McCain Says Stop; Obama Says Go
Posted October 01, 2008 at 5:32 PM

It is no secret that the number one issue for most Americans is the economy.  We are in troubling times as energy, food, foreclosures, and unemployment rise, and stocks fall even more drastically.  Some call for a “bailout” plan to improve the current economic state, a move that would cost tax payers $700 billion.  Others claim Wall Street greed is the root of all economic evil.  Whichever path led America to this crumbling stage, Representatives are calling for swift, decisive action to reach a passed bill as early as Friday. 

John McCain made headlines as he publicly announced, “I will suspend my campaign and return to Washington after speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative. I have spoken to Senator Obama and informed him of my decision and have asked him to join me.”  McCain also pushed to postpone the first Presidential Debate that was to be held on Friday.  However, debate or no debate, now is the time to be informed on where these candidates stand on economic issues. 

Barack Obama made a campaign stop in Las Vegas last week, and discussed these issues in detail.  Here are some highlights from his speech:

“We Are in the Midst of the Most Serious Financial Crisis”

John McCain differs on economic views from Barack Obama.  The following are from John McCain’s campaign website (www.johnmccain.com)

John McCain will balance the budget by the end of his first term. The near-term path to balance is built on three principles:

  • Reasonable economic growth. Growth is an imperative - historically the greatest success in reducing deficits (late 1980s; late 1990s) took place in the context of economic growth.
  • Comprehensive spending controls. Bringing the budget to balance will require across-the-board scrutiny of spending and making tough choices on new spending proposals.
  • Bi-partisanship in budget efforts. Much as the late 1990s witnessed bipartisan efforts to put the fiscal house in order, bi-partisan efforts will be the key to undoing the recent spending binge.

In the end, it is up to you, the voter, to decide where this country will head.  Both candidates have different ideas of how to fix the economic crisis today that will affect our world tomorrow.

Qualifications that start from on high (in heaven) and trickle its way down to earth are in deed the qualifications that shall last and count. Remember with me, if you will, there was a certain young boy/a certain young teenager/a certain young nation that had help from on high. The outcome was tremendous. The things that we would have called foolish in our time and even if we had lived in those days, in a far away land, from the above individuals that were qualified by heaven to rule and to reign-the Heavenly Father used those same individuals to confound the wise. The way we look at qualifications even down to our GPA's are different in heavens point of evaluation. I've been on the dean's list at my junior level college and at a c-avg. at my university level. I even pulled 2 minors that were both above the avg. of 2.0, one in business and the other in communications. I am so glad that my work in the ministry and as an entrepreneur have both taught me to use God's word to measure and balance my decisions in this life.


The first case with the young boy was David better known as King David whom God sent his spirit and anointing on his life as the upcoming king over Israel before the residing King named Saul was off of the throne. It tickled me when I researched the information that surrounded God's choice an approach, because it was the children of Israel who begged Father God to be like all the surrounding nations. These surrounding nations answered to a King and not directly to Father God. What a big mistake-to lust after a middle barrier instead of hearing and obeying (complying) to the creator himself. Well, Father God decided that the first king that he would allocate to the children of Israel would be in the form of a punishment and that punishments name was King Saul. Father God was so angry with the chosen ones at that point that he sent an evil spirit in place of the anointing that he had originally placed on Saul, while he was still on the throne. Which meant they were left with a mess of a fulfilled request as their king.


The second example I would like you to consider is that the young teenage girl that Father looked down through time and chose to send his son through her blood line was the virgin girl Mary-who became the mother of our lord and savior Jesus Christ. What is beautiful in both of these real-life examples are that God's decisions are final. You see we as a people always over or underestimate each of God's choices based on our own biases. Senator Obama is MR. INTERNATIONAL-BY BIRTH AND EXPERIENCE-HE LOOKS BEYOND OUR EXTERIOR CLAY SHELLS KNOWN AS THE HUMAN BODY-AND FOCUSES ON WHAT IS THE NEED THAT LIES INSIDE THE HUMAN. Senator Biden has been one of my favorites for years. I love to watch his excellence and comical ways when he officiates on government panels. When I see him look across the table at those who are being drilled about their activities, I know that he will not rest until the truth (the real skinny) surfaces. America- SENATOR BIDEN IS BRILLIANT-DO NOT PLAY HIM SHORT. I believe in my deepest of intercessory prayers that Heaven is pleased with the way they are running their campaign.
