Charisma or Character

I have just been sent some photos from a friend of the response around the world to the election of Barack Obama's election. It concerns me in that people have come to see a personality and are persuaded by a personality, their response reminds me of the days when the Beatles first came to the United States; unreasoned emotional excitement which historically has led to mountains of unfulfilled expectations, frustrations and grief.

We now have a MAN who will take office in January of 2009 whose positions on many social and economic policies are in my opinion so far to the left that they could only make sense in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Block nations.

We must pray, ideas have consequences and we have a very popular and charismatic leader who is being "worshiped". No man should be worshiped but alas I fear this man is.
