Matthew 4: 1-11 tells a cautionary tale of power wherein he whom was given given a limited amount of power promises unlimited power to He being tempted in exchange for His worship.People always say that Blacks fail to gain any real power.
That Blacks must sell their souls to get anywhere.
That Blacks are inferior because of this.
But what is the cost of ones own success?
Does it require a deal with the devil wherein one must sell his soul?
Must one forget who he is and then begin to serve the masters of this world?
Maybe Obama (once given savior status) has forsaken his true master (The People) and he now serves his worldly master (Banks, Governments, Corporations, et.al.).
Everyone hates The Man - until he becomes The Man.Maybe Obama is human after all.
Maybe Obama gave in to the temptation that the acquisitive and aspirational so often seek.
Maybe Obama forgot his task (to serve the people) and began to focus on himself (his legacy).
Maybe Obama is more like Peter (a follower) than Christ (the Leader).
Didn't Peter deny any association with the downtrodden Christ before finally realizing his sin?
Has Obama done a bad job in an even worse situation?
Sure.
But maybe he'll realize his faults and again begin to serve his true masters (us).

I believe he is building something that is taking a while to realize. The problem is he isn't sharing the master plan so right now he looks like the guy who is walking stairs everyday to lose weight. We can visibly see he's working hard but since we see him everyday we don't notice the weight loss.
BrObama will be alright and I don't think he's serving another GOD. I think we are really asking too much too soon. This State of the Union is his first but since it's been a tough year people think he's been here for years. Let's see what comes into fruition before his next election. We got a lot of purging to do to fix all this ish.
