On the anniversary of the September 11th attacks, one frequent theme is the concept of evil and how to fight it. During the Obama-McCain forum at Saddleback Church on August 16, 2008, Pastor Rick Warren asked both presidential candidates about their views on evil. Watch Barack Obama's response.
Sorry, you need the latest version of the free flash player in order to watch the video clips.
I think his answer was "right on" as there are, all kind's of evil in the world. McCain on the other hand narrowmindedly see's only one evil and vow's to conquer it with more evil. To me he is so Adolecent and has a one track mind.
We are seeing 'one' of Obama's telling us there are all kinds of evil - GREED - in banking, insurance and on Wall Street. With no regulations and watching, many humans do all they can and get by with so they can gain ever more and more.
Enron was surely a bell toll for all that is happening - now - a $700 billion dollar bail out due to GREED and dishonesty and uncaring attitude for others.
The amazing salary of the CEO of AIG was reported as $400,000 a day -Hank Greenberg has amassed a billion dollars in salary and bonuses in ten years. Yet AIG needed help because of poor business practices. How much of what was done is due to the GREED of managerial employees.
Obama will help us with curbing some greed by letting the top 2% pay their OWN WAY in protecting their many houses, many cars, designers clothes and jewels, boats and travel.
And,the winner is-the finger points at "US" all. I agree with Mr Obama. In the name of Go(o)d, Evil is done. First
recognizing that the idea of Evil is all around us. Then, we as citizens will see it from the inside and then out. Not the other way around. That's how evil is understood and over-come. No one on Earth has a claim on Good or Evil. There is no stradlling the fence. Pick a side. Or, just keep a fool-in-the-House
Obama has a background which puts him in close quarters with evil people. Just because the man he spent 20 years sitting in front of in church was called a preacher does not mean that the man is a man of god. And others who he now has distanced himself from, indicate that he realizes that they will hurt his chances of gaining the Whitehouse. All of this tells me that we as a people will not get to know him and his real agenda until he is elected and then it will come slow, so slow that he will try to keep us all in the dark until it's too late. May god have mercy on this great nation and bless us once again.
