I am afraid of where all of this hatred is going.<br /><br />A business man in my small city has hung a huge sign on his property that reads<br />"Pray for Obama...Psalms 109:8."

And that also worries me sick. So I had to speak out. Gently, I hope. One nation under God? Maybe some need to be reminded of that, because I so admire that pledge.

Things are being said out loud that should never exit the lips. Everyone seems to be on the edge and hyper sensitive. I do wonder if we will all be able to come together again.

I feel that too so many times, and I am so glad you were the first to comment, because I really do value your words!And your desire for a removal team to help out your President made me grin here.

While I am no fan of our current president's policies or opinions, I do not hate him nor do I wish him anything beyond a good life lived anywhere but in the White House. <br /><br />Thank you for your insights, Linds.
