Obama God's Blessing On U.S.A.

We might consider that God has blessed the United States throughout our history with men, without whom, we can now clearly appreciate America might have become a much different place, such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. War historians can name officers and men upon whom the outcome of great battles rested and but for them history would have taken a dramatic turn toward who-knows-what. We might include a few non-political figures, as well: Fermi, Einstein, Bell and Edison come to mind. Each of these individuals seems to have been placed in exactly the right place and the right time to the providential benefit of The United States of America.

So it is with some amusement that I read of Her Majesties’ pronouncement that Barrack Obama is "a leader that God has blessed us with at this time." Based upon what, Nancy? What is notable about the several names listed above is that their greatness only became apparent in retrospect. During their active years most were despised, distrusted, and ridiculed by many, as are almost all great figures. Madame Pelosi’s prophesy may indeed be proven accurate some day (OK, probably not), but there is nothing at this point that lends itself to such hyperbole. I wonder if Speaker Nancy knows how effective she is in energizing the Republican base?
