Many Americans are frustrated with the rate of entitlement spending by novice us president barak Obama. The United States is heading towards bankruptcy after years of governing beyond its means. Will Obama provide leadership? Will congressional interests work for the citizens?
Is US President Barak Obama A Committed Christian?
Is Barak Obama a committed Christian? First of all what is a Committed Christian? A Committed Christian is a person who carefully and wholly follows the teachings of Jesus the Messiah and is a regular attender of a fellowship of believers working daily to follow Him. Jesus said that we are not to judge others hypocritically but that His followers are supposed to follow His teachings. Jesus said believers are supposed to have fruit (good positive results).
In a Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson broadcast last week, Tony Perkins, President of Family Research Council made it what many committed Christians are thinking saying,
“I have no doubt, as you look back over the last two and a half of years of this administration, that the president has used his bully pulpit—he has done public policy but beyond the public policy that he’s pushed for—that it’s created an atmosphere that is hostile toward Christianity,” Perkins said.
Over the last 2.5 years of the Obama presidency, we have seen actions that go against the teachings of Jesus the Messiah.
-Bans on federal funding to be used for abortion were immediately lifted when he took office
-He said he was a member of a church were the pastor preached prejudice and only disassociated once the media reported on the church teachings of hate and division.
-Before and during president we do not know what church he actually attends as he does not meet regularly with any believers.
-He promotes homosexual marriage that is direct contradiction to Biblical teaching to both Jews and followers of Jesus.
-He cancelled the national day of prayer and has created an anti-Christian environment in government.
-In four separate instances has voted against bills that would protect aborted babies that were born alive.
There are many things that demonstrate that he does not have the fruit of a follower of Jesus. If you want to see their fruit you can look at what they do. Their ‘fruit’. Actions speak louder than words, but in the case of Barak Obama regarding whether he truly follows Jesus or not; his words speak just as loud as his actions.
In a 2004 interview with Cathleen Falsani he said,
I believe that there are many paths to the same place.
All people of faith, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Animists- EVERYONE knows the same God.
In a meeting of evangelical leaders in 2008, when asked if Jesus was the only way to God he replied.
Jesus is the only way for me.
There is so much material out there that shows He is not a follower of Jesus. Followers of Jesus believe and follow the Bible. Followers of Jesus are not to hypocritically judge other believers, however looking at the fruit that Jesus told us to display in our lives is essential for protecting ourselves against false teachers, hypocrites and those who are anti-Christ.
In American politics, many career politicians say they are Christians so that they can appeal to the masses of Christians in the United States populace. This is very clearly the case with Barak Obama… a true ‘political Christian’.
Barak Obama seems to speak enough of the Christian language to talk about being ‘saved’ but his actions and words speak louder than just saying he knew “Jesus as His Savior.”
US President Barak Obama Announces Deployment of US Marines To Australia
(BrightCitizen.com) Good on ya mate! (Australian for ‘Good for you’). We never thought we would see the day when the Americans would dispatch military personal to Australia. However US President Barak Obama in a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced the dispatch of American Marines to Australia. The BBC reports
Australia has agreed to host a full US Marine task force in the coming years, Prime Minister Julia Gillard has announced at a news conference with US President Barack Obama in Canberra.
She said about 250 US Marines would arrive next year, eventually being built up to 2,500 personnel.
The deployment is being seen as a move to counter China’s growing influence.
But Mr Obama said the US was “stepping up its commitment to the entire Asia-Pacific”, not excluding China.
The interesting thing to note is that although Barak Obama campaigned to get into office on a ‘peace not war’ theme. However, he like any other US president, had to get his reality check and after entering office had to make sure his nation is competitive.
However, the dispatch does make one wonder if it is really necessary. Aren’t their enough US soldiers dispatched in Asia Pacific with numerous bases in Japan and Korea, not to mention Hawaii and Guam?
Michael Moore Visits Occupy Wall Street But Is He One Of The 99%?
Michael Moore actually visited Occupy Denver to stir up the troups. However when a reporter asked him about if he qualified as being in the 99% and having a net worth of 50 million USD his response was interesting. Instead of saying no, I am not worth that much! He responded by calling the reporter a punk and calling him a liar.
With that type of you response you start to wonder. Check out the video here
It seems a bit like the rooster visiting the henhouse to make sure they keep laying those eggs
US President Barak Obama Judges American Businesses As Lazy
(Bright Citizen.com) US President Barak Obama judges American businesses as being a ‘bit lazy’ over the last few decades with foreign and US dignitaries at APEC meeting one news site reports-
HONOLULU – President Obama said that the United States has gotten a “little bit lazy” when it comes to bringing in new businesses in to the states. He made the comments at a CEO summit as part of the APEC conference Saturday, when asked by Boeing CEO James McNerney about looking at the world from a Chinese perspective and what they might consider as impediments to investing.
Although unions are famous in the United States for making American companies less competitive, negative comments from the current American President about American businesses will not be taken lightly. The American president should be the chief enthusiast promoting American business and bringing together the people of his nation. Could the US president be looking to highlight a problem to solve for a second term?
