I read this article yesterday on CNN.com regarding high expectations abroad for Obama. Here are a few excerpts, and some of my thoughts/comments (in parentheses):
"French President writes, "Your (Obama) election raises in France, Europe and beyond throughout the world, immense hope." (Do they think he's a world savior?)
"Many see him as the 'epitome' of the American dream".
"The world has been 'seduced' by Obama's vision of change." (Interesting choice of words)
"Globalization requires more cooperation with a wider range of countries and organizations." (Is that where we're heading---one world government?)
"Obama could be forced into a 'devil's' choice between military action, or supporting an Israeli strike, or living with a nuclear Iran." (Again, an interesting choice of words)
"Countries around the world will compete for Obama's attention. Africa, elated over the election of America's first black president, may expect increased attention and aid from the U.S. Additionally, Muslims familiar with Obama's Kenyan father and middle name, "Hussein", may think he will be more understanding of their concerns. Will he embrace them or distance himself from them in an effort to prove he does not hold any bias?" (Time will tell)
Christians, PRAY!!!
