Pass or Fail?

16. Obama told us that there is "no imminent threat" on American soil from ISIS.

Pass or Fail?

17. In difficult financial times when unemployment is at record levels, should "public servants" be sensitive and set an example?

For vacation getaways, the Reagans went back to their ranch, relaxed and the president would ride his horse and cut wood. G. W. and Laura Bush returned to Crawford, Texas for some downtime in their rustic home. The Obamas went to Hawaii, Africa, Martha's Vineyard, Aspen, New York Broadway shows and countless golf trips in Florida and California. McClatchy Report states, "Obama's getaways have cost (taxpayers) $70 million thus far."

Here's the Deal

The "O Thrill" has unquestionably evaporated. Even uber-liberal, socialist billionaire George Soros regrets supporting Obama.

With all our President's speeches about our robust economy and recovery, honest and knowledgeable economists state it's just "smoke and mirrors". A financial day of reckoning is coming. The reliable Wall Street Journal just printed Jan. 2, "Stocks Post Worst Year Since 2008."

America's accelerating moral and economic decay has been aggressively advanced by Barack Obama's "leadership." It's a modern day tragedy.

Think back to Obama's two campaigns and church leaders avoiding controversial issues, not equipping people to be discerning and yes, opposing objective voters guides (voting records of candidates) being made available. Subsequently, remember church parking lots filled with cars displaying Obama bumper stickers? I wonder if some leaders now feel remorse for the part they played in his election and the current state of our country?

To get out of this mess, we need principled leadership — someone with courage, conviction and proven character. Think Washington … Lincoln …

Churchill … Thatcher … Reagan.

Heaven help us if we get Hillary and another go-around of scandals, abortion advocacy and socialism in disguise as "progressivism".

Democratic President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, made this statement: "The presidency is primarily a place of moral leadership."

In light of this, how did President Obama score on your quiz?

          "If My people who are called by My name humble themselves

          and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways,

          then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sins, and will

          heal their land." (2 Chron.7:14)
