Standing As One In Prayer

Let’s face it, when President Barack Obama took office this nation was flat on its back gasping for oxygen. America was in the midst of the worst economic recession since the 1930’s. Foreclosures were through the roof. Unemployment was sky high. There were wars in three countries. Millions of people were locked out of health care. A certain news channel that starts with “F” and ends with “X” were and continues to perpetuate cynicism and uses racially suggestive language.

Look at car row in your city, at one time car dealerships were there, as a result of President George W. Bush many of them are now out of business, in addition to banks and finance companies.

Since President Obama has been elected the “Tea Party” which is a 21^st century White Citizens Council from the Jim Crow era continues to spread fear, employ and spread divisive racial issues that are aimed to create wedges between Blacks and Whites, the poor, and working class people.

Since President Obama has been elected Republicans refuse to give any kind of support whatsoever other than marching under the banner of “Hell No” to every single effort that has been made to move America forward rather than backwards. Sarah Palin’s campaign to “Take Back America” (to where, Jim Crow and Jane Crow”) is based on nothing more than injecting lies, fear, and hatred into the veins of individuals who lacks the capacity to utilize critical thinking.

Let’s set the record straight and see why it is so important that you join me every Wednesday and Friday at 12:00 p.m. EST through November 2, 2010 Election Day as we lift our President in prayer.
