Invoking Higher Authority

President Bush is a good man hanging around with the wrong group, the kind your parents warned you about. They do him from all sides. As at any time, Bush has forces pushing against him. But the ones in 2008 are stronger.

A hostile Congress awaits the President as he returns from vacation at his secluded Texas ranch. Bush and the Democratic Congress clashed all year on the war, spending, health care and tactics for interrogating terror suspects. Bush invoked his veto power like never before in 2007, with effectiveness. Lots of key items remain to be done, including terrorist surveillance legislation.

The President is also likely to stick to economic themes in 2008. Bush's message is, the underlying economy is sound but the government must help people deal with mortgage crises, energy bills and education concerns. President Bush’s heart is in the right place, however, the few cronies left from his Texas mafia may have erased what little chance was left of broad, meaningful compromise with lawmakers. Our prayers are with the President as is the troops and Nation’s fate.

Huckabee, the likely successor received some very encouraging news today from polls that edged him past the Mormon with 3 days left before the Iowa caucuses. That Huckabee’s campaign is under funded and under managed is no secret; however, this will soon change after he wins a couple of states and the administration and establishment get behind him. Compared to his wealthier rivals, it’s amazing that he has got thus far in light of his limited funds and small organization. Given the right tools Huckabee is clearly the best choice. He has ascended to the top with the least resources, the mark of a true leader. His clean campaign coupled with his Statesmanship and honesty have won the hearts of the Iowans and the nation at large.

Huckabee is a Good Man and will help to restore our eroding faith, family, and social values; he is the unanimous voice of the Christians; while his ubiquitous appeal transcends the Christian spectrum there are those who subscribe to a different calling, a cult, Mormonism!! And will stretch their imagination and resources in fear of Huckabee’s momentum and what his Presidency represents.


After watching Ron Paul yesterday on MTP, I got a feeling that he would run as an independent. If he joins Bloomberg and the bipartisan coalition brewing in the cauldron, this might pose a big threat to the Huckabee candidacy, by splitting the Republican vote and drawing away the moderates who would otherwise vote for him in spite of the democrats.

Nevertheless, Huckabee, anointed by the Christians, has invoked devine authority and is riding high on God’s shoulders and through him, God’s will shall be done.
