I ...Dear Fellow Traveller,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments! I believe in the "Power of Prayer". I am yet to see another nation in the world, where quite a few people take this seriously and actually pray for the leaders. When was the last time anyone prayed for Dr. Manmohan Singh? That's why this country is unique and blessed to a great extent.<BR/><BR/>Take the biography of Lincoln, who people accused as not being a church member or religious enough :-). Through His presidency, he changed and one of his last words before he died, were that, "He wants to go to Jerusalem". I believe, people prayed for Him.<BR/><BR/>As for the conservatives who want Obama to fail, the less said the better.<BR/><BR/>Thanks buddy for your comments. Visit back! Your thoughts are appreciated.Rajeev Muralidharanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809806072679421388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327625508306494155.post-85609952506029276712009-01-26T08:26:00.000-08:002009-01-26T08:26:00.000-08:00For what it's worth - I suspect that Barack is a c...For what it's worth - I suspect that Barack is a closet atheist (or at the very least, a humanist). I say this because he seems to understand where an atheist comes from. He writes in Audacity of Hope oh his mother, who was a humanist: "...She had an unswerving instinct for kindness, charity, and love, and spent much of her life acting on that instinct. … Without the help of religious texts or outside authorities, she worked mightily to instill in me the values that many Americans learn in Sunday school: honesty, empathy, discipline, delayed gratification, and hard work. She raged at poverty and injustice, and scorned those who were indifferent to both." <BR/><BR/>Check out this homage to his mother Ann Dunham on <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8330394@N03/3010391424/" REL="nofollow">Flickr</A>travelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00593373491950200798noreply@blogger.com
