Is Anyone Paying Attention?

Bill Clinton tries to make John McCain into the Manchurian Candidate! According to a report on Fox News the former president said that POW's come back and are O.K. for a while and then they snap. This comes after Wesley Clark basically said that John McCain didn't really accomplish anything as a soldier since he was shot down. WOW! It's going to be interesting to see all of this stuff play out over the next few months. I would have never thought that a former POW running for office would be ridiculed for being shot down in a war. I guess surviving his imprisonment wasn't much of an accomplishment either. Bill Clinton of all people knows what it means to snap - did anyone hear some of the comments he made while stumping for his wife?

In other new Obama thinks that it's necessary for each of us to learn a foreign language (and embarrasing that not more Americans can speak French). I know our world is changing and the need to learn another language is becoming more and more important especially in the business world. But does he know that a majority of the people supporting him barely speak English well much less another language?

And what about Jesse Jackson? Does anyone think he's jealous of Obama? His recent comments caught on an open mic (which I will not repeat) has him running around apologizing now. Maybe he's hoping for a cabinet level position should Obama win the presidency.

While all of this is going on Iran decided to test a few missles capable of reaching Israel. I guess they felt like people weren't paying attention! And yet more and more people in Congress and abroad think we should simply leave them alone or just talk to them. You can't reason with crazy people!

Why am I sharing all of this? Because we need to take notice of everything going on around us. The election this year is critical - the things people say and do are important - and we still have threats against our nation and our allies. I hope you are paying attention.

P.S. For those of you praying for our Ukranian Team: they are on the ground (or should I say train) in country heading toward their destination. It's good to hear they are no longer in the air. Please pray for their continued safety and that God will use them in great ways for His Kingdom.
