“You asked me earlier if I am worried about the exceedingly high expectations that people have for President Barack Obama,” Biden told CNN’s Larry King in advance excerpts of his interview with the talk-show host.
“I said domestically I wasn’t so worried about that but internationally I am,” Biden said, adding that foreign hopes for the incoming administration were overwhelming.
Regardless of your political views, its is obvious expectations by some of Obama are strataspheric and perhaps a challenge in and of themselves. So, I think we should pray for our new leader to succeed. (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Pray.

In the LA Times this Sunday there was an article about the anger from the opponents of Prop 8–the proposition in California that banned marriage of same-sex couples. It seems that many in Hollywood are out to black list people who supported the ban. It feels a lot like what the 1950s was when anyone at all connected to someone connected to communism would be black listed from Hollywood. There was a witch hunt then and one being reported today. Beyond the actual disagreements which have to do with traditional values of what marriage is, this concerns me for people of any opinion on Prop 8 or the idea of gay marriage. From the LA Times.

The traumatic effects of war, left unaddressed, will have far-reaching negative consequences for service members, their families, and their communities. Based on our ten years of global experience helping survivors of conflict overcome trauma and give back to their communities, Survivor Corps founded Operation Survivor to provide the same kind of life-changing support to American veterans and service members.
“We never hide from history, we make history…” said Senator John McCain in response to Obama’s historic win last night. This transformational figure represents many good things about us Americans. I pray for our new leader, his family and those around him.
