President Obama, whither now?

Half-white, half-black, Barack Obama was sired by a Kenyan Muslim. Later, but still in his early childhood, he was raised in Indonesia as a Muslim by his Muslim stepfather. As a young adult, residing in Chicago, he developed political aspirations and when it became tactically expedient to do so he turned to the Reverend Wright and utilized that preacher's spirited assistance to adopt a generic Christian facade. What he now really feels to be his true religious affiliation he keeps mostly to himself, but he does draw the line at praising God and reciting our Pledge of Allegiance, in public.

Supported and hyped by an intensely sycophantic media, he was elected by an electorate that was obsessed with denigrating Bush. But what those voters failed to foresee, is what now so perilously besets us. Against an Islam that remains unswervingly committed to exterminating Jews and all their American supporters, paradoxy was pushed to a dangerous limit. Not fully aware that jihadists are at war with us, the voters chose for the USA to be commanded by a Muslim Commander-in-Chief. Please God, where in your divine name does this ominous charade go from here?

While I don't believe Obama is about to hand over our keys to his co-religionists, deep in his unconscious may lie a complex messianic desire to forge some kind of transcendent union between us and Islam. But I suspect he must often wonder if his Islamic core can keep him from also being an uncompromising American patriot. Is God confused? Does Allah have answers? Do you?
