Michael Reisig is a local author of several books about the 'end of times'.
You can find his books at: <http://www.michael-reisig.com/>

He is also the editor of our paper The Polk County Pulse in Mena,
Arkansas where he wrote this article. I have heard some of these things before
about Obama but Michael put a different angle on it. A little long, but a good read.
This was in the paper on February 20, 2008..
President Obama. By Michael Reisig Well, having observed the progress of
the Democrat and Republican Primaries I would have to say at this point,
America is probably close to electing Barak Hussein Obama as its next president.
I understand the need for change - but for all my observation of Obama I
have yet to hear any decisive, detailed plans - it all seems to be continual
rhetoric on the concept of change. It's all rather a puzzlement to me,
and more than anything I think this phenomena is representative of the new
Survivor/ Oprah Winfrey/ American Idol consciousness (where the bizarre
is applauded as reality and image is more important than substance), and it
is undoubtedly brought about by the overwhelming dissatisfaction Americans
have for a government that has cheated, lied and stolen from them for at
least the last two generations. But for minorities, and in particular blacks,
this election represents a moment of long-awaited validation. There is no
question that the election of an African-American president will empower
the blacks of this country. Don't misunderstand me - this is not a racist
statement, this is just a fact, and in many respects this could be a
good thing. But there is no denying the sense of audacious rebellion that
constantly simmers in much of the black community, particularly with the
youth of the large metropolitan areas. I have some concern that the
election of a black president will take us back to a consciousness that
promotes the power of race over intelligence, reason, and the value of
law, and that this may divide black and whites more than uniting them. I
hope that I'm wrong. Obama speaks a lot about a uniting of black and white
America, but the church he has attended for years would contradict that.
Although you won't hear much of this on national television, one has but
to go to Obama's church of choice, Trinity United Church of Christ (go to
the website to check for yourself) to find, and I quote, "An unabashedly
black congregation with a non-negotiable commitment to Africa. "An African
people, 'true to our native land, the mother continent, the cradle of
civilization." Nowhere in the website is America even mentioned. Can
you imagine if one of the other white candidates for president were a member
of a church that declared itself "unashamedly white?" What would the media
have done to them already? I was also startled by a number of the points
in Trinity United Church's 10-Point Vision: *A congregation with a
Non-negotiable Commitment to Africa. *A congregation committed to
Cultural Education (Africa). *A congregation committed to the Historical
Education of African People in Diaspora. *A congregation committed to Liberation. *A
congregation committed to Restoration. (Could this mean restitution?)
In addition, Trinity's senior pastor Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., is
considered by many to be a black racist, who, without question, preaches
radical Afro-centric theology. It appears, by affiliation, that we have
a man who wants to be president of America while much of his loyalty is
invested in black Africa. But there is also a deeper, perhaps darker
consequence in terms of America and its multi-national population when
we consider Mr. Obama as our new leader. Investigations have shown that
Obama's father and stepfather were devout Islamics. Both faithfully practiced
their religion. His stepfather, who had a much greater impact on Obama's
upbringing, was a radical Wahabbi Muslim. Obama's mother married Lolo
Soetoro, a Wahabbi extremist who lived in Indonesia. When Obama's
mother moved to Indonesia - before she married her second Muslim husband - she
enrolled her son in Francis Assisis Catholic School. He was enrolled as
a Muslim because he was a Muslim. Obama's campaign website has been hailed
as a testament to the candidate's transformative politics. But at least
part of the senator's online outreach, "Muslim Americans for Obama '08"
proposes installing Muslim prayer areas in public places and giving Muslims time
off for prayer, and has denounced Obama's colleagues in the U.S. Senate who
happen to be Jewish. Further troubling are the issues and solutions on
this site:
1. A Law against harassment of Muslim women wearing Hijab at the Airport, DMV and other public arenas.
2. Institute a Law to allow Muslim Employees to take an hour off from work for Friday Jummah Prayer.
3. Make the 2 Eid's (Muslim festivals), recognized National Holidays on Calendars with days off from work.
3. Make the 2 Eid's (Muslim festivals), recognized National Holidays on Calendars with days off from work.
4. Optional Halal meals in federalbuilding, public schools and colleges.
5. Provide prayer areas suitable for Salah and Jummah, in public and private facilities. (i.e.Malls, Airports, Universities and government buildings.)
6. Organize a Muslim American group to assist in recommendations for US foreign
policy affecting majority Muslim Countries. I have to wonder how many
encampments of Islamic extremists hidden in the hills of Afghanistan and quiet room
of Baghdad and Tehran listen to the news of America's primary elections
with unadulterated glee, considering first, that we may have a president who
has virtually no experience in managing a government, or attending to
military/international affairs, and secondly; the chance (as remote as it is) of
a quasi-Muslim president of the United States. Think of the possibilities.
I have sent this is almost everyone I know. If you agree with this, I
hope you will do the same, or at least make sure you vote. It really scares
me to think of Obama being president.
Its time we as Christians stand up and let our voices be heard. Let's
stop being the silent majority!
