So...it looks like Barak Hussein Obama will be our next president. And... it looks like God's sovereign hand will play a part in the election of an American president yet again.

Funny, isn't it? I mean the liberal democrats are adamant about keeping God out of our public lives and classrooms but they cannot seem to keep God from picking their own party's nominee for America's top job. For if there is no God in the heavens directing this electoral process, there is no way on earth, heaven or the place down below that merely seven short years after the tragedies of 9/11, a man with the name Barak Hussein Obama, becomes president of these United States of America. How ironic that just five years after the U.S. armed forces would invade Iraqi soil to destroy one Hussein, the people back home would put another Hussein in the White House.

This is not the only time God has interfered in American politics. Abraham Lincoln was a country bumpkin who stumbled his way to an unlikely place in history. The first would-be president born outside the original 13 colonies, Lincoln's family moved around much until at age 22 he decided to go it alone. Even though he was an avid reader, Lincoln had only 18-months formal education. As he was tall and strong, young Abraham made extra money wrestling and felling trees with an axe. Given his inauspicious beginnings, one could hardly think that this tall, lanky wrestler could ever aspire to, let alone attain, the position of the presidency. His list of failures in public and private affairs is well documented and yet somehow he was able to capture the impossible. And, without a doubt President Abraham Lincoln's tenure continues to be one of most remarkable efforts in U.S. History. God's choice in a troubled time he made the most of the opportunity.

Unlike Lincoln, William Jefferson Clinton had many successes in his early political life. As a senior in high school he was selected to Boys Nation by which he was allowed to shake the hand of then President John F. Kennedy. At age 20 while attending Georgetown he interned for U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright from Arkansas who at time was chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee. He was a Rhode's Scholar and studied at Oxford; one of the first non-athletes to be selected for the prestigious award. In 1979 he became the nation's youngest governor at age 33 and later president at age 46. President Clinton is a brilliant example of what a life can be if one takes the initiative and is willing to make the most of every opportunity. And yet Clinton's rise to the American presidency was no less remarkable. In essence like Lincoln Clinton did not have the pedigree to be the White House's chief resident. Born to a poor family in Arkansas, Clinton's father died before he took his first breath. His mother was forced to leave him home with his grandparents while she worked in New Orleans to support them. Most every significant figure in his early life died before they were the age of 47. His mother remarried a drunk who beat her. Everything about his early environment cried out: destined to be a poor nobody! I'd dare say most of America had never heard of the Arkansas governor before he announced his candidacy three months before the first primary. That Bill Clinton ever became president is unbelievable; an act only God could bring about.

Some will read this article and point out that Obama's rise is yet another example of the American dream -- that the rise of these men was a combination of good decisions and a little dumb luck. Granted but many with much more going for them have attempted to make the climb to the top of the heap to no avail.

No. If Barak Obama becomes president then much to the chagrin of the liberal democrat pundits there is a God in heaven... not because Obama is necessarily the best man but because there is no way America elects a man named Barak Hussein Obama otherwise.