A New Leader Rises From The Ranks of the Republican Presidential Candidates- Newt Gingrich
(Bright Citizen.com) With little financing and many challenges the presidential campaign of Newt Gingrich was less than an underdog. However, with this year’s intensive debate schedule voters have had the opportunity to become very familiar with the candidates. Fox News reports
The new polls continue to show Cain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at the top. But Gingrich has carved out a space right alongside them.
A McClatchy-Marist poll showed Romney leading with 23 percent, and Gingrich close behind with 19 percent. Cain was trailing slightly with 17 percent.
A CBS News poll also released Friday showed Cain leading with 18 percent — Romney and Gingrich were close behind with 15 percent each.
Reuters reports a similar story saying.
Republican front-runner Mitt Romney has a new challenge to contend with as presidential candidates brace for another debate on Saturday — the rise of Newt Gingrich.
The former speaker of the House of Representatives is gaining in the polls and may represent conservatives’ last best hope in 2012 in their search for an alternative to the more moderate Romney, now that Herman Cain and Rick Perry are struggling.
Clearly, people are not comfortable with Mitt Romney as many view him as condescending and haughty in the debates as well as being a flip-flopper on the issues that matter.
At BrightCitizen.com, we are excited to see a candidate arise of substance. We want to see a president in the United States who is seasoned, honorable, and able to make decisions based on a solid understanding of history. Now 68 years old, the former Speaker of the House, Mr. Gingrich admits he is less than perfect as he confessed that he asked and received God’s forgiveness for how he divorced his ailing wife years ago. His debate performances and personal efforts to focus candidates of dethroning Barak Obama over attacking each other have shown what seems to be proving to be a perfect strategy.

Live from Oakland University in Rochester Michigan, the 8 Republican GOP candidates participated in a debate by CNBC.
Moderation was curt and at times rude. Candidates did well, but the moderators should not be used again. What do you think?
The facts about sexual harassment in the United States Of America
With the current political attacks on Republican Presidential candidate Mr. Herman Cain, one might wonder what exactly is sexual harassment and specifically what does it mean in the United States of America.
Most of the contributors of BrightCitizen.com are c-level (CEO, CFO, CTO, etc) with extensive experience in business both in the US and abroad. As any c-level in the US will tell you, sexual harassment accusations against management, in more cases than not, are settled by the accuser signing and agreement and a payment made by the company to avoid the high costs of America’s overabundance of lawyers taking any story to court. A small sum is usually paid and the person is released.
We have seen outright sexual harassment in the US and abroad. However like many things in the US, this charge has been abused and in most cases is just an inept employee looking for free money. This charge should not be taken lightly as it not only wastes a company and their staff’s time, it can also damage the reputation of good people.
Obama Sues Arizona Over State Immigration Law
(BrightCitizen.com) With 59% of the US public against illegal immigrants, the state of Arizona has reacted. They have enacted a law to allow law enforcement to check if people they come across on a day to day basis are legally in the United States or not.
(Reuters) – The Obama administration on Tuesday sued Arizona over the state’s strict new immigration law, attempting to wrestle back control over the issue but infuriating Republicans who said the border required more security.
The administration argued the Arizona law, which requires state and local police to investigate the immigration status of anyone they reasonably suspect of being an illegal immigrant, is unconstitutional and would sap law enforcement resources.
The Republican-controlled Arizona legislature passed the controversial law to try to stem the flood of thousands of illegal immigrants who cross its border from Mexico and to cut down on drug trafficking and other crimes in the area.

Is The US News Media Anti-Christian?
(BrightCitizen.com) The United States has been considered to be a Christian nation for almost three-hundred years. Some estimates say Christians of all flavors number in some 80% of the total US population. However, for anyone who watches the mainstream news, you will find very anti-Christian comments and reports. MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann calls ProLife people “Christian Jihadists”. CBS’ Katie Couric calls Christian values “repugnant”. Others have called intelligent and well-established Christians as people with “neurological disorders”. Why such bigotry and outright attacks on Christians?
There are many reasons Christians can identify, however SE Cupp in her book, “Losing Our Religion” sees it from a different angle. Ms. Cupp is an atheist. She comments that the goal of the news media is to overthrow God. To rip every discussion, every talk of any content on God. The mainstream media is a tool of oppression targeting mainstream American.
In a recent interview, Ms. Cupp notes that the media finally has someone in the White house that is as uncomfortable with publish worship as they are. On top of that Hollywood and pop culture has always been anti-Christian. These three mediums are a powerful influence.
The media uses religion as a weapon, they use it to humanize the left, and to demonize the right. The case is in point is the onslaught of attacks on President Bush who professes to be a Christian, while Barak Obama who also says he is a Christian is not under attack. This is more evident how the media has attacked people like Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee labeling those with Christian values as extremists and anyone of those who profess to be Christians on the political left are not submitted to such fierce criticism.
The liberal media does not handle nuance well. They cannot distinguish between Christians or any of the various types of Christians.
If Christian attacks were replaced with Jews, Blacks, Asians, or some other group, the anchor would be removed from their jobs. However, this double-standard in the media is very evident.
Ms. Cupp says these attacks are happening daily. She thinks that Christians need to organize around this. Just as the Tea Party’s have been organized around fiscal responsibility.
