I can’t believe the new “Pray for Obama Psalm 109:8” T-shirt. While the shirt seems positive, that part of the Bible is basically hate-speak when applied to a president.
Psalm 109:8-13 (King James Version)
8Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
12Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Some people just like being ugly and don’t understand or respect the electoral process: a few people run for office, someone wins with a majority of the vote and that person governs with ideas he stated during the race. There are vocal voters who feel that their congressmen and senators are not doing what they want. Look here genius, the election results drive the policy and an elected official who would go against 60 or 70% of the voters is wrong. In my opinion, serving in that manner would be un-American.
Of course, the majority can be wrong at times and we are thinking about those times with the current discussion of slavery that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid injected into the healthcare debate. During the civil rights movement, the Kennedy brothers were cautious with federal involvement because they did not want to offend southerners. Really? They did not want to offend people who were ignoring federal law. To conveniently ignore federal law and the U.S. Constitution epitomizes un-American activities.
Protesters to Obama policies say this is not the best course for our nation and sometimes I agree but consider the will of the people. For example, we know that diet, rest and exercise improve our bodies but most of us don’t do that. If the people elect leaders to do certain things (tax, spend, occupy nations), you must first take that up with the voters—not the officeholders.
I am sick and tired of conservatives saying that Blue Dog Democrats don’t represent the will of the people. Did those congressmen win their last elections by sizable margins? They must be doing what the people want and if you have a problem with that, take it up with the people. The protesters then say that an elected official would change his or her vote if the political winds changed. Hello, that’s called representative democracy. I am from the school of thought that believes that elected officials are public servants. Servants gauge the will of the people and act accordingly. If you live in a congressional district that is 70% liberal or 70% conservative, the actions are clear. If the district is equally split, the public servant often takes a compromise position that reflects the diversity of the area—not popular with anyone but fair. Who can understand that?
I never bad-mouthed George W. Bush because the people had spoken and he executed policy based on their sentiment. If Democrats had problems with those policies, they should have gotten more people into the polls…and they did. President Obama is a decent person who will govern based on the will of the people who elected him. I think he is fully prepared and might welcome being a one-termer who ran on reform and change, delivered and then bounced at the top of his game like Jim Brown. I hope that no one wants his children to be fatherless because hating like that will land you a spot in West Hell—and you will be surprised that you are there. Roasting. See what you have done: hating on your hating is going to land me there also. Roasting with no ice water.

The person that started this whole thing didn’t read the all of psalms 109. It is a prayer against people that wish ill on President Obama. So read the whole psalms. The fool who started this is wishing verse 8-13 on them.
Psalms 109 1-7 NKJV
1. To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. Do not keep silent, O God of my praise!
2. For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful have opened against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3. They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
4. In return for my love they are my accusers, but I gave myself to prayer.
5. Thus they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6. Set a wicked man over him, and let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7. When he is judged, let him be found guilty, and let his prayer become sin.
As you can see the sad person that started this was not smart enough to realize that the prayer is for him and not the President of the United States. If I were you I would read the rest of the psalm, it just gets worst for the red neck that was to dumb to see he was wishing ill on his own family.
And they say that black people don’t read. LMAO about this one
I think most folks neither know nor care what the next verse is nor what the book contains. They merely wish a closure to an unpopular administration. Many wish the president would go away and many more hope this will be his only term. They wish nobody harm and certainly not the President.
For crying out loud! Lighten up! It’s a JOKE!
Surly there are more important matters to take up than this?
Such as exactly what Obama did to deserve that Nobel Peace Prize.
Just kidding. Since nobody really knows, that’s not worth talking about either. 🙂
Nope… Just Psalm 109:8 and nothing more….
“Let his days be few; and let another take his office”
Nothing hateful about it, just Freedom of Speech and my opinion…….
