		<description>Obama&#039;s questionable rise was bouyed by his malicious switcheroo of a verse from the Bible.  Check it out:

 
“The Audacity of Barack” — He Slipped Racially Poisonous “Change” into the Bible “Quote” Dedicating His “Dreams” 

Obama, who can stop the oceans from rising, can also bring “change” to the words of the Bible. And get away with it, unnoticed, like a pickpocket with two wallets. 

Obama faked the Biblical “quote” in the dedication, “changed” it so that it works for him. Cleverly edited, the phony “quote” better fits the tone for his repeatedly bitter account of his personal feelings of racial alienation and visceral rage in America. He accomplishes his slight of hand by falsely telling his readers that 1 Chronicles 29:15 says “For we are strangers before THEM (emphasis added), and sojourners, as were all our fathers.” “Sojourners” of course means aliens in a foreign land, visitors who don’t really belong.

If a reader has any doubt regarding who Obama perceives as these “sojourners,” or who Obama thinks is the “them” in the verse, the answer is made clear on page four, where Obama recalls how he and his roommate together “enjoyed” verbally humiliating and “laughing at” solitary white pedestrians who strayed in front of their apartment in the “shifting border” of Harlem in Manhattan. . 

Over more than 400 pages of “Dreams” we learn how implacably alienated Obama and his various roommates, beer and dope buddies, and fellow super cool party animals are, and believe they have every right to be. This alienation holds as constant as the Northern star, from Hawaii to New York and on to people he “organized” in Chicago. The alienation is endless, everlasting, and indelible, the consequence not only of rampant white racism, but simply of being a racial minority. Not enough “we,” too many “them.” It comes as welcome relief of sorts when Obama describes how much more comfortable he felt when he went “home” to Africa, where he enjoys “the freedom of not being watched.” 

The more you read his “Dreams,” the more brilliant Obama’s choice of that Biblical dedication about being alien visitors in a foreign land seems. But there is just one minor problem: it isn’t true. Obama, not God, wrote the “quotation.” In his masterful, unseen hand, the “you” or “thou” (meaning God) becomes an unwelcoming “them,” and a semi-colon conveniently “changes” to a period. Obama’s inserted period cuts off the Biblical voice, and also cuts the reader off from any chance of grasping the true meaning of the real Biblical verse. Quickly and subtly, Barack alters the passage from a humble recognition of the power of God into something completely different– a Bible based indictment of a racist America. God’s (Obama’s actually) word adds enormous gravitas to Obama’s ensuing “chronicle” of racial anger, alienation, and resentment. 

If Obama can cause the oceans to go down, this power must be weighed against the danger that with his “Dreams,” the smooth and clever Obama also has the power to command a very different ocean to rise– a sea of increased racial resentment and anger. Far from being the “great uniter” Obama may well become the greatest divider in American history. How will the alienated black Americans Obama describes throughout his “Dreams” react if Obama is not elected President? What “we” versus “them” recriminations and accusations will follow? How divided will America be in the aftermath of Obama’s misadventure? Will we then all feel we are unhappy “sojourners” in an alien land? 

An Obama defeat might greatly increase the pernicious effect of his transformation of 1 Chronicles 29:15 from being a uniter of our common humanity before an almighty God, into a divider of America into “we” and “them.” America may well reap a whirlwind of racial alienation either way– if we do elect him, or if we do not elect him. 

If we elect him, we hand the reins to a recklessly deceptive man, a cipher obsessed with his racial identity, endlessly going over and over the racial slights he has experienced. But if we do not elect him, many of his followers may conclude the worst about the “them” Obama has has inserted into 1 Chronicles 29:15.

If only Obama had been true to the actual prayer by David to God as written in 1 Chronicles 29:15, and taken it his heart– “For we are strangers before YOU (not “THEM”) (emphasis added), and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.” Then this man on the way to the White House might have been humbled by the awesomeness of God as compared to our transitory days on earth, rather than going, as he has, through his life with his nose out of joint, focused on his own anger and inner feelings about his racial identity. As it is, Obama is clearly not ready for prime time, much less for taking command of the helm in America next January 24th.
