Obama's Lust For Power

I was reading in Max Lucado’s “Grace for the Moment” some things too good not to share on page 356: “The push for power has come to shove. And most of us are either pushing or being pushed. I might point out the difference between a passion for excellence and a passion for power. The desire for excellence is a gift of God, much needed in society. It is characterized by respect for quality and a yearning to use God’s gifts in a way that pleases him. The quest for excellence is a mark of maturity.”
Now, I wish, for his sake and the sake of our country, that President Obama’s apparent insane adolescent lust for power at any cost might be just a mistaken “notion” of a few of us old people who have been around too long and enjoy being negative.
But what if we are right? It could be that the country some we have loved dearly for almost a century is in a lot worse shape that we can remember since all the “inconveniences” we suffered in 1929.
What if, “God is not mocked” and we and our posterity have to, “Reap what we sow” morally and financially? What if?
