While U.S. presidents may very well be the most powerful individuals on earth, the operative phrase is “on earth,” but a string of incidents has developed in which Barack is credited with much, much more.
The latest is an online video in which a young boy appears to be praying TO Obama. There isn’t much context given for the clip, but a description accompanying the short video that was posted by a user named Regina Young reads, “The prayer that he wanted to say for our President is priceless.”
The controversy surrounds the fact that the young boy speaks directly to Obama and not to God. The latter is, obviously, the general recipient of most peoples’ invocations and prayers, so to see a young boy bowing his head, closing his eyes and folding his hands and offering accolades to the president is certainly a bit uncommon.
“Barack Obama thank you for doing everything and all the kind stuff,” he opens the prayer. “Thank you for all the stuff that you helped us with.”
The child, who says that his name is Stephen, also thanks Obama for his “courage and responsibility” and he tells the president that God has given him a “special power.”
What disturbs me and others is that this boy sees the president as his source of provision. This is just another example of just how many Americans see the government and it’s leaders as the ones who give them their daily bread. We are allowing our children to raise children:
who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Romans 1:25
Yikes, It really does appear that the boy is praying to President Obama. And Special Power ? Uh Oh lol…
