Without George Washington, we would not be a free nation. More than that, without George Washington, this would not be a great nation. By comparison, Obama is a messenger boy - no depth of thought, no sense of providential certitude, without originality -- not a leader of men.In the beginning, this editor was willing to allow Obama room for his particular assumption. A year later, Barack Obama is a greater failure than we had thought possible. If he had kept his promises, things might have been different. But his promises proved to be nothing more than wishful thinking at best and, at worst, manipulative statements of a man who has good reason to hide his past from the people he had hoped to lead --- jds.
“Such being the impressions under which I have, in obedience to the public summons, repaired to the present station; it would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official Act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the Universe, who presides in the Councils of Nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that his benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the People of the United States, a Government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes: and may enable every instrument employed in its administration to execute with success, the functions allotted to his charge. In tendering this homage to the Great Author of every public and private good I assure myself that it expresses your sentiments not less than my own; nor those of my fellow-citizens at large, less than either. No People can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men more than the People of the United States. Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency.” Source of Quote: Conservative Firestorm.
