quoting scriptures

what does it mean when the president of a nation
of every growing distension
quotes holy scriptures
for hope?

to look at the sanctity of should
of choice
of good
so to speak, of what is right
dutiful

let's bring the goodness out of killing dreams
and persecuting the "perpetrators" of what seemed to be a
monumental catastrophe
but which turned out to be a...

good never sounded so bad,

"not the human capacity for evil, but the human capacity for good. . . . On this first National Day of Service of Remembrance, we can summon once again that ordinary goodness of America"


de veras?  esto, this, i believe, es lo que mas me incomoda de el Obama- is what makes me most uncomfortable about Obama

Obama, administration officials pay tribute to 9/11 victims

'Let us renew our resolve against those who perpetrated this barbaric attack,' the president says on the first National Day of Service and Remembrance.

"We pay tribute to the service of a new generation, young Americans raised in a time of peace and plenty, who saw their nation in a time of need and chose to serve," Obama said, with a few preacher's words for the assembly: "Scripture teaches us a hard truth: The mountains may fall and the Earth may give way, the flesh and the heart may fail, but after all our suffering God and grace will restore you and make you firm, solid and steadfast."
