Bush Remorseful But What Do Any of Them Really Know?

Christian's must pray for our president and president elect and all our leaders. Certainly as I and many have stated what do they know of the trials of everyday average people? Now some may have worked their way to the top but that was a long time ago. Yes some may have come from humble beginnings, average family lifestyles but it seems they have lost touch with their roots. Many just never knew what average people go through and some claim to be average but never were. Yes and some, in fact many today in office, born with the silver spoon.
Why say that? Well once again reality, fact. Just how do they relate to a family or individual who worked, saved, and is now losing their home due to layoff's. No work or low pay jobs and reduced hours? How do they relate when you can't pay your utility bill and the electric or heat goes off? How do they relate to constant harassment over past due bills you can't possibly pay? How do they relate to mandated state and federal obligations that if not met, like car insurance, you lose your license and your ability in many cases to get to work? Yes how do they relate when your child is sick and you have no insurance? Yes how do they relate when your mom has to pay a deductible for her medicine earning $600.00 a month while they hand out bailouts in the billions to the real irresponsible types. Yes how do they relate when their laws, their ideology, their deeds and works, what they have done and failed to do cause massive harm in many forms? Yes one can ask, and ask and ask how do they relate? The truth, the answer, the reality they can't and sadly in my opinion they really do not care to. No, I am not one for mere words. I prefer ones works. Yes like confessing and going right back to the same thing. Sorry, it does not count.
The fact is, the truth is, the reality is in my opinion like I just stated they can't possibly relate. If they related, like they profess we would not have legalized usury. We would have real help for families and people in foreclose not the facade they brazenly profess. We would have the billions to bail out people not the greedy companies. No we would not have lies, half truths, hidden agenda's, we would have the rest of the story, openly for all to know. In my opinion their remorse is a poor excuse to cleanse their consciences.
Well it cannot sit well with those who were and are trashed. Fodder for the greedy, the exploiters, those who have no compassion, mercy or love of their fellow man even while standing and wrapping themselves in the light of truth. Yes and those who accept, defend, condone and allow they are as guilty in my opinion as they who do or don't and they as well can have no real remorse. In fact many only echo their labeling of people.
Will I forgive them, I must as all Christians must. Yet we do not have to accept what they say. If and that if is so significant we would see an end to usury, we would see help for people, average people and families, no not hollow promises. Then their remorse would have meaning, truth, acceptance. They can act now, but they won't. Sadly their deeds go before them and no amount of profession will ever change that. You can accept that, but I don't and from any of them.
Direct, your damn right. In my opinion it smacks us all in the face, it is gall and the epitome of arrogance and disdain for us. Remorse, even while you do the same. I think not.
For every so called leader who points the finger at others that is an indication they are not what they profess to be, a leader. Leaders take responsibility and they take action. Rhetorically I find none today, always pointing, always blaming, always talking, never action and the action they do take suits themselves. I do find followers because in my opinion someone, somewhere wags the tale and they all jump. Call it what you want but the fact is, in my opinion there is no remorse.

Top-level comments on this article: (1 total)Again, Robert, you state truth and you are correct that we must forgive and pray for those "leading" our country - Today it was acknowledged that we have been in a recession since December of '07... oh, really.... yet excitement stirred many with the "success" of black Friday - was it success? I wonder what it was that was on sale in the Valley Stream, Long Island Wal Mart that caused everyone to stampede and run over a poor innocent security guard?... I wonder... Was a $45.00 mountain bike really worth the life of an innocent man? Maybe we'll get it and maybe we won't but band-aids aren't the solution - my concern isn't really for us, as you know; it's for the next generation- our kids - and what it is they are inheriting. It's a God thing, Robert, plain and simple, a God thing. Keep writing, my friend, keep on writing!Please log in to respond to this comment.Yes Judi, as we know that is there something more to it all? Wait until next year my friend and watch. Look up my friend, look up hope is coming soon only many don't know it and their entire trust lies with one man. Will theree be change, we have already seen it but will it be the one to help people? We already have the answers. best wishes, RobertPlease log in to respond to this comment.
