THE 96 USES OF "I"

Do you think maybe the leader of the free world might have an ego problem? Ninety-six times in his recent State of The Union speech, he used "I". Not counting the number of times "me" was used.

How about God? Did he use "God" even once? I must admit, I could stand to watch only a small part. I didn't even watch all of the Republican response. Shame on me, I didn't even stick around to listen to the commentators tell me what the President had to say and what he meant. I did see that on a Fox poll, that 87% of those responding thought the speech horrible. It could probably duplicate that number if the same question had been asked before the address.

But back to God. Have we forgotten the Godly principles this nation was founded on? And if you, cynical reader, think me wrong, then you don't know American history Surprise, surprise, even Harvard was founded under those same purposes. So how can any President ignore God now? Can rarely be seen attending Sunday worship services? Cannot give God the glory in every speech or news conference?

One presumably that mistakenly thinks he's in control. He may be in power for now, but God's still on the throne. And if I'm mistaken about our nation's leader, and I pray I am, then I sincerely apologize. If I've judged him, then I am badly wrong for there's only one judge.

Let me just end by saying, Barack Obama--let go of your ego.
