The World loves Obama
>> Sunday, November 2, 2008
Just yesterday I was reading that the entire world is watching the U.S. presidential elections with great anticipation and that when Barack Obama wins the U.S. Presidency, the people of all nations will embrace him as the World's President. What an awesome and incredible honor and responsibility that will be. I believe this behooves us to lift this man up in prayer, to pray protection, guidance, compassion, wisdom, and strength upon him and upon his entire family.
The following is an African song in honor of Obama simply entitled, The Obama Song, expressing the gratitude and hopes of the world for this incredible man, the man destiny has called to pave the way for peace and healing for a broken world.

WT was just making this very point at the dinner table last night. He does a LOT of international travel and talks to a diverse range of people. It's true, Obama has an incredible world wide appeal and the potential to heal and unite.
I'm so nervous about this election! Hopeful and excited, but nervous, too. As your post points out, it's not just us in America who are affected by the outcome of this election - it's everyone around the world, because we are all interconnected. We in America need to revive the concept of "community", locally and globally.
When Obama wins...he truly will have his work cut out for him. Our economy is in ruins. We're fighting an unauthorized war in Iraq and so many will be praying that he fails. But if we all lift him up in prayer together and support his leadership...he will be (I think) one of our nation's greatest leaders.
