If Jesus Christ were president, the Republicans would call him a Socialist. "Sell what you have and give to the poor" sure sounds like redistibution of wealth to me.
And they would worry that he was soft on foreign policy. The greatest nation on earth doesn't have to turn the other cheek for anyone.
If Jesus Christ were president, the Democrats would complain that he hasn't fixed the economy yet. What does he mean, "The poor will always be with you"?
And they would fret because he hasn't said anything yet about Gays in the military.
So I'm not surprised that people are disappointed in Obama.
All of which is just an excuse to share a poem I have enjoyed for a long time.
e e cummings
no time ago
or else a life
walking in the dark
i met christ
jesus ) my heart
flopped over
and lay still
while he passed (as
close as I’m to you
yes closer
made of nothing
except loneliness
