Stimulus Package

I've been reading the newspapers and watching the news reports on TV about President Obama and his stimulus package.

Everyone who is against the plan seems to have forgotten why we're in the position we're in now, but no one wants to put the blame where it really is.

When George W. Bush took office from President Clinton, the country was in great shape. People were working and we were respected all around the world.

Well, eight years of Bush and a Republican-controlled Congress has us in this predicament. And now that President Obama has assumed George W's mess, and is trying to correct it, the Republicans want to keep things like they are and give him a hard time.

It appears the Republicans want to see President Obama fail as did their golden boys McCain and Bush, but what they fail to realize is that God has his hand on Obama's presidency and there is nothing they can do to stop it.

So the best thing for the naysayers to do is get on board and enjoy the ride back to prominence and respect around the world again.

For those of you that don't think God had his hand in this, read Judges 4th and 5th chapters.
