Are you in the "hate Obama" club?

Fr. Rohr’s meditation today included these lines:

Expelling what you can’t embrace gives you an identity, but it’s a negative identity. It’s not life energy; it’s death energy. Formulating what you are against gives you a very quick, clear, and clean sense of yourself. Thus, most people fall for it. People more easily define themselves by what they are against, by who they hate, by who else is wrong, instead of by what they believe in and whom they love.

It seems to me that when George Bush was our president, there were so many people around who were members of the “hate Bush club”, and now there are so many members of the “hate Obama club”. It seems that we all wish to affiliate, belong to a group, and to belong to a group that has a common enemy is such a draw. The problem is, that is such a group there is never any talk of forgiving the source of affiliation. In Christian circles, how many times have you heard someone complain about a politician, and someone else respond with “Have you forgiven…?” When I read about something that a politician does that angers me, I take a moment to calm down, then I know it is time to forgive. Have we forgiven Obama and Bush?

I am diverting from the Rohr group for a bit today because I have a topic going there that I would like to let play for a bit.
 
No, and Jesus isn’t either. I am in the “I hate no one club”

I’m in the hate abortion club. Unfortunately, Obama’s core philosophy is abortion, the murdering of babies. There may be others who are upset with him for tanking the economy.

God Bless
 
The problem with most every politician is that the majority, when campaigning for office, rarely say what they will do. Instead, the tear down their opponents.

I don’t like that.

I really don’t like most of Obama’s policies. Many people lump his policies in with the person. It is much like “hate the sin, not the sinner”. I really dislike Obama’s policies and how he is leading the country, but, honestly, that says nothing about how I might like him as a person if he sat down to dinner in my house!

Thanks to Obama, my son’s school is a safer place, but that has nothing to do with any Obama policy! Since Obama’s Chicago house is very close to my son’s college campus, the police patrol it very closely! 👍 Consequently, my son has made his distance running route to incorporate the Obama property as much as possible, just for the added security! 😃
 
In my daily Rosary intentions,
I pray “for the Pope and the President,
for the unborn and the poor souls in purgatory.”
 
I don’t think I hate Obama, but I dislike to hate some of what he believes and stands for, and I disagree with him a lot.

I think he is a fine loving husband and father, and that is a really good thing. I was hoping that part of him would come through more in his professional life, but it doesn’t seem to have.

I think he portrays a positive in that he married the woman who became the mother of his children and is still married to her!
 
I don’t hate Obama, but I disagree with him, and especially how his pro abortion views.

I do not hate Obama. I do hate the moral evils that his administration has spent the last 3 years trying to push on the American people.
 
I do not hate Obama but I do detest his policies. I pray for him everyday, that the Lord will continue trying to reach out to him via his Holy Spirit, and thereby change his philosophy into one which supports life. There are other policies with which I disagree but the main one is his beastly pro-abortion stance.
 
I don’t hate him but I believe his fan era should come to an end. It saddens me to see that a pro “choice” (for the mother, not for the child) president seems to have some kind of celebrity fandom even among Catholics.

Obama has no control over the abortion debate; it is a supreme court decision settled in Roe vs. Wade. I am positive he doesn’t sit around and contemplate the murder of babies. Instead, he is a man dedicated to championing the rights of the poor, where the true focus of Catholics should be…
 
I do not hate Obama but make no bones about the fact that I hate his policies, particularly those that encourage abortions. I pray everyday that the Holy Spirit will change his policies into those that support life at all stages. Unfortunately, abortion has been a staple of his for so long that I feel that my prayers are useless on such an obstinate person. My only hope comes in 2012 when we hopefully will elect a President who supports and defends life at all stages.

By the way, I feel that Catholics who support politicians who believe in unrestrained abortion will have to answer for their positions, if not in this life, then in the next.

I don’t hate Mr. Obama, I wish only the best for him and his family but I am firmly convinced that his Presidency is not nearly as good for him as a Board Membership on the Habitat For Humanity, or Give Kids the World board would be. Genteel retirement to Chicago, a speech here and there at a luncheon, perhaps a cotillion appearance with the girls. These are all things that would better serve him and his many talents.
 
Which policies “encourage” abortion? It sounds as if he forces people to get abortions. Let’s vote for a candidate who is pro-life but then believes in executing criminals, because that is the conservative agenda. Their agenda includes elevating the rich at the cost of the poor. I hope when I am in a time of need people will help me, and not preach the evils of abortion…

Do I hate Obama? No, I don’t.

Do I wish that Obama were a factory worker in Illinois and that someone else were President? Yes, yes, a million times yes!!!
