagine the pain? Can you imagine the calamity that’s about to occur?

If that isn’t worth some genuine sorrow, I don’t know what is.

This past week, Mr. Obama claimed that he had reached the end of an “evolution” by coming out in support of homosexual marriage. That is one of the President’s boats.

However, his policies have been unmistakably pro-Islamist—not just pro-Muslim, but pro-fundamentalist, political Islam. He has Islamists as advisors in the White House and in the State Department. He constantly seeks to protect and defend Islamist ideology. And he frantically tries to distinguish between Islamists and terrorism, when in reality, the first produces the second. Painfully, this is the second boat that his other foot is firmly planted on.

I say painfully because those two ideologies—pro-homosexuality and pro-Islamist—are diametrically opposed to each other. They are two boats headed, full-throttle, in opposite directions.

The Islamist ideology calls for the killing of homosexuals. They are to be stoned to death. In a perfect Islamist world, homosexuals would be the first to be thrown into the fiery furnace.

That is an ideology that a true believer in Jesus Christ would vehemently condemn. As much as the Bible opposes the practice of homosexuality, a Christian’s ardent desire is for everyone to understand the fullness of Jesus’ sacrifice—that He died on the cross so we would have victory over any form of moral enslavement.

Mr. Obama claims to be a Christian of sorts. But his verbal claim notwithstanding, he is not a true Christian who believes in and obeys the authority of God’s Word. That places him in an unenviable predicament—one that only a clever, dancing politician would try to maneuver his way out of. But even the most gifted politician would fail to keep such a diverging-boat dance going for long. What is divided cannot stand.

One longs for Mr. Obama to truly embrace the Lord Jesus Christ—for it was Christ who unequivocally claimed He was the only way to heaven, while openly commanding his followers to love all sinners and invite them to repentance.

That is a position that will keep you secure in the boat of life.

I don’t think any sincere Christian would not wish for Barack’s soul’s salvation. But Barack isn’t a mere victim of circumstance. He yielded more or less willingly to a lot of junk.

I have no sympathy for the man. All he has done is intentional.

Perhaps both boats moving in opposing directions will cause Obama to fall into the water, and drown.

Half White Muslim Socialists can’t swim.

I prefer this:

May God have mercy on us.......

.....because if Obama is re-elected, he sure won’t.

I kinda feel sorry for him too. I cannot even think of the agony of waking up next to Chita every morning.

You’re a better Christian than I am...but, I will struggle to attain your level.

I despise the HOMOPOTUS because he has little compassion for the families he has INTENTIONALLY put out of their homes and jobs.

Sometimes I believe in an eye for an eye—let’s put him out of his “job” and put his family out on the street.

They’ll survive luxuriously; until the Judgement, that is.

Sorry but I don't share your sentiment. For onlookers to feel "genuine sorrow" there must be some unforseen tragedy. All of obammy's have been calculated risks. If he had one foot planted in one boat and another foot in another boat, maybe he shouldn't have betted on both boats making it to shore at the exact same time. He is a pox on everything near and dear to us. I feel nothing but genuine contempt.

These aren't two boats he's on, it's one:

Obama commands a big battleship aimed purely at the destruction of everything that has ever made America a good and strong country.

That's his one boat, and unfortunately Obama is a motivated and competent captain.

Was O a Christian before or after his conversation with Stephy Stephanopoulos?

"What I was suggesting -- you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith..." --in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, who jumped in to correct Obama by saying "your Christian faith," which Obama quickly clarified.

Israel went through the same thing. Turn your back on God as a nation and you will suffer.

Christians avoid the holiness of God and God’s judgment. We have gotten away from speaking about the judgment of God

We will all suffer living in this nation because our leaders have turned from God’s word.

****he has one foot squarely in the middle of the floor of one boat, and the other foot is similarly fixed to the second boat.****

This is what happens when one is double minded and unstable in his ways void of a real core. Quite a contrast to the previous president despite his shortcomings.

Stephie being on his side during this interview, probably saved his candidacy, but cost the country dearly.

When the position one finds him or herself in, is one of their own doing, and then does nothing to improve thier position..

screw ‘em.

Sorry.

Life is hard. It gets really difficult, when you’re stupid.

I respectfully disagree with those who state that Obama is an idiot, a moron or imbecile. While I do get the intent, it gives him something of a pass since his flaws can be ascribed to mental retardation.

I think Obama is probably somewhere near the median in terms of raw intelligence. He's not inherently stupid by some birth defect. Instead, he's savvy (or at least shrewd) enough to deliberately and maliciously engage in a strategic campaign to utterly desconstruct America as we know it. Evil acts due to clinical idiocy can be understood. But evil when willfully performed by someone who knows what they're doing is unforgivable.
