Politician not Pastor

I am not big on what either politicians or the talking heads have to say. Although today, I was reading an article at Sojourners and a CNN link caught my attention.  Apparently one in five Americans think Obama is a Muslim. I read his statement of faith he made the other day and it seems to be on the up and up. He’s following Jesus because Christ died to forgive sins. He tries to treat others as he wants to be treated. From what I read, it is all there. Obama may have all of his ducks in a row, but we cannot forget he is a politician not a pastor. As a politician at some point along the way, you have to give up what is really important to you so that you can say the things that John and Jane Q. Public want you to say to get elected. That’s why everyone thought W. was an idiot. He just said whatever came to his head. How did he get elected twice? Thank God for our current silver-tongued president that has a beautiful way with words, but don’t expect him to pronounce the Benediction at the end of his eloquent speeches. He is the leader of the free world, but only until another good Christian man or woman is voted in that promises the masses things that he or she may or may not be able to deliver. One more thought, or rather a question: Could God not use a Muslim to bring about His Kingdom both in America and throughout the world? Don’t get all offended, I’m just asking.
