Hey, hope you read late comments on your post.

Quote from 0bama’s speech:

“But, we keep our eyes fixed on that destined horizon, knowing that PROVIDENCE is with us...”

Uh, I hate to play the Hitler card, but do you realize that Hitler NEVER invoked the name of God when he talked about his destiny? Go look at the transcripts of his rantings in the last year of the war; it really picked up after the failed assassination attempt of July 20, 1944. He was convinced that “Providence” was guiding his life and would bring him victory.

Really, really creepy that 0bama would use the same term.

Thanks for that historical observation! When I heard Obama say, “PROVIDENCE,” I knew it was relevant-—thus the caps.

See post 1884 for background, if you haven’t already, but you’re historical context is invaluable. I never knew that.

Thanks again.
