Day after day, week after week I hear my fellow Mormons complaining tirelessly of Obama. I am honestly getting to the point where I might have to pull out the race card here sometime, and I am a white guy. Barack Obama is a man in good standing with an optimistic outlook on our future. He goes to church, he pays his taxes, AND he is loyal to his wife...all you Latter-Day Saints catch that one???
Our economy is at what many know as an All-time Low (speaking of that, their new album comes out in two hours...) in history. Some are choosing to blame this on Obama. Others choose to blame this on bush. Even better, people with brains are blaming it on the American Banking System. Next time I hear a member of my faith complain about Obama screwing up the economy, I might just shoot myself in the foot. It is not Obama's fault. He has done more good than bad while in office and he probably spends most of every day pondering over solutions to the economic turmoil. Economy = bank fault. NOT, Economy = Obama fault.
Who do you trust in office. A man who has a wife he loves, and two daughters he bought a puppy for, or a man whose wife is decades, if not scores younger than him who he met through an affair he had while married to his first or second wife? If any of you out there that are Mormon would choose the latter, you would be surprised to know that you did not pick Barack Obama. Instead, you picked John McCain. The right-wing is not quite in the right after all. Hmmmm. The Obama family is classy, and they all love one another. Is that not a fundamental principle of our church???
Also, did you know that Barack Obama attends church on a regular basis. The same regular basis that we all go to church on. Every. Single. Sunday. Ever. John McCain on the other hand, he seems more like an Easter and Christmas kind of guy to me. Don't quote me on it, but he never once spoke of God or Jesus Christ in the race for the presidency; at least of the hours I listened to.
Our church does not support nor comdemn any political party in existence throughout the world. The advice of the First Presidency is simply to vote for the person or party whose core principles and points of emphasis are most in line with our beliefs. The way I see it, I'll go with the man who has never cheated on his wife and goes to church every sunday. Sounds like a mighty, might good man to me!
Barack Obama 2012...I'll be voting absentee on my mission!!!
